Ricardo Staropolia former Secret Service special agent is strongly suggesting that the women assigned to protect Trump that day should take much of the blame.

The problem… when the SS agents bring Trump back on stage, a good portion of the presidential candidate’s body is exposed… and Richard says it’s because the female agents simply aren’t tall enough to defend Trump.
Cheryl TylerAnother former Secret Service special agent is pushing back against Richard’s assessment… she says height has nothing to do with an agent’s ability to protect the president, male or female.
To Cheryl, Richard’s beef here simply wouldn’t hold up under scrutiny… she says she knows several male agents who were shorter than the president they were assigned to protect.
