I suppose we all need to keep in mind that this woman made these statements back when she, and just about everybody else, thought Hillary Clinton was a shoe in.
Surprise.

She can't pick and choose who she protects.
The link is getting a lot of "hits," but I didn't get from what I could read that this agent was working the POTUS detail or ever had.It's more fake news. She works in Colorado and has never been part of the presidential detail. The story would be if she put in for the detail (possible assassin?) or she was chosen despite the knowledge of what she said. Just like some of those "celebrities or dress designers" who will not support Trump. You were never asked.
Just for general information the SS handles matters and investigations other than protecting the President and his/her family.
As a practical matter firing her may be a problem, although depending upon what she's doing a "re-assignment" might be appropriate ... to a desk examining fingerprints on counterfeit bills....for instance.
What's remarkably stupid is she would refuse to respond "appropriately" depending upon someone's political beliefs .... if a fellow Agent is a known Trump supporter then she apparently would not go to their assistance and aid if they were "in trouble"!
She not only doesn't belong in the Service, she doesn't belong in LE at all. She discriminates based on the "protected" classes of persons. Originally Posted by LexusLover

She can be part of the "team' on the ground....Plus if she is needed in an emergency due to some unforeseen event she would be deployed for that purpose.
