    What a shocker. Another Hillary voter who doesn't understand duty and commitment to the job they swore an oath to.

    This woman should be removed from her position and moved to an area where the protection of the President will never be her responsibility.

    I never heard anyone make that kind of proclamation while on active duty by any secret service agent. Another stark reminder of how deep the swamp is.

    Should she be fired outright or simply removed from presidential detail?

    A senior U.S. Secret Service agent posted Facebook condemnations of President Trump during the past seven months, including one in which she said she wouldn't want to "take a bullet" for him.

    She explained herself saying she viewed his presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country, and especially for women and minorities.

    Kerry O'Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Denver district, oversees coordination with Washington-based advance teams for all presidential candidate and presidential trips to the area, including all upcoming or future trips by the president, vice president or Trump administration officials.

    Despite her senior security role, she has made her disdain for Trump and his incoming administration clear to her Facebook followers, who included current and former Secret Service agents and other people who were employees at the time of the posts. O'Grady's posts triggered at least one complaint to the office that oversees investigations into Secret Service misbehavior, two knowledgeable sources told the Washington Examiner.

    Regardless of what detail she may or may not be on, It's not good to have her posting nonsense on facebook, and other outlets disparaging the President as a member of the Secret Service.
    She should be fired IMO. Shes a disgrace.

    Trump's safety shouldn't depend on a liberal activist like her. Fire her, immediately.

    They do, but as you Liberals always say...there can be repurcussions. Ask Curt Schilling, Don Imus or Rush how it worked out. She's an embarrassment to her employer...you're fired.

    She is free to say it.. She is also free to get fired for saying it.

    Her job is to protect the President and she admitted to not wanting to do that based on her political beliefs. She's not qualified.

    The freedom to say what you want doesn't free you from the consequences of your words. If I openly say that I'm not willing to perform my job duties, my employer has every right to let me go. It is in no way a violation of my 1st Amendment rights.

    Why would anyone be that stupid to take a bullet for Trump? He isn't even a legitimate president.

    Doesn't have to be a liberal activist to oppose trump, maybe she's just a constitutional conservative

    Dereliction of duty isn't protected by the 1st amendment.

    Irrelevant dance step. 1st Amendment rights don't come from a Government or Non government job.

    You can't fire someone from a govt job for not liking the president.

    Government retaliation against government employee speech violates the First Amendment if:

    1. the speech is on a matter of public concern, and

    2. the speech is not said by the employee as part of the employee’s job duties, Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410 (2006), and

    3. the damage caused by the speech to the efficiency of the government agency’s operation does not outweigh the value of the speech to the employee and the public (the so-called Pickering balance). Connick v. Myers (1983) (p. 567).

    An employer can fire someone who states she/he wont do their job in this case the Government is her employer with the President as her ultimate boss..

    Your games are amusing but i know you are doing this for fun and dont actually believe the nonsense you have been posting.

    Nor should it be allowed to ... she lacks the emotional capacity to fulfill her duties effectively.

    That's funny...

    ...because each State's Certificates of Vote were duly solicited by and delivered to the Office of the Federal Register whereby they were unsealed during a joint session of Congress by the President of the Senate (that was Joe Biden btw) and read aloud then entered into the Official Journals of both the House and Senate thus recording and ratifying the election results and confirming for the final measure the next US President.

    Please ...tell us what evidence you have that overrules all of that.

    Go ahead.

    We'll wait.
