Secret Service agent spills the beans on DEI

Agent confirms DEI contributed to near-killing of Trump

A Secret Service agent is for the first time publicly speaking out against the agency's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which he says contributed to the first assassination attempt against President Trump last summer.

A 13-year veteran of the agency who has served in an elite unit and top protective assignments, Rashid Ellis sat down for an interview with the Independent Women's Forum, a Virginia-based conservative nonprofit.

Ellis is a graduate of The Citadel, a prestigious military college in South Carolina. Ellis has served on the Secret Service's Counter Assault Team, an elite unit that provides tactical support to the president of the United States.

IWF is in the process of making a documentary, titled "Qualifications, Not Quotas," about Ellis's experience and released an explanation of the documentary and a trailer Thursday providing a snapshot of his experience and concerns.

"My initial thoughts when seeing the Butler assassination attempt was dread," Ellis states solemnly in the trailer. "My stomach was in knots watching it because we had known for years that this was coming."
