Eric Trump defends his father's security team women.

Donald Trump was on the verge of losing his life this Saturday in an attack that has shaken the American nation and has called into question the Secret Service's management, particularly the role of women on the team guarding the former president.

Amid criticism and questioning, Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, came to the defense of the women of the Secret Service who are part of that team.

In a recent interview with MSNBC, Eric Trump praised the professionalism of the Secret Service agents and confessed that, in particular, one of the women who is the target of criticism has worked with him for a long time.

"They are the best people," he stated. However, he acknowledged that something fractured in the security of this event, that "there was some failure." He warned that they must investigate what happened and that "they better get to the bottom of this."

At least three women in the team protecting the former president on the day of the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania can be seen in the images. One of them is mocked for appearing nervous, dazed, and unable to holster her weapon.

Another woman, very visible as she acted as a human shield for Trump when leaving the rally, in the midst of chaos grabbed one of the politician's shoes and threw it far from the stage. Everything was captured by witnesses and the videos are causing laughter on social media.

The director of the United States Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, acknowledged responsibility on Monday for the actions of the team that protected Trump, but stated that she will remain in her position. She has been summoned to testify on July 22nd regarding this case.

Critics on social media, especially from reactionary influencers, have pointed to the women of the Secret Service and inclusion policies as possible causes of security failures.

These misogynistic speeches have amplified the controversy and have served as a platform for extremist ideologies.

Be true or not, some internet users have noticed that none of the women from the security team were present at Trump's appearance at the Republican National Convention.

The attacker, who nearly killed the former president on Saturday, was a 20-year-old man identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. He shot from the rooftop of a building about 140 meters from the stage where the politician was. The agents responded immediately and the shooter died on the spot. Next to him, an AR-15 type rifle was found.

The Secret Service, now under intense scrutiny, faces the possibility of significant reform. The dedication of its agents has never been in question, but recent events have made it clear that substantial improvements are needed to ensure security and prevent future failures.
