The GOP is wrong to involve the US Secret Service as partisan props in its new campaign ad for Donald Trump.
The ad might look good, but the GOP should not be enveloping the Secret Service in partisan politics. Just as Presidentwas wrong to use U.S. Marine sentries as props during his darkly partisan 2022 speech in Philadelphia, Trump is wrong to present those who protect him as political operatives.
Sometimes the agency falls short of its necessarily high standards. That was the case when various agents cavorted with prostitutes in Colombia in 2012. It was the case when Omar Gonzalez breached the inner sanctum of the White House in 2014. It was the case when a confused intruder broke into national security adviser Jake Sullivan’s home undetected last year. And it was obviously the case when John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.
