      A senior Secret Service official briefed on the planning for the Wisconsin rally said the agency was “never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected.” The official was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

      “Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,” the official said. “This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”

      Seems like a reasonable justification based on check notes literally everything happening right now.

      Weird how OP’s article misses out on this key piece of information. Might be a bit of bias there 🤔.

      Now is probably the best time to try counterfeiting US bills.

        Nothing weird about it. This is propaganda. You don’t accidentally accuse the current president of enabling political violence against their rival who has already had two (maybe three if the talk of Iran’s plans are true) attempts on their life. OP is calling this evidence of Biden’s danger to democracy in other comments in this post.
