VPs usually get 6 months protection but Harris was also Trump’s election opponent and therefore, in his eyes, an enemy on which to exact revenge. President Biden knew this and gave extended protection. She is in danger. This is not the America we hold dear. #WeAreAmerica

President Trump has revoked the Secret Service detail for former vice president Kamala Harris, extended by President Biden, about a month before Harris is scheduled to embark on a national book tour.

Although we have sympathy for the plight of DC’s restaurants, for those of us who live elsewhere, we are far more concerned with the strangling of our Republic founded as a rejection of rule by kings, dictators or tyrants. Trump’s campaign to install himself as sole ruler is an existential threat.
