The Spin

Right narrative

Cheatle's evasive testimony is enough to get her fired if she refuses to step down. But her incompetence in the leadup to the near-assassination of Trump would've had her gone days ago had it not been for the Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) policies that landed her in her job and caused her to attempt to protect Trump with a less-competent security detail. Unfortunately, under Democrats, DEI has become more important than safety, and that must change.

PJ Media

Left narrative

Americans are all under threat of being attacked by someone armed with an AR-15 as long as Republicans continue to prevent strict gun regulations from being passed. Even after Trump, who's one of the most-protected people in the country, was shot with essentially a weapon of war, Republicans would rather talk about DEI instead of what would've best prevented this incident — tighter gun control.
