The Secret Service scandal has not been without its politics including from ex-vp candidate Sarah Palin.
The Washington Post reported that David Chaney, one of two supervisors ousted this week in the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia, posted a Facebook photo of Palin in Janaury 2009 that said; “I was really checking her out, if you know what i (sic) mean?.” Chaney helped protect her in the 2008 presidential campaign.
On Thursday, on Fox news, Palin said the joke is on Chaney.
“Well, check this out, buddy — you’re fired!” Palin said, according to the Associated Press.
Then Palin weighed in.
“It’s like, who’s minding the store around here?” Palin told Fox. “The president, for one, he better be wary, there, of when Secret Service is accompanying his family on vacation. They may be checking out the first lady instead of guarding her.”
The White House on Thursday expressed support for Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan.
