They were tasked with getting him into easy bike peddling range of where he was going. Protecting him is secondary.

The “staff” in the suit on the left bends over showing two “devices” on his belt at his left hip. Neither appear to be firearms. But since most people are right handed it would interesting to know if his “staff” that escort him to the “bike implementation point” are armed for his sole protection. He sure doesn’t want granma Jane who live alone to have one. The late Teddy Kennedy’s bodyguards carried Uzi’s and he was a staunch opponent of ordinary people having arms.
One piece looks like a radio, the other looks like a double mag carrier. Would be around 30 rounds of 9mm or.40 for a glock or sig sauer. Does the SecofTrans really rate this kind of protection? I mean he has nothing to fear from pantyfa and is a big supporter of Black Lies Matter, so what is he being protected from? Muggers?

Pete is the prototype of everything fake. Even his departure from the race was constructed by being offered a job he is unqualified for. When will Democrats wake-up and realize their political party is utter fake — from being run by billionaire oligarchs to being staffed by incompetent poseurs?

“Butt Edge Edge” definitely validated Tucker Carlson portrayal: he is an even shallower “Beto” O’Rourke.
Plenty of Republicans that claim to be on “the right” and conservatives are just as bad. Time to realize that this is the people against the DC elite uniparty. Until that fact is recognized by many more people they will continue to divide us with partisanship.
The Left can only be sustained by lies. The truth of its history cannot be accommodated by anyone but a sociopath.

As a principle, a Cabinet level executive, he gets at least a three car security escort. I suspect they aren’t amused by this theater making their job harder. I bet the lead car and the two full sized, up armored suburbans (a giant SUV for the brits) follow him all the way. If those suburbans get 10mpg I’d be surprised.
They used to call those armored Suburbans “Armadillos”. Saw quite a few back in my days in SF. It’s not just cabinet members that get them. In foreign lands where there is potential for ambush, diplomats and flag officers get hauled around in them also though they were not necessarily black.
The drivers of those things go to a school out at Cherry Point run by Langley where they are trained to recognize threats and to maneuver to avoid them or get out of bad situations. Or at least they used to.
The guy holding the camera has clear sight-lines to the elected official the secret service is tasked to protect. Great job, guys.
It wouldn’t be possible to prevent.

That’s Robert Francis O’Rourke to you.
Just pathetic, but what else do you expect from the left? Lies and fraud are its staple.

Please please! Armadildos for The SECRETARY of Transportation.

More Potemkin Village life but this time it’s with bikes.
Likely not the only thing he fakes.
