@jonallendc Secret Service wasn't responsible for pres safety until 1902. Garfield, McKinley thought a security detail too monarchical. -
@HappyBerkowitz point still holds, though. Worse things have happened in history of presidential protection (Ford, too).

@jonallendc Great point, though the political/media environment is much different today. Also, none involved failing to protect White House. -
@JimPuzzanghera I think we agree on your first point. On the second, seems like POTUS matters more than a bldg of unelecteds and reporters. - 1 more reply

@jonallendc@AdamSerwer Well, neither Garfield nor McKinley was protected by the Secret Service. That started under Theodore Roosevelt. -
@jonallendc@AdamSerwer Also, Kennedy and Reagan had both refused Secret Service recommendations that would have prevented their shootings.

Because those happened in spite of the agency doing its best, not as is the case today, due to relaxed standards.
