Vice President Kamala Harris endured a minor inconvenience on her way to the White House when the SUV transporting her clipped a curb with enough force to blow a tire.
Harris was transported to a secondary vehicle in the motorcade. Inexplicably, the accident was initially described as a “mechanical failure.” The Washington Post corrected the record, bringing considerable embarrassment to the vice president, who's already experienced a staff exodus and her fair share of gaffes.
Regarding the Secret Service, stopping a motorcade unexpectedly is a big no-no when it comes to mobile VIP protection.
The Washington Post further reports:
Harris had to be transferred to another vehicle in the motorcade so agents could safely spirit her to the White House. The routine nature of the travel and the high level of training required for agents who drive the president and vice president led many in the Secret Service, as well as Harris, to question how such an accident could happen.
However, a spokesman for the Secret Service said no disciplinary action is expected.
The Secret Service also failed to note key details of the incident in an electronic message formally alerting senior leadership to the motorcade's delay. The agency's protective intelligence division reported that “a mechanical failure” in the lead car had forced agents to transfer Harris to another vehicle during a scheduled movement to the White House, according to details of the alert shared with The Washington Post.
By Monday afternoon, Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle received information from other agents that the alert did not accurately convey what happened, one of the people said. In fact, many other Secret Service agents on Harris's detail and at the White House, as well as Harris, knew her driver had actually hit the side pavement of a tunnel.
A spokeswoman for the vice president said Harris is grateful for all the Secret Service does to keep her safe.

Who Voted for this person????
Not me!
That’s easy to do since she does nothing but lie.
Why are we taxpayers paying for a motorcade (are they electric?) to haul Kamala around? She hasn’t done a thing for this country in the nearly two years she has been in office so she is not an important or essential person even though the thinks she is. The entire Biden administration is like watching the Keystone Kops.
The driver bypassing a Popeye’s after the Vice President told him she wanted a chicken sandwich was the real cause of the accident, forcing her to try to wrestle away the steering wheel and striking the curb. The white driver failed to understand the draw that a Popeye’s chicken sandwich has on a POC. This incident was totally avoidable.
How is this news? A Secret Service agent/driver clips a curb and blows out a tire and this somehow reflects badly on VP Harris? She’s an idiot but not because of anything like this.
A blown tire??? The entire country and its economy under Trump has been blown!!! And Harris no doubt has bl_____ half the country!!
She is and always has been a “FRIGGIN LIAR” and knows nothing about our country except how to ruin it Just like OBO,CLINTON, and BIDEN AND his SON “HUNTER” the “COMMIE”
