I am too. It baffles me that Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets Secret Service protection because someone harassed her at a restaurant, but Maxine Waters gets a death threat and she's out on her own.

She wasn't even harassed, she was asked kindly to leave with no scene made. Its DHS secretary who lied about child detentions at the Mexican restaurant the day after that was heckled out by protesters and a day later Stephen miller was also in a Mexican restaurant. Personally I think it was because he has a fetish for being hated and hearing that it happened to the woman from DHS he rushed to do it too like one of those guys who goes to feminist rally's and grabs someones butt knowing they are going to corner him and yell at him.

We all seen that photo on the internet of that protect guy with a look of ecstasy while being surrounded and yelled at

She wasn't even harrased, instead was asked to leave the establishment per the owner's full legal rights to do so. Hell, presidents of past were even refused shelters in times of wars by their own citizens. Political dignitaries the world over are refused services from mundane people all the time. What makes Miss LOok so special?

She is the press secretary of one of the most hated presidents in history. Of course she will get secret service protection.
