Of course she should have gotten protection.

Why? What specific threat was there to Judi?

I guess I will post more s l o w l y.

Protection details are there to provide security for VIPs that, if they were targeted, would compromise the executive.

The Secret Service, for example, provides security not just for the POTUS, but members of the family and ANYONE that, were they targeted, would interfere with the executive’s ability to do his job.

The President’s daughters get SS protection not because their lives matter to the country. They don’t. They get proection because getting to the family is a way to get to the President.

Same for any Governor, or in this case a Mayor. The minute that the Mayor of NYC has a girlfriend, married or not, that girlfriend damn well better be getting a security detail. Anything less would be a dereliction of their duty to protect the Mayor from threats that may interfere with the ability to do his job.
