“...the Secret Service could have moved her”
That’s a lot easier said than done if no alternative locale had been prepared for that sizable party.
Also, if the SS were to move the Obama party to another location, it leaves in place at the original hotel all its other guests and hotel staff, who could become inadvertent victims if there were an attack intended for the daughter of the POTUS. Those guests/staff would have NO SS protection.
There was no need for that kind of detail in the story. Nice way to put a lot of people at risk unnecessarily.
Someone made the point earlier...Twitter, Facebook are part of our lives a guest could have tweeted how cool it was to see MAO. The risk is simply with being the daughter of the POTUS.
I am a father and there is NO FN WAY I would have sent my 13 yr old kid to Mexico during a period of time when the State Dept was warning against traveling there. Bad parenting. Bad decisions. Bad POTUS.
That being said - It is still a violation of the first amendment for this administration to abuse its power to ask politely or forcefully for many news organizations to pull a story that he found objectionable.
We are dealing with a dictator, it’s time people recognized that.
BTW - There were plenty of stories about the Bush twins about where they partied and drank....none of them were as flattering as this story about MAO.
