They have been termed as "fumbleinas", mockingly. The problem as I see it and as most might see it is not that they are women. It's that they were women who had some trouble staying collected under the pressure of the situation. Possibly they were rookies? I can't say I know the whole story. But if they were rookies, why would they be assigned to DJT given his place as the GOP nominee? Anyway, the entire incident has a lot of questions already around it. "Were the Secret Service agents rookies?" is just one.
