Yesterday at the end of the graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy, President Biden took a nasty spill on stage:

The White House later said that Biden tripped over a small sandbag that was on the stage.
President Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell as he completed handing out diplomas at the US Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado. He appeared fine afterward, walking without assistance to his seat in the stands. https://t.co/PBJZayPWp0

When he returned to the White House, Biden downplayed his faceplant by saying he “got sandbagged”:

All this culminated in “Secret Service” trending on Twitter. Part of the reason was empathy for those who were around Biden yesterday:
The look on this Secret Service man’s face is priceless. He’s like you fell again?!🤣😂 pic.twitter.com/GAdeZsjcTK

Mostly though it seems that “Secret Service” is trending because Biden fans are blaming his security detail for failing to protect the president from that assault sandbag:
The fall happened because the Secret Service left a sandbag obstructing the path he would have to take. What's up with the Secret Service? Small errors on their part have become all too common. https://t.co/XdZItv7dvA

Press inquired how President Biden was feeling after his fall and his response was “I got sandbagged!”
Even thought the Secret Service was asleep at the wheel, he made fun of it.
And this is why we love you, Joe! 💙#ResistanceUnited#DemVoice1#wtpBLUEpic.twitter.com/MJIh394u56

The Secret Service is supposed to protect the president. They didn’t. Heads need to roll.

1. It wasn't massive
2. He tripped over a sand bag that wasn't supposed to be there.
3. Total failure on the secret service
4. Joe Biden got right back on his feet and continued his job
5. Person, woman, man, camera TV pic.twitter.com/4UnlQ3dghm

Pissed the Secret Service failed to do their job in clearing a path for President Biden? Some are so corrupt and incompetent that they were easily bribed and duped by federal agent impostors in 2022. https://t.co/ywyu5maR1L

Is the once highly vaunted Secret Service now filled with Trump loyalists who need to be purged.
Me: sure looks like it..— David W Pippy (@DWPippy) June 2, 2023

What purpose was a Sandbag left in the center of a stage in the way of the President's exitz,?Secret service guys with any President sweep the stage area for devices ..gimme a break. It was put there for exactly what happend https://t.co/Trt86oPZ46

The real reason can’t be that Biden’s 80-years-old and getting frail.
The left is delusional, but they never cease to amaze me. This is really the story they are going to run with now. The secret service sandbagged him. Unbelievable. Another satire article come true. https://t.co/77w6NRx7oJ

The left blaming Biden’s fall on the Secret Service and not white supremacy, Russia, or Trump…
is rather surprising. https://t.co/zRXcdH4xNQ— Establishment Eradicator (@wheresourLOGIC) June 2, 2023
Maybe they’ll get to that eventually.
