On his radio show April 16, Dennis Prager said: “The Secret Service has a wonderful reputation for protecting the president and going after counterfeiters… I think every high school kid, if they read, picks a crime that fascinates them. For most, it’s murder. Not for me. I read book after book about counterfeiters.”
“My wife was into crime. She definitely read the crime books, the murder books. She still is.”
“The poor Secret Service… For myriad reasons, I want this president healthy, well.”
“Do you know why this all came out? It’s like a comedy routine. Because this guy haggled about price. Everything is going smoothly and then he thinks he’s being over-charged.”
“I can’t say I lost a great deal of sleep over it.”
On his show April 23, Dennis said: “I tend to be of the opinion that if people do a great job, we shouldn’t bother to find out about their private lives. However, in this case, when you’re on duty on behalf of the United States government and especially to protect the president of the United States, you have to realize that you are representing America.”
“I spoke about this at my synagogue this past Saturday, the concept of representing something higher and therefore being held to a higher standard. I used this as one example.”
“When you wear the symbols of something higher, you are expected to do better because you bring down what you are representing. You don’t only bring down yourself. It’s a bad thing.”
