The quote was “"There is a difference between the sitting president and continuity of government and the responsibility we have."
Meaning, there is a difference between
Protecting a sitting president and the continuity of government that goes along with it, versus
The responsibility we have to protect Trump
Cheatle is saying that because Trump isn’t president, we aren’t under the highest obligation to protect him. He isn’t a priority. And this is exactly what the congressman questioning her was trying to get her to admit.
The implication being that they would never use this logic to justify lax protection for say, Barack Obama. It points to a double standard and lack of caring about protecting Trump’s life
