(ConservativeJournal.org) – Various inside sources have revealed that President Joe Biden and his wife’s two-year-old German shepherd, Commander, has bitten more people at the White House than what has previously been said. The dog has since been kicked out of the White House.
While the US Secret Service has said that there have been over 10 incidents involving its own members, it is suggested that the actual number is higher, including residence staff and other White House workers.
While the first family is actively seeking solutions to address this ongoing issue, Commander is not present at the White House anymore. Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady’s communications director, expressed their concern for the safety of White House staff and Secret Service personnel and acknowledged the patience and support they have received. She stated that Commander is not on the White House campus while they assess the next steps.
It remains uncertain whether there is an official tally of these biting incidents, as US Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi informed CNN that an exact number does not exist. While DC-area medical facilities have to report people who have been treated for dog bites to the Department of Health in DC, the White House Medical Unit, being under federal jurisdiction, is not bound by the same reporting requirements.
This situation has brought tension between Biden and the Secret Service. It is suggested that the relationship initially soured when the family’s older dog, Major, caused an injury to an unnamed Secret Service agent before having to be moved to Delaware permanently.
While the Bidens had enjoyed a positive relationship with the Secret Service during the vice presidency, the Major incident caused early challenges for the first couple upon moving into the White House. Not including the Bidens’ apparent tendencies for sudden trips, this situation laid the groundwork for a tense relationship with the Secret Service. Despite this, Guglielmi refuted reports of any tension between the Secret Service and the Bidens.
