How long will it be for the republicons to suggest there no longer be security for ex-Presidents

now that we have a black man as President. I'm not blind by any stretch of the imagination and what I see is they have two problems with this President. 1 he is a Democratic President. 2 he is a black man, to them no. 2 is a BIG problem.

for presidents inaugurated after January 1, 1997. President Obama signed legislation reinstating lifetime Secret Service protection for himself, George W. Bush, and all subsequent presidents.
So that whole routine has already been played out.
