Has the Secret Service Gone Insane?
Remember when the Secret Service was the elite of the elite? It was the one government agency everybody could agree on. Those brave men and women put their bodies on the line to protect the president, and therefore the stability of the free world.
But somewhere along the way, the agency seems to have lowered its standards a bit.
A U.S. Secret Service agent with Vice President Kamala Harris’ detail was removed from their assignment after engaging in a physical fight with other agents while on duty Monday…
Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, called the incident a “medical matter,” adding that the agency wouldn’t be commenting further.
A medical matter… that caused a physical fight between Secret Service agents? Wait, what?
All we were told at first was that the agent was acting “erratically.” But thanks to Susan Crabtree at Real Clear Politics, now we know some specifics:
[Secret Service agent Michelle] Herczeg showed up at the [Joint Base Andrews] terminal and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The other agent, a shift leader, was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened.
But Herczeg’s bizarre behavior didn’t stop. She then began mumbling to herself, hid behind curtains, and started throwing items, including menstrual pads, at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent and telling her peers that they were “going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God,” a source told RealClearPolitics.
Okay, whaaaaaat the hell? Why is a Secret Service agent behaving like this?
And how did somebody like this even make the cut? I was under the impression their physical and mental fitness screening was second to none.
Everybody’s fixated on the “throwing menstrual pads” part, which is admittedly funny. But the weirdest thing to me is the first thing she did. And the reaction of the fellow agent she did it to.
Okay, so she grabbed a colleague’s phone, at work, and started deleting apps from it.
Who does that? Was she drunk? Having some sort of psychotic fit? Got some bad acid?
But this next part really tells the tale, I think: After she started messing with his phone like a total nut, he just pretended it never happened.
Here’s my theory: That other agent knew there was no upside to confronting this woman. It probably wasn’t the first time she had done something like this. And he knew he was better off keeping his mouth shut.
Why? DEI, that’s why.
This woman was a diversity hire. They knew about her psychological problems, and they let her into the Secret Service anyway.
They had a quota to fill, and they knew what would happen to them if they didn’t.
The elite of the elite? LOL!
Look, man, if you want to let the president of the United States get assassinated because you were scared of being blackballed as a bigot, be my guest.
But you can’t make us turn a blind eye. We see you.
P.S. Okay, I was right: Herczeg used to be a cop in Dallas, and in 2016 she sued the department for $1 million over “gender bias.” And then she blackmailed her way into the Secret Service.
I am not a big fan of 2024 so far, but things are looking up:
That may or may not be a joke. Apparently The Onion was just sold to Ben Collins from MSNBC, so this seems more plausible than it would’ve been a week ago. It’s not funny either way, of course, because it’s The Onion after 2001. But let’s say it’s real.
So… all I need to do is nothing, and they’ll shut up for good?
Whew! Done.
Finally.
