The former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras says an upsetting part of her previous job was not being able to protect Michelle Obama from racist slurs or signs while on duty.

Poumpouras served on the presidential protective division for the first lady and President Barack Obama during their time at the White House. She also protected George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush during her 12 years in the Secret Service.

Writing in her 2020 memoir, "Becoming Bulletproof," Poumpouras recalled feeling "outraged" when seeing a racist sign directed at the first lady......

Poumpouras wrote. "I was on her protective detail when we were driving to a school to deliver a speech; we passed someone on a bridge holding up a shockingly racist sign directed at her."

Not going to say it didn't happen, but why didn't the MSM publish photos as it would enhance the racial divide. Or at least I never saw evidence here on FR.

Also would not be surprised if actors were used.

Yep. In case you forgot, she’s still a victim.

I will say it for you - it didnt happen. Everyone has a camera now and a “racist sign” would be splattered over all media and the virtue mob would be marching.

One, female have no business in that job.
Two, rules by her emotions the simpleton could easily be distracted from the right on the grassy knoll with a few inflammatory signs.
Three, last I checked it’s not a crime to say something racist. BLM thrives on that very idea.

[elpadre]

was she equally outraged when the First Lady made her frequent racist comments??

Remember, logic, reason, and math are all racist, according to Critical Race Theory.

So any sign which used logic, reason or math, which Michell might have disagreed with, would be "shockingly racist".

She was low quality and was in that position because of her sex.

[Skywise]

The words… oh the words hurt soooo baddddd

Give me a freaking break - where was the secret service to defend US from Moochelle’s hate speech?

[corkoman]

So any sign which used logic, reason or math, which Michell might have disagreed with, would be "shockingly racist".

Whoa - your comment is shockingly racists.

And qualifies as infrastructure.

[Az Joe]

Exactly. Where is the proof?

I’m only surprised that some reporters didn’t make racist signs themselves and hung them in her path.

Beat me to it. Any "racist" signs directed against Michelle Obama would have been widely reported both in the MSM and on social media. I never heard a word about it in eight years.

[mass55th]

That wasn’t your job moron.

[DesertRhino]

Look her up online. See if that is what you want to be the last thing between the President and an assassin. Total bimbo.

[PROCON]

I dream of a day when Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Megan Markle are no longer oppressed.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

DITTO never happened!! Every damn department of our government had been filled with emotional KARENS!!!

[riri]

I don’t know who has time or bandwidth to worry about this crap with gas going up, food going up, etc.

[silverleaf]

Oh no....8 years of guarding the Queen and helpless against a peasant holding a racist sign

The horror

[SuperLuminal]

The truth is out there...

Who cares what an SS zoo keeper says?

Seriously, do they tell everybody the route of a motorcade will take so people can be along on it to cheer or jeer (or worse)? I thought the Secret Service never gave out the routes of motorcades so bad operators couldn't lay a trap.

[BipolarBob]

yeah and Hillary was under sniper fire in Bosnia.
