Michelle Obama's former Secret Service agent says she 'could do nothing' when witnessing racist slurs directed at the former first lady
Insider ^ | May 19, 2021 | Mikhaila Friel

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."

Is she the one who wasn’t strong enough to close the door on the limo?

What should the SS agent have done? Stomped the dissenting protester?

Confiscated the signed?

Doxxed him or her to their employer?

Was this something uniquely that happened only to 44 and family?

Do you really think that hot, young babe is gonna get between Michelle and a gun? More likely it was a man and she was there just for window dressing. Next, she ‘protected’ Bush 41’ all the way to B.O. The earlier 2 POTUS had to be out of office and Michelle is not as important as Barak. Let’s just say she’s like Colin Powell-Affirmative Action hire. Now she can go out and peddle her looks. Nice work if you can get it.

On 8/6/16 (I recall the date because it's my Mom's birthday) I attended a Trump rally at a small high school gym in new Hampshire. When it was over I made a bee line to the door because I had a long drive home. The Secret Service had the doors sealed so that "candidate" Trump could have an easy,safe getaway.

Being one of the first to arrive at the door I found myself within a couple of feet of one of the Agents guarding it. I caught his attention and asked him if the stories about ILLary being abusive to agents were true. He didn't say a word...didn't nod or shake his head...but he did smile very broadly as if to say "you bet your sweet a$$ they're true".

And I wager everything I own that Osama Obama and his wide bodied bride are every bit as bad...if not worse.

Uh, ear plugs/blind fold. Secret service inventiveness lacking. Not much problem solving there. How about protecting citizens from “their” racis’ screeds and proclamations? Or a load of 🐂💨💩

Publisher Atria Books is owned by Simon & Schuster

Hillary Clinton Inks Book Deal With Simon & Schuster

Multimillion-dollar post-White House literary contracts are expected after each four to eight-year term, and despite her recent loss, Clinton’s advance is still expected to be massive, though financial terms have not been disclosed. She is represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett; whose client roster includes former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

The Clintons have already earned well over $23 million cumulative for previous books. Bill Clinton collected a $15 million advance for his post-presidency memoir, My Life, and the then-Senator Clinton obtained an $8 million book deal with Simon & Schuster for her own memoir.

“...an upsetting part of her previous job was not being able to protect Michelle Obama from racist slurs or signs while on duty.”


Even racist signs and slurs are protected by the First Amendment in the Constitution the agent swore an oath to uphold. While the First Amendment might be a mystery to a Brit like Prince Harry, it shouldn’t be to any American.

Ok, I bit. I looked her up and not only should she never be in a position to protect anyone, I wouldn’t want that thing near me on a good day. Her attitude is all over her face. I’d just end up wrecking her for life. People that think they’re tough, think they did the end all be all, then they meet a Dirty Cowboy (trademarked) and it’s game over.

What are the racist signs? List them and who did them, or it didn’t happen.

this smells like a smollett

In the 8 years that Obama was president I never saw even the slightest racial insult directed at him...from anyone.

As someone already mentioned, the MSM would have been on it like stink on crap. How perfect for them if they could get a photo of an old white man holding a sign with the N word on it. That would be gold to them.

I wonder how she felt when watching hateful, psycho inspired insults at Trump or his family.
