An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris‘s protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning.
The incident occurred at the Washington, D.C.-area Andrews Air Force Base, before Harris arrived, and after the agent suffered what the Secret Service has characterized as a medical incident. The Washington Examiner is aware of the agent’s name and specific detail responsibilities but is withholding those details for privacy reasons.
The Washington Examiner understands that the agent became aggressive with other agents. When the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor attempted to calm the agent, a physical altercation ensued. The agent was handcuffed before being withdrawn from service for medical assessment. Harris was scheduled to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base after the incident.
In a statement, Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told the Washington Examiner, “At approximately 9 a.m. April 22, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing. The agent was removed from their assignment while medical personnel were summoned. The Vice President was at the Naval Observatory when this incident occurred and there was no impact on her departure from Joint Base Andrews. The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously. As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details.”
All Secret Service agents are armed while on domestic protective duty. But as with their Diplomatic Security Service counterparts, agents assigned to protective details endure heavy travel burdens, often working long hours away from home. The psychological health of armed agents serving in very close proximity to high-ranking government officials and foreign heads of state is thus a high-priority concern for the Secret Service.
Moreover, the Vice Presidential Protective Division is widely regarded within the Secret Service as the second most prestigious assignment after the Presidential Protective Division. Because of the continuity of government protocols, VPD agents are party to exceptionally sensitive planning on responses to nuclear war and catastrophic terrorist attacks or environmental disasters. Agents must serve in field offices for a minimum of three years and receive excellent performance reports before going to VPD. They must also then pass the intensive Protective Detail Training course at the Secret Service’s James J. Rowley training facility in the DC suburbs.
The Washington Examiner is unaware of the agent’s current status. The Vice President’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
In his semi lucid VP days, Biden treated SS like crap.
At one time, he pointed to them and warned one of the kids about not achieving in life or you’ll end up like them.
I suspect more of the same here.
So, Harris draws the worst out in people or only the worst agents assigned to her detail? DEI hires?
Pimps fighting over property?
Diabetic seizures.
testosterone, adderral, cocaine and molly......
Who cares?
Gentlemen! There is no fighting in the war room!
Possibility is like the Jill Biden’s dog Commander bite cases and the mysterious appearance of cocaine in the white House cubby, we will not be allowed to hear the full, true story.
We are merely the lowly subjects of the ruling elite. The slave class for them.
"Her departure is referring to Kamala Harris, NOT the agent. Yes?
Well, I guess so
You can’t get it, can you?
The agent was referred to as ‘their’ while ‘heels up’ was referred to as her.
Maybe that was his cocaine at the WH
My boss left work one afternoon … remembers leaving … next thing he remembers is wrestling two cops next to his crashed truck 30 miles south of the office … fortunately one of the officers saw his medic alert bracelet and figured out what was happening … got emts rolling and were able to subdue him without too much of an issue … could have worked out very poorly .. hope this was the case with the agent …
Where is the photo of the offending agent? Hm?...I wonder why?
The Coulter Rule
drove him over the edge, quite understandable, poor guy.
I’m trying to think of a worse detail in the United State Secret Service than protecting Kamala Harris.
But I can’t...
So a diabetic subject to seizures and drunk-like behavior is allowed to guard the V.P.?
Ohhhh. I thought the writer goofed and called the agent by her proper gender.
Well, under the new ‘journalistic’ woke idiocy we’ll never know will we?
