Secret Service Scuffle Prompts DEI, Vetting Scrutiny
Real Clear Politics ^ | 04 25 2024 | Susan Crabtree

An incident involving a physical attack by a female Secret Service agent tasked with protecting Vice President Kamala Harris is raising questions about whether the agency had thoroughly vetted her during her hiring and whether an ongoing push to increase the numbers of women in the service and boost overall workforce staff played a role in her selection.

The Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris was removed from her duties Wednesday after physically attacking the commanding agent in charge and other agents trying to subdue her, according to an agency spokesman and knowledgeable Secret Service sources.

Several sources in the Secret Service community identified the agent who physically attacked her superior as Michelle Herczeg. The altercation occurred at approximately 9 a.m. at Joint Base Andrews, the home base for Air Force One and Air Force Two, the call signs of the Boeing aircraft used by the president and vice president. Harris was at the U.S. Naval Observatory at the time of the incident, and it did not delay her travel, said agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Herczeg showed up at the 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.

Her issue seems to be the other agent’s phone - what was on it that set her off?

>> I knew a member of the Secret Service. A very careful, thoughtful, and kind federal agent... The agent was, for a time, on President Reagan’s detail.

Older “state” employees, raised with a patriotic Judeo-Christian world view, are giving way to a younger generation, largely post-Christian and raised by the pack of progressive wolves that has collectively become our higher education system.

The same is true in essentially every industry and institution, sadly including the church itself.

I recently heard an anecdote from a graduating high school senior in our rural community. She said the older teachers, the ones she considers trusted mentors, are all retiring — and they are being replaced by young teachers right out of school. The old guard was rejecting attempts to push CRT, DIE, and Alphabetism into the classroom — but the new ones are woke, and all over the possibilities of indoctrinating the kiddos in their progressive cancer. Overall depressing news to me...

I hope so. I hope there are still good people out there. If there aren’t we are lost.

Could possibly be. It's not like they have a squeaky clean history, especially of late:

Secret Service Scandal

The Secret Service has been involved in several scandals over the years, including allegations of misconduct, abuse of power, and mismanagement. Here are some of the most notable ones:

Cartagena Scandal (2012): During President Obama’s trip to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas, several Secret Service agents were accused of hiring prostitutes and engaging in other inappropriate behavior. The scandal led to the resignation of several agents and raised questions about the agency’s culture and accountability.

White House Intruder (2014): In September 2014, a man named Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence and made it into the executive mansion. The incident raised concerns about the Secret Service’s ability to protect the president and his family.

Alleged Misconduct in El Salvador, Panama, China, and Romania (2012): A Homeland Security investigation found that Secret Service agents had hired prostitutes in several countries, including El Salvador, Panama, China, and Romania, years before the Cartagena scandal.

Drunken Behavior and Misconduct (2004-2012): The Secret Service has faced allegations of drunken behavior and misconduct by its agents, including incidents in Amsterdam, Colombia, and other locations.

Text Message Scandal (2022): The Secret Service was accused of deleting text messages related to the January 6 insurrection, sparking a criminal investigation and raising concerns about the agency’s transparency and accountability. Accountability and Funding Issues: The Secret Service has faced criticism for its lack of accountability and funding issues, which have led to concerns about its ability to effectively protect the president and his family.

Note: The only scandal during Trump, actually happened after he had left office, and it involved the claim that text messages from JJ6 were deleted.

These scandals have led to calls for greater accountability and reform within the Secret Service, as well as increased scrutiny of the agency’s culture and practices.

I’d like to hear her version of events. Was the phone she grabbed being used “inappropriately” to look at porn or take pics of her in some offensive way? What “apps” did she delete and why? Pending more info, I wonder if she reacted to sort sort of provocation, and the bullies characterized that as “erratic”.

My guess: This guy was given a pass at every point in his career where he demonstrated he didn’t have the temperament for the job. Because reasons.

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.
