An official working in President Donald Trump’s administration was physically assaulted by a “deranged leftist” during a United Nations (U.N.) gathering on Thursday, according to sources.
The official — who works in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — was acting in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy during the General Assembly when the assault occurred, according to Fox News Digital.
“An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the U.N. who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told the outlet.
“Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the U.N. after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.”
The official explained what happened in a statement to the outlet. She said she was walking down a hallway when the individual began beating her and shining a light in her face.
“Once I took a step back and regained my footing, it didn’t stop. I realized what was happening. I realized I was being yelled at and that the light was also a recording device,” the official said.
The individual was allegedly screaming pro-Palestinian comments and calling the official a “Nazi” and a “fascist.”
The official claimed she tried to escape into a bathroom stall, but the individual followed her and put a camera over the door to continue filming the official and screaming at her.
The official was eventually able to get away after 10 minutes of the assault, according to the outlet.
The United States Secret Service will look into the incident to determine how the individual was allowed access into such a high-profile event, Kelly told the outlet.
The outlet also learned that the individual was released from custody on Friday night. The person, however, was charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. That person is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 13.
A U.N. spokesperson addressed the situation in a statement to the outlet, expressing outrage and asking how the U.N. can continue to position itself as the world’s diplomatic center when incidents like this occur at its own events.
“We are outraged that a member of the U.S. delegation was physically assaulted inside of U.N. Headquarters the afternoon of September 25,” the spokesperson said. “This attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt.”
“If you can’t keep people safe in your own building, how can you claim to be the world’s diplomatic center?” the spokesperson asked.
The spokesperson also addressed the need for upgraded security measures.
“We know the U.N. needs dramatic reform and now must also immediately implement a thorough review of the U.N. ‘s security operations,” the spokesperson said. “The U.N.’s failures are evident worldwide, and now in its own halls.”
The official who was assaulted told the outlet that the assault was political in nature but that the HHS team feels empowered by their leadership.
“Secretary Kennedy gets a tremendous number of bows and arrows and threats that he deals with, but it seems that it’s not enough, and it is trickling down,” the official said. “That’s a scary thing for the team. But we’re more empowered, and we have amazing leadership.”
Defund the UN. We have to burn the village to save it.
I never did....OR the teleprompter......OR the microphone
“calling the official a “Nazi” and a “fascist.”

Well that’s certainly original /s/
Projection is a leftist knee-jerk reaction.
The swallowed the DNC kool aid and then hermetically sealed their brains. From that point on, they have considered themselves ‘intellectually complete.’
They never do/or ever will recognize any opinion or authority above or outside themselves.
Accepting someone elses ideas wholesale is not the same as sitting down to some research on the issue and reaching a concusion and a perspective of your own.
It's why they CANNOT/WILL NOT ever debate, because subjectively and arbitrarily regurgitating borrowed and fixed ideas from someone else means you have no frame of reference or corroborating data behind those ideas.
Violence is the only 'politics' remaining to these people. They bring all and everything to the level of barbarism
The United Nations have never won a war…but it has raped a bunch of people.
I don't think Anna Kelly understands...it was likely just a run-of-the-mill UN employee. Or a Democrat.
As for the "Escalator Thing":
a deranged leftist at the U.N. who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security“
Yeah somehow
a deranged leftist at the U.N. who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security“
Yeah somehow
The sicko chased her across the lobby, into a bathroom and into a stall. Perfect example not to run into a corner with no escape. Run toward people.
Happenstance. Coincidence. Enemy Action.
No “men” around to intervene? Oh, u.n.
This Admin Official needs to order herself a few containers of MACE, then learn to use it. Don’t leave home w/o it!
Have some kind of plan for defense. Don’t just allow yourself to be a Pain Sponge for the Lib-Loonies.
