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.

It's quite probable that what this loony toon diversity hire secret service agent considers "racist" and what normal people consider racist are probably a long way from each other.

Nowadays math is racist, so I don't put any stock in her claims of racism.

“...Evy Poumpouras is a former U.S. Secret Service Special Agent, TV personality, host, and multi-media journalist...

That explains a lot....

Umm, “ As the first Black First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Obama had to withstand certain kinds of disparagement that none of her predecessors ever faced “. Perhaps because she, like her hubby, was a divisive, racist TWOT of the first order. All she did was throw hate at the US, and serve as a model of victimhood.
AS to the SSAgent, might this by any chance be the same dumb broad who quit because she got caught saying she wouldn’t take bullet for DJTrump?
Oh, anyone know what the hand sign was? Surely not the OK sign? Oh, c’mon, grow up.

How exactly does she define “racist”?

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....

okie-dokie...confirmation that the Secret Service training does not include sessions on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

They have been the Pretorian Guard since JFK, protecting the entrenched powers and sometimes the President.

“Oppressed” might not be the word I’d have used. But ... OK.

Course, Michael himself could have done something.

I call bullshit. Michelle Obama would never allow such an attractive white woman work for her.

She reminds me of Mike Myers SNL “Sprocket” skits from the 90’s.

It might not be either civil or polite but thanks to the First Amendment I can walk up to anyone,, given the opportunity, and tell them and call them anything I like.

I think moochie is really a man for starters. Other than that, she herself is a racist and a bitter angry black thing.

I have no doubt an idiot here and there did it over the years. And wouldn’t be surprised if a few left wing plants did it too...

However, I don’t know why anyone would expect the secret service to do something because someone shouted a name at their protectee

Ms. Poumpouras concedes that there was really nothing she could do because of First Amendment...

https://www.insider.com/secret-service-agent-couldnt-defend-michelle-obama-from-racist-slurs-2021-5

Poumpouras told Insider there was no protocol in place for dealing with spoken or written forms of racism.

"I could do nothing," she told Insider. "There's freedom of speech in the United States, and even if I personally feel that speech is wrong, the law doesn't give me the power to take that person's speech away."

I agree with you that what Ms. Poumpouras described could have happened...It is possible...

My conclusion is that Ms. Poumpouras liked Michelle Obama...But, she had no intention of stopping some person from exercising his First Amendment right...

Speaking of female agents in US Secret Service...I would like to mention Special Agent Julie Cross...She was the first female US Secret Service agent to die in the line of duty...She and her partner were on some surveillance mission...Then some thugs tried to rob them...Her killer is still on California's death row...
