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 The agent was handcuffed before being withdrawn from service for medical assessment.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.
“$5 on dei.”
Darn, you win.
I can easily understand how working under Kamala would have that effect on you.
Does his first name include an apostrophe?
I’d be in a bad mood all the time too if I had to protect that piece of crap.
HPPA privacy act is a way to have the government lie and control information
Wonder if Dan Bongino will have some inside skinny on this since he worked for the Secret Service and still knows a lot of insiders......
He heard the laugh one too many times?
><
Lol. That’s probably about right.
We have a winner. The description of the incident reads like somebody thought “dey wuz dis-ruspektid”.
She cackles when she’s nervous and put on the spot in front of people or a TV camera. My bet is that she’s an absolute misery to put up with behind the scenes. A self-centered, ultra-Karen byatch.
Heck, I’ve done the same with dozens of engineers, do it all the time, yawn, big deal about nothing. Of course, we’re just armed with knives and clubs.
Diabetes more likely. Sugar unbalance can cause a normal person to become mike tyson for no apparent reason.
If I remember I’ll try to listen tomorrow.
Meanwhile it was probably like this....

fighting over who she would go down on next? She needs to stay in practice
[I started watching Veep and had to stop.
Seeing it play out in real time is already too much.]
Why do I suspect the agent in question is female? They are really tiptoeing around the gender of the agent.
I snorted coffee out my nose.
Too funny.
The USSS was essentially a decent agency up until about 2010. They were pretty much the last decent federal agency.
Christopher Wray will announce the FBI has launched an investigation any minute. After that, no one can talk about the incident for 60 odd years which is about the same time it’s been since November 22, 1963.
Let the coverup begin.
I’ve got 5 bucks on it was a woman that got mad at having to put up even one day longer with kneepads Harris.
Hint!
The agent was removed from THEIR assignment………
All Secret Service agents are armed while on domestic protective duty.
But we are supposed to believe that this Secret Service Agent was Not Armed ?
I call Biden BS!
