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.

In recent years, the Secret Service has ranked either dead last or near the bottom of a government employee survey of job satisfaction conducted annually by the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service. The agency’s most recent ranking for 2023 is near the bottom at No. 375 out of 432 agencies.


Commentary:
Herczeg showed up at the terminal and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it
Deep state has gone completely around the bend.
This is the BEST! "Inclusion" at its finest. This incident pretty much sums up the Biden administration.
This is the same person that once filed a million dollar lawsuit against the Dallas police dept for sexual harassment.
Meanwhile, Democrats are hanging the Abortion issue on EVERY REPUBLICAN, not just the ones that demand an end to abortion. Why? Now this is hard for many here to understand - because THAT TACTIC WORKS!!!
Likewise, here, we have DEI. When a plane crashes, I don’t give a crap if the entire flight crew are white men, I’m going to hang DEI and EVERY DEMOCRAT, and I have NO PROBLEM assuming DEI as the cause, even without evidence. Why? Again, this is hard - because THAT TACTIC WORKS!!! The Democrats have handed us DEI on a SILVER PLATTER - we need to learn to TAKE ADVANTAGE of that opportunity.
Instead, many here, prefer to live in the past, back when Democrats tried to at least sometimes play fair. Here’s some news: DEMOCRATS CHEAT and because of their cheating, they’re damn close to putting this country out of business - is it worth still adhering to some obsolete moral code AND LOSING...when the other side does not do the same?

So much for vetting, makes one wonder if this is a result of pushing DEI?

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.

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.

Herczeg also screamed at the special agent in charge (SAIC), rattling off the names of female officers on the vice president’s detail and claiming they would show up and help her and allow her to continue working. At that point, other agents on the scene believed Herczeg was suffering from a mental lapse, and the superior officer, SAIC, approached her to tell her she was relieved from the assignment.

“That’s when she snapped entirely,” one source recounted.

Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved in restraining Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal.
___________________________
Following the incident, Secret Service agents and officers are privately questioning the hiring process and whether the agency had adequately screened Herczeg’s background. Some also wonder whether her hire was part of a diversity, equity, and inclusion push in response to years of staff shortages that may have required the agency to lower its once-strict employment standards and physical performance to reach quotas for female agents and officers.

In 2016, Herczeg, then an officer with the Dallas police force, filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the city, claiming she was assaulted by a male superior and asking for more than $1 million in damages.

The suit alleged that Herczeg was “targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably” and was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claimed she was not allowed to return to a crime-reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her. A Texas trial court dismissed the suit, Herczeg appealed, and a Texas court of appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision in 2021 and denied a rehearing in 2022.

While serving on the Dallas police force, Herczeg and another officer shot an armed man while he sat in a parked car. . According to a department spokesman, the officers were firing in self defense because the man, who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a child, was brandishing a weapon and eventually shot himself in the head. A headline in the Dallas Observer raised some doubt about the official police account: “Two Dallas Cops Shot a Man Last Night, but They Say He Killed Himself.”

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

Scary, that someone like this got on the VP’s detail.

I’m not necessarily for DEI, in regards to all law enforcement positions (Especially the Secret Service). Incidents like this one just solidifies my opinion.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Sounds like she has a substance abuse problem. Hope she gets the help she needs before entering into her next career choice.

Yes and I’m glad they were able to restrain her, before the situation escalated.

 

[Donald H]

Is this a one-off or has a new precedence been set in America now?

Can any president or vice president have confidence on being safe? There have been suspicions since Jan.6th. that law enforcement may be of two different loyalties. The uncertainty must continue until it is finally decided whether or not Biden stole Trump's election.

 

[1srelluc]

Given her man-hating run-ins in Dallas Cumswalla likely vetted her personally.

 

[WEATHER53]

If she’s a minority there will be charges she was handled too roughly

She's white, but possibly lesbian.

 

[theHawk]

She’s a DEI hire. Has a history of filing “discrimination” complaints:

.

 

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

She’s obviously mentally ill and needs serious help. Long term hospitalization, perhaps.

She never should have been hired for that position.

View attachment 937574

All of her lawsuits have been denied. That would normally have been an automatic no as far as SS employment.

Not in the DEI era. Such unhinged lunatics are welcomed in positions of great responsibility.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The OP perp is blaming the agent's mental agony on the service and DEI.

Preposterous.

 

[SeaMajor7]

DEI

Didn't
Earn
It

Did she leave the toot in the WH closet?

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Did she leave the toot in the WH closet?

Sounds more like a liquid diet problem

 

[elektra]

why would you assume she is a democrat

 

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

Lol, but next…..

I'd bet someone will answer for this hiring.
