DEI Is Our Strength: Two Totally-Qualified Female Secret Service Agents Get Into a Hair-Pulling Catfight Outside the Obama Residence
Update: The Fight Was Over Who Got Which Car?

So professional.

Two Secret Service agents were suspended after getting into a physical altercation last week that was captured on video and circulated online.

A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the video, which depicted two female officers getting into a physical fight while on duty. NBC News reported that the incident occurred outside of former President Obama's home in Washington, D.C.

The spokesperson said the incident -- which occurred early last Wednesday -- is under internal investigation.

🚨#BREAKING SCOOP: IS DEI STILL PLAGUING THE SECRET SERVICE?
FRACAS OUTSIDE OBAMA RESIDENCE RAISES NEW QUESTIONS: Get a supervisor "immediately before I whoop this girl's ass."

Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside former President Obama's D.C. residence while guarding it. The fracas occurred at roughly 2:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.

The lack of professionalism was on display during the fight and in a call one of the women made on a recorded Secret Service line to request a supervisor to come to the scene "immediately before I whoop this girl's ass." The woman officer who made the call was upset that her shift replacement was late and assailed her verbally and physically when she finally did arrive to relieve her. Audio of the early a.m. call is now circulating among agents and officers and is attached to this X post.

...

The incident is raising new concerns among fellow Secret Service agents and officers about the agency's lowering of hiring standards during years of a major DEI push to add more minorities and women to the ranks under previous Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.

Cheatle resigned under a cloud after the J13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The Secret Service for years has experienced low morale and a severe manpower shortage, which is also contributing to lower hiring standards as the agency works to increase its agents and officers.

#BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE: @RCPolitics has obtained video of the fight between two women Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers outside former President Obama's residence last week after one officer called a supervisor to come before "I whoop this girl's ass."

More details about the reason for the fight: Multiple Secret Service sources say one woman Uniformed Division officer was triggered because the officer coming to relieve at the end of her shift was late. Another well-placed Secret Service source says the replacement officer was only a few minutes late, and the woman officer who started the fight wanted a Dodge Durango, not the Ford Explorer, that the other officer arrived in. Officers apparently have a choice of cars they can check out when they go on duty -- and provide relief for shift changes.

"If that's all it takes to set you off, [then this officer] is dangerous to have around," the source remarked.

Secret Service agents and officers are annually trained to recognize "insider threats" -- employees who pose a danger to the agency's security, data, and operations.

The officer who started the fight displays several of the "insider threat" signs. As @RCPolitics previously reported, the agency did not actively investigate at least one other internal "insider threat" report for several years despite internal complaints about this employee, and there are ongoing questions about whether the agent was appropriately punished after she was investigated.

Some key signs of insider threats:

Disgruntled Employees: Disengaged or unhappy employees can be more likely to engage in risky behavior, potentially leading to security breaches or other issues.

Behavioral and Performance Issues:
Changes in work habits, such as decreased productivity, increased errors, or displays of resentment, can be early warning signs of potential insider threats.

Security violations: Disgruntled employees might intentionally or unintentionally cause security breaches, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, excessive data downloads, or policy violations.

In the last year, multiple Secret Service agents have been suspended for getting into fights with each other. They have all been female. But you're not supposed to draw any conclusions from that. No matter how obvious those conclusions seem to be.

I saw someone, maybe Actual Justice Warrior or Black Conservative Perspective, call for assigning all of the DEI hires that Biden used to use for Trump's "protective" detail to Obama, Biden, and the Clintons. After all, if Diversity Is Our Strength, those who have recruited all of this "Strength" should have all of that "Strength," shouldn't they?

It looks like maybe that is what Trump is doing, and good on him if he is.

Meanwhile, the Obamas continue their Love-Romance for the Ages.

The rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage won't go away, and that's largely because neither of them has bothered to deny them. Despite media portrayals suggesting that Michelle has addressed the speculation, what we keep getting are vague, rehearsed soundbites that avoid saying anything definitive. ...

It's telling that Michelle and Barack still haven't offered a clear denial. Instead, we're expected to believe that there's nothing wrong after each flimsy excuse and explanation is offered.

...

Except that they're not. On Wednesday, Page Six reported that the Obamas "proved they're still going strong with a romantic date night" in New York City this week.

The couple was photographed leaving New York City's Lowell Hotel restaurant Tuesday night, their first time spotted together in six months.

Barack, 63, suited up for the occasion.

Michelle, for her part, stunned in a ruffled black gown, completing her look with a pair of black slingback heels.

She wore her hair back in a low bun and accessorized with statement gold jewelry, from her hoop earrings to the bangles stacked on her arm.

The 61-year-old, who had her wedding ring on, was all smiles exiting the establishment.

As for her husband, Barack maintained a serious expression as the duo approached their car surrounded by Secret Service members.

He walked behind his wife, and the pair did not engage in any PDA.

Here's an Artist's Conception of what Barry-Michelle PDA might look like:

Matt Margolis concludes:

This is the first time we've seen them together in public in months. Yet the media is pushing this "all is well" line while unsubtly pointing out details that "prove" the rumors of marital problems to be false. Michelle "had her wedding ring on." Oh really? Did anyone think she wouldn't?
