In the early hours of the morning, around 2:30 a.m., a confrontation broke out between two female Secret Service agents stationed outside former President Obama’s residence in Washington, D.C., according to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree. The dispute reportedly began when one agent, frustrated over her late shift replacement, called a supervisor warning, “Come immediately before I whoop this girl’s ass.”
Although the incident caused no disturbance to the Obamas or nearby neighbors, it has sparked internal concerns about the professionalism and hiring standards within the agency. These concerns come amid heightened scrutiny following last year’s near-assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Critics link the decline in agency discipline to diversity-driven hiring practices, while others emphasize long-standing challenges with morale and staffing shortages impacting the Secret Service’s effectiveness.
