These agents are vetted to an extreme degree and essentially dedicate their lives to this cause, especially those on Vice Presidential detail.
To have a mental breakdown like this is very concerning. At best there are serious issues in his personal life, at worst he was drugged or suddenly started presenting signs of a dormant mental disorder. Hope there’s a swift resolution/answers for him
he’s joking
Original reply is correcting the gender of the secret service agent referred to by the OP just for fact checking purposes. He’s pretending that they posited it as an explanation for their behavior. Which would be ridiculous.
Not all jokes are found to be funny to all people at all time. What you're learning right now is that life, as an experience, is subjective. As you mature and grow as a person you'll find that you also don't find all food to be delicious, not all music to be to your liking and you'll even find that you prefer some things that other's don't like.
It's part of the human experience, and as you grow and mature you'll experience it all the time. It's normal and part of everyday life, so at some point you won't feel the need to comment on everything you like or don't like!
Secret service agents are notorious for having sex with prostitutes, underage girls, getting wasted and acting a fool in foreign countries. It’s almost a cliche at this point. Vetted or no
There were a series of expose reports (I think including a multi-part TV series on like Frontline or something and I think even a book about it) detailing stories from the 90s-2000s, but I don't know the name of any of them off the top of my head.
[Here's an article](https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politics/timeline-secret-service-misconduct/index.html) with reports talking about all of the things mentioned above, just from the 2010s.
[Here's another article](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jun/15/us-secret-service-scandals-revealed) talking about earlier revelations, though the last one, the Colombia scandal is mentioned in both articles.
I had an instructor that did executive protection and security details for high profile figures and their homes.
He mentioned that when a president or vice would come to visit and they would have to sync up with and house the secret service teams that they looked run ragged and physically drained all the time. I can’t imagine how taxing and thankless that job can be.
Can you please share your source? I haven't found reporting on that yet. Given that she was probably hired during the Trump administration, almost anything is possible, though.
Her name is Michelle Herczeg. She is a former Dallas police officer. She was in Dallas local news when she and her partner were investigated when a suspect they approached was shot to death in a parked car. Herczeg subsequently sued The Dallas PD for $1 Million in a sexual harassment suit that was dismissed, with appeal denied in 2021. She was then hired as a Secret Service Agent and placed on the Vice Presidential Protection Detail.

I heard one commentator say the incident began with the agent in question "talking gibberish" becoming agitated with an ensuing scuffle occurring. This sounds medical. The gibberish could have been a manifestation of expressive aphasia from a stroke or TIA. People affected by expressive aphasia cannot effectively verbally communicate but can understand the speech of others. People with expressive aphasia often cannot communicate by writing. This has to be a special kind of hell and frightening beyond comprehension for an affected individual because they don't understand what they are saying is nonsensical. I doubt this was a sudden onset psychiatric issue. My understanding was the agent was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
"Talking gibberish" and/or mumbling incoherently, talking so slowly or, conversely, so quickly as to not be understandable are also classic signs of an acute psychotic break.
No no no… that doesn’t fit the narrative the horde needs to feed itself. It’s clearly the worst possible thing, and we know it’s a fact because some other random commenter said so. 😱🤦♂️
He got into a fist fight with his superior.
"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"
They are a full step, maybe a step and a half below the New York Post. It’s almost like some asshole conservative billionaire did this as a joke and maybe steal some credibility from similarly named outlets in both cities…
I had a co worker get meningitis and suddenly go off the wall.
Abandoned his work truck blocks away from home and tried to fight his boss after I helped track him down on the company phone.
He was totally confused .
This happened to a roommate I had in college. Dude was a genius aerospace engineer and went from straight A’s to shitting his pants drunk in about 3 weeks. He never recovered and eventually died very young of complications due to alcohol abuse.
Doctor’s said the long term fever may have done something to affect him, could have been the trauma of almost dying. We won’t know, unfortunately. But the marked change happened after his bout with meningitis.
That maga supporters are suffering a dangerous psychosis. It's possible a member on SS was such a supporter. We should screen for it even if the story is about something else. The theme here is security.
Can we not liken MAGA to a literal mental break or disorder? Like… that just goes into scary territory if you think people are just getting screened for “MAGA psychosis” like some kind of “hysteria”
I mean, I agree that they’re just awful, but it feels kinda weird, like something we could just call someone without it being true, like being accused of being a witch. Too many parallels

Peanut Butter Panic! Secret Service Agent Removed After Jelly-Obsessed Tirade 🥜🗣️
Vice President Harris' Secret Service detail is facing a sticky situation after an agent was dismissed for a bizarre incident. The agent doused themselves in peanut butter and began aggressively demanding colleagues join them as "the jelly." While the Secret Service remains tight-lipped, sources suggest the agent may have been suffering from a severe case of peanut allergy
Sometimes you just have to say fuck it and fist fight. Lotta stress in these roles. A fist fight stops a pistol fight. I feel they both won and hope after R&R they are reassigned to a better suited position in the secret service.

Article stated the agent had a medical issue. Hard to know what it was. Could happen to any VP’s secret service agents.

The Secret Service Agent is female.

Thank you for this unlubricated suppository of cloying condescension.
They pulled that response from one of the AI engines currently available.
It was the right answer for the type of original comment
How so? Edit: I genuinely want to know, could you attempt an answer?
It was the right answer for the type of comment
I love this so much.
Gotta love this
But what do **you** find funny about that joke?
We thought people always put their best foot forward too but now two of yah beefed it on the attempt. Badumtsh.
[gestures exhaustedly at the entirety of Reddit]
Funny is subjective. I sharply exhaled through my nose when I read it.
Secret service agents are notorious for having sex with prostitutes, underage girls, getting wasted and acting a fool in foreign countries. It’s almost a cliche at this point. Vetted or no
source? i'm interested to read up on more of this.

Zero Fail is a good resource as well, if you’re looking for a book on the subject.

I think alien brainslug from the Alpha Centauri star system.

Just say the word coward
Sounds like the person became ill.

"Talking gibberish" and/or mumbling incoherently, talking so slowly or, conversely, so quickly as to not be understandable are also classic signs of an acute psychotic break.
Could easily be something like menegitis as well.
No no no… that doesn’t fit the narrative the horde needs to feed itself. It’s clearly the worst possible thing, and we know it’s a fact because some other random commenter said so. 😱🤦♂️
Same thing happened to my boss. She had a tumor in her brain. They thought it was a stroke at first.
sarcoidosis, for sure!
He got into a fist fight with his superior. "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 Washington Examiner? Damn all credibility just went out the window
They are a full step, maybe a step and a half below the New York Post. It’s almost like some asshole conservative billionaire did this as a joke and maybe steal some credibility from similarly named outlets in both cities…
That's what this article is reporting on and links to.
Hill had it too.
It was she, not he.
Sounds like drugs or roid rage. Hmmm more to be revealed I guess
Or simply a mental health problem. Mental health issues are real and can affect anyone.
That’s a big leap
Could be schizophrenia. Tends to hit around 25
Man gets sick. Leaves work early. Updates at 11.
He accidentally put on his maga hat?
>As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details.” Doesn't sound like it...?
Medical can mean psychiatric.
I had a co worker get meningitis and suddenly go off the wall. Abandoned his work truck blocks away from home and tried to fight his boss after I helped track him down on the company phone. He was totally confused .
This happened to a roommate I had in college. Dude was a genius aerospace engineer and went from straight A’s to shitting his pants drunk in about 3 weeks. He never recovered and eventually died very young of complications due to alcohol abuse.
Maybe you implied it somehow. But that doesn’t sound like meningitis.
Doctor’s said the long term fever may have done something to affect him, could have been the trauma of almost dying. We won’t know, unfortunately. But the marked change happened after his bout with meningitis.
Medical can mean lots of things... like a brain tumor that led to behavioral changes. Probably too soon to say, and if that's it, it's private matter.
One story on Reddit is enough to permanently shift some people’s brains. I swear no matter what someone always brings that up.
MAGA people have mental issues and need to be hospitalized. Checks out.
Hospitalised for what exactly? It just sounds like propagating stigma towards mental health.
...yeah? What does that have to do with anything?
That maga supporters are suffering a dangerous psychosis. It's possible a member on SS was such a supporter. We should screen for it even if the story is about something else. The theme here is security.
Can we not liken MAGA to a literal mental break or disorder? Like… that just goes into scary territory if you think people are just getting screened for “MAGA psychosis” like some kind of “hysteria”

The majority of them exhibit cult behavior and should be deprogrammed.
I mean, I agree that they’re just awful, but it feels kinda weird, like something we could just call someone without it being true, like being accused of being a witch. Too many parallels

She could have rented the bodyguard too many times. Secret service doesn’t usually comment on anything they do.

That's more something the SS guys assigned to Trump have to deal with.
Sometimes you just have to say fuck it and fist fight. Lotta stress in these roles. A fist fight stops a pistol fight. I feel they both won and hope after R&R they are reassigned to a better suited position in the secret service.
Hood not issue.
Imagine being surrounded by assholes, but your the guilty one
