An armed Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris got into a physical altercation with other agents at Joint Base Andrews on Monday morning.
According to reports, the agent in question, identified as Michelle Herczeg, displayed aggressive behavior, speaking gibberish and shouting at other agents near the lounge at JBA.
Herczeg reportedly threw menstrual pads at another agent before starting a brawl at JBA.
RealClearPolitics reported that Herczeg grabbed a male agent’s personal cell phone and began deleting apps before having a complete breakdown.
Herczeg had to be physically restrained, and her firearm was confiscated. She was handcuffed and transported to the hospital by ambulance.
According to RealClearPolitics, Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, tackled him, and punched him. Concerned agents wrestled her to the ground, disarmed her, handcuffed her, and escorted her out of the terminal.
Another agent was also hospitalized.
Kamala Harris was at the Naval Observatory during the altercation.

Maybe DEI in the Secret Service wasn't a good idea.

From RealClearPolitics:
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.
According to the New York Post, agent Herzceg had previously filed a $1 million gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas when she served as a police officer.
Interesting history of Secret Service agent Michelle Herczeg. She previously filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas in 2016.https://t.co/gVaHUXXK1A https://t.co/LBZwSHvZw1 pic.twitter.com/h85HF5GJ7F
