Susan Crabtree (@susancrabtree) ~ 🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
Shortly before Trump's motorcade arrival -- I'm told five minutes beforehand -- the site agent was getting ready for the arrival. (The site agent is the person in charge of the entire event's security.)
The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president.
A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment. The woman was out of the Atlanta Field Office.
The woman agent was in the room with two other family members.
The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed, the sources said. Unpinned means they have not been cleared by the Secret Service to be there.
When contacted about the incident, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the incident did not have an impact on the event and it's under review.
"All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards," he said. "While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further."
Seriously? A female Secret Service agent ON DUTY had her infant child with her - AND WAS BREASTFEEDING THE CHILD?!
The Secret Service, like the FBI, is a joke.
Just Mindy (@just_mindy) ~ I am all for accommodating women who need to breastfeed, but clearly a baby shouldn’t be at a place where there could be a dangerous situation at any moment. If a mom is pumping, maybe she should work desk duty for a bit. Again, you can have it all, just not all at the same time.
