So, let’s get this straight: a Secret Service agent whose literal job is to protect President Trump, the First Lady, and other top U.S. officials decides to take a nap in full public view during the United Nations General Assembly. And just to really put the cherry on top, he left his rifle unattended while he did it. This isn’t just sloppy. It’s reckless, humiliating, and dangerous.
According to RealClearPolitics, the agent in question was part of the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division, and he fell asleep on post, right there at one of the most high-profile security events of the year. Photos of the agent snoozing were taken by NYPD officers, who also saw his unattended rifle — what appears to be an SR16, a semi-automatic carbine. Now, if your blood pressure isn’t rising yet, it should be.
Let’s be honest here: this is not just some one-off goof by a tired guy who missed his morning coffee. This is what happens when you fill elite security roles using woke DEI checklists instead of merit-based hiring. And it’s not just a theory anymore, even Secret Service agents are starting to blow the whistle. Rashid Ellis, a former agent, has gone public accusing the agency of dropping standards during the Biden years in favor of political correctness and diversity quotas. Other agents are saying the same thing privately.
The sleeping agent has now been placed on administrative leave and shipped back to D.C., but it’s not enough. This guy should’ve never been in the position to begin with. The Secret Service says they have “strict professional standards,” but apparently those standards weren’t strict enough to keep this guy awake or ensure that his weapon wasn’t left lying around like a lost umbrella.
And where’s Director Sean Curran in all this? So far, he’s been silent on the bigger issue, the festering DEI rot left over from the Biden administration. While President Trump is busy restoring sanity across the federal government, from the Pentagon to the DOJ, agencies like the Secret Service are clearly overdue for a serious purge.
As Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently said, there’s no room for “fat troops” or gender-neutral excuses in our fighting force. The same should apply to our federal security agencies. We’re talking about protecting the President of the United States — not working mall security.
Enough with the political correctness. We need warriors, not nappers.
