A new report claims that a female U.S. Secret Service agent abandoned her post to breastfeed at a North Carolina campaign rally featuring President Donald Trump on Wednesday. The agent reportedly was discovered just minutes before the former president’s motorcade was scheduled to arrive.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Susan Crabtree, a RealClearPolitics correspondent, cited three sources in the Secret Service community who claimed that a female special agent in the Secret Service “abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent” just prior to Trump’s campaign rally in North Carolina on Wednesday.
Crabtree wrote, “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.”

Crabtree noted that a working Secret Service agent is not permitted to bring a child to the location of a protective assignment. The RealClearPolitics correspondent also pointed out that the female Secret Service agent, who has not been identified, was from the Atlanta Field Office.
According to the Secret Service sources, the female agent was discovered in a room with two other family members who bypassed the security checkpoint and were “escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed.” Crabtree noted that the term unpinned indicates that the individuals were not cleared by the Secret Service to be there.
In response to the incident, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, “All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards. 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.”
End Wokeness shared a Newsmax video report on social media concerning Wednesday’s Secret Service incident. In the video, a reporter can be heard noting that the incident comes just over a month after the assassination attempt against Trump, describing it as “what many consider to be the biggest Secret Service failure in recent American history.” Another reporter cited a whistleblower who has warned of another potential attack against the former president.
According to the Secret Service’s website, women currently comprise 24% of the agency’s workforce. End Wokeness claimed that the agency is aiming to have a “30% female force by 2030.”
