The stopped escalator and teleprompter incidents during President Trump’s visit to the UN earlier this week just got placed into a disturbing new context.
As we highlighted, the incidents are suspected to have been sabotage, with reports prior to Trump’s visit indicating this was going to be done by UN insiders as a way of trolling Trump.
The stopped escalator in particular highlighted a weakness in Trump’s security detail as he along with other officials and the First Lady were momentarily left stationary and exposed.
Now it has emerged that there was a violent leftist inside the building who was arrested for assaulting a Trump administration official.
? NEW: Yesterday, a Trump administration official was assaulted by a deranged leftist at the UN.

This is part of a disturbing set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump.
The UN must answer for this pattern of concerning incidents.https://t.co/Tvx0mjSyhr
The deranged lunatic, who has since been released from custody pending a court appearance, was charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Details have not emerged as to exactly what kind of weapon the person was in possession of.
The Trump official works in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services and was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly related her account of the incident to Fox News, noting “An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,”
“Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech,” Kelly added.
“The UN must answer why these highly concerning incidents continue to happen against the president and his staff,” Kelly proclaimed.
“We are outraged that a member of the U.S. delegation was physically assaulted inside of UN Headquarters the afternoon of September 25,” a U.S. UN spokesperson told Fox News, adding “This attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt.”
The official added that the UN “has devolved into an arena where an American delegation member is harassed and assaulted,” further noting “If you can’t keep people safe in your own building, how can you claim to be the world’s diplomatic center?”
Why were all these security lapses allowed to occur?
The UN is not a secure facility for American officials. Whoever is in charge of security there has been compromised. The President and the diplomatic corps should treat the UN with disdain going forward. Just phone in our vetoes of their insane resolutions and have the President…

You need to get very serious about the violence the Democrats are organizing against us

This is no time to be politically correct and be naive.
They are gunning for us through Soros through Davos through ANTIFA through the DEMOCRAT PARTY
WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS AND USE…
So this is what the ‘tolerant left’ looks like—physically attacking officials because they can’t win with ideas. The UNGA turns into a circus while the media downplays left-wing violence. If the roles were reversed, it’d be front-page outrage for weeks.

Of course the UN is unsecured and outright hostile toward any and all populist leaders. You can’t tell me the vaunted Secret Service isn’t aware of this? Anymore than they’re aware of exposed sniper nest rooftops. Looks like the US SS needs to be dismantled … completely … from the top-down, from the inside-out. A total dismantle. Gotta get all the BLM kneelers and luvvie wokesters OUT of the US SS.
..pics & name of the perp, or it’s just another piece of propaganda..
That property would make a great location for a new hotel. Trump was seen measuring corridors with his gold tape measure.
100% agree. The US needs to get out of the UN and the UN needs to get out of the US.
