In a shocking display of escalating lawlessness, a U.S. Secret Service agent was brazenly robbed at gunpoint while Joe Biden was busy hobnobbing with Hollywood elites at a high-stakes fundraising event in California. This audacious crime unfolded on Saturday night around 9:15 p.m. in Tustin, a mere hour outside the glitzy event in Los Angeles where Biden mingled with former President Barack Obama and celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Bateman, and Barbra Streisand, all to rake in over $30 million for his reelection campaign.
As the president worked the room, raising funds and undoubtedly sharing anecdotes about his administration’s “achievements,” one of his protectors faced a dire situation. The agent’s bag was snatched by unidentified assailants, prompting a quick but chaotic response. A colleague of the victim fired at the fleeing vehicle, but the suspects managed to escape, leaving behind only a trail of confusion and concern.
The Tustin Police Department swiftly arrived on the scene, retrieving some of the agent’s belongings. Yet, despite their efforts, the suspects remain at large. Authorities have issued a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) for a 2004-2006 silver Infiniti FX35 or a similar vehicle. The New York Times noted that it was unclear if the robbery was directly linked to Biden’s visit, but the timing and proximity certainly raise unsettling questions.
This incident is just the latest in a series of security lapses and public embarrassments for the Biden administration. Not long ago, the president experienced yet another troubling moment on stage during the same event. As he addressed the crowd, Biden, now 81, froze, staring blankly into the audience until Obama intervened, physically guiding him along for the remainder of the program. Such episodes have become all too common, prompting the White House to take extraordinary measures to prevent further mishaps.
From special grippy sneakers designed to prevent him from slipping to the use of auxiliary stairs for boarding Air Force One, Biden’s team has been working overtime to manage the optics of his apparent decline. These efforts, however, do little to address the underlying issues—both with the president’s fitness for office and the security breaches that seem to follow him.
Adding to the growing list of concerns is the recent revelation of a bag of cocaine found in the West Wing last summer, shortly after an event attended by Biden’s embattled son, Hunter. While the Secret Service conveniently declined to disclose who brought the drugs into one of the most secure areas in the world, the incident only underscores the chaotic environment that seems to envelop this administration.
As Biden’s presidency barrels towards the next election, these security lapses and personal stumbles paint a portrait of an administration struggling to maintain control. The robbery of a Secret Service agent, particularly amid a high-profile event, is not just a footnote in Biden’s tenure—it’s a glaring symbol of deeper, systemic issues that demand immediate and serious attention.
