We’re just going to file this in “things that never happened.”
Michelle Obama’s Secret Service Agent, Evy Poumpouras said she could go nowhere in public without racial slurs being hurled at the former First Lady.
“As the first Black First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Obama had to withstand certain kinds of disparagement that none of her predecessors ever faced,” Poumpouras wrote. “I was on her protective detail when we were driving to a school to deliver a speech; we passed someone on a bridge holding up a shockingly racist sign directed at her.”
“I remember feeling outraged — after all, it was part of our job to protect the first family mentally as well as physically.
