The Secret Service has launched an investigation after one of its agents was revealed to be a member of radical-left activist group Antifa.
Researchers at Justice Report said they discovered the agent’s political allegiance and also uncovered a series of disturbing posts about president-elect Donald Trump.
The agent’s identity and political beliefs were discovered in a series of posts on Reddit, using the now-deleted account u/endon40.
The agent called American voters “chodes” and “Nazis.”
“These chodes are cowards and won’t win, no matter how long it takes to pry them from power if they manage to cheat their way back to it,” the Anifa sympathizer wrote. “The survival rate of fascist dictatorships trends towards zero.”
“They voted for a dude who has Nazi-a**policies and who surrounds himself with people who do, including actual neo-Nazis,” he added.
“When you’re willing to (vote Trump) and support a guy who has policies mirroring the Third Reich and again, had actual neo nazis around him, you’re a Nazi.
The agent mad boasts about being a committed anarchist, describing himself as a “walking talking Infoshop” of anarchist theory.
In response to the report, Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics reached out to the Secret Service for comment.
Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi responded by saying the agency has now launched an investigation.
“The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” Gugilielmi said.
“We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.”
The Secret Service has been heavily criticized, both internally and externally, for its failure to protect president-elect Donald Trump from a would-be assassin on 13 July, in Butler, Pennsylvania, and later during a second assassination attempt at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach.
