Trump official was assaulted at UN
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Kelly said, “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.”
She further said that the official is “safe” and the “lunatic” who followed the official has been arrested. Jelly went on to blast the United Nations, saying that this is a “disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.”
She further mentioned that the US Secret Service will look into “how this violent protester was admitted into a major national security event.”
In response to the accusations, a UN spokesman reportedly stated that the incident has to be dealt with immediately and that there must be repercussions.
Trump and Melania's UN visit sparks controversy
Trump made a long list of complaints in his speech to the UN. The first tricky moment for the US President was when he and First Lady Melania Trump were on the escalator, which suddenly got stopped. Later, he threatened the operator with “big trouble” after his teleprompter went blank during his address.
During his UNGA speech, he even rebuked the UN over a “bad” escalator and teleprompter.
He also devoted a significant amount of time to speaking about his domestic policies, claiming that the UN is living in a golden period and restating the assertion that he has halted seven conflicts in his time as president.
“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! This wasn't a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN,” he wrote on Truth Social blasting the UN.
