Turkish President’s Security Guards Rough Up Journalists in D.C. — Watch Fed-Up Secret Service Agent Sternly Remind Them Where They Are

New video has emerged of an apparent U.S. Secret Service agent scolding members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail during an event in which protesters and journalists were roughed up before the world leader’s speech in Washington D.C. on Thursday.

“Stay on this side, tell him to calm down,” the agent can be heard saying in a stern tone. “This is America … act like an adult and stay on this side of the road. End of story.”

When one of Erdogan’s bodyguards protested, the Secret Service agent continued the verbal lashing.

“By going over there and flipping the bird, you’re causing more problems — for me! And for your protection,” he added.
