“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,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told the Washington Examiner.

Kelly said the Secret Service “must investigate” how the person gained access into the UNGA and that the U.N. should answer to recent “highly concerning incidents.”

“Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech,” she said.

“The USSS must investigate how this violent protestor was admitted into a major national security event and the UN must answer why these highly concerning incidents continue to happen against the President and his staff,” Kelly added.

The U.N. previously angered the administration and Trump after an escalator stopped while Trump and first lady Melania Trump were on it. There were also issues with Trump’s teleprompter and with the audio in the building.

The person who assaulted the HHS employee has been charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon, Fox News reported. The outlet also reported that a spokesperson for the U.S. delegation to the U.N. was outraged.

“We know the UN needs dramatic reform and now must also immediately implement a thorough review of the UN’s security operations,” the spokesperson said. “The UN’s failures are evident worldwide, and now in its own halls.”

The official described her assault in an interview with the outlet. “It was very disorienting,” the official said. “Once I took a step back and regained my footing, it didn’t stop. I realized what was happening. I realized I was being yelled at and that the light was also a recording device.”

The official said the woman called her a “fascist” and a “Nazi.”

A spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary General said the person was an “invited guest” at an event sponsored by a member state. “She had been issued the appropriate authorization to enter the UN premises. Like all other attendees, she was subject to a thorough security screening before entering the premises,” they told the outlet.

The U.N. handed her over to the NYPD after they learned of the incident.

“Anyone granted access to the UN premises is expected to behave in an orderly manner and can be removed immediately if that’s the case,” they said.
