Two of the three who were removed, Bauer and Leslie Weise, said that Klinkerman is the event volunteer who was wearing a magenta shirt and smiley-face tie that night, and told them, "Secret Service is coming down to talk to your group."
Then a man who looked and acted like a Secret Service agent arrived and threatened them with arrest. He allowed them to enter but then found them 20 to 30 minutes later and forced them to leave.
The real Secret Service says the man who ousted Bauer, Weise and Alex Young from the president's speech was actually a Republican Party staffer. The Secret Service has told the three that the man admitted to an agent that he ousted them because they arrived in a car with a "No more blood for oil" bumper sticker.
I hope the Secret Service gives this guy for this. Is it that easy to impersonate a Secret Service agent? Someone could have easily slipped into disguise and gotten close enough to the President to do some damage.
Most likely though, the President will try to let this slide without any publicity because the guy was a probably a hired thug looking for any people that they didn't want there (a public taxpayer funded event, by the way).
