The 6 Most Fascinating Latino Stories of the Year

Don’t cross a Latina.

Dania Londono Suarez (the alleged Colombian escort at the center of the U.S. Secret Service scandal) didn’t hold her tongue when describing the agents she met last spring on NBC’s Today show. As you may recall, the scandal centered on the alleged misconduct of about a dozen Secret Service officers, agents, and supervisors in Cartagena, Colombia; the men were there for President Barack Obama’s appearance in the country for a Latin American summit.

The 24-year-old Suarez said the agents liked to show off their bodies and craved attention – something she said Colombian women weren’t accustomed to. She laughed when the Today reporter asked for her opinion of the agents, who she described as “stupid” and “idiots.”

“I don’t know how Obama had them in his security force,” she said.

Ouch.
