Earlier today, Senator Alex Padilla, came bursting into a press conference being held by DHS Secretary Noem, without any clear identification of who he was. The FBI agents, seeing a possible threat, physically escorted him out. Now he’s going to sue them.
But there’s more: “Secretary Noem sat with you for 15 minutes afterward. She took questions after her prepared remarks, which is how a press conference works. You don’t just walk up to the podium, then physically fight back when you’re asked politely to retreat.”
Padilla is from California, so he has good access to getting better acting lessons. Link Lauren has thoughts.
A dog and pony show to create some video for the MSM to use to incite more violence and looting.
Every asshole in the MSM who pushes this lie is responsible for the violence they incite.
Their new rules, right?
The deepest cut is that nobody recognized sitting Senator Padilla. Thus rendering his moment of political theatre null and void. “Don’t you know who I am!?” … no sir … we don’t. And now we have no interest in you whatsoever.
I seem to recall there was a family of Padillas in San Diego that had their fingers in a lot of pies. Is he one of them?
“We’ve got a Padilla for sale, Megillah Padilla for sale…” – nah, that can’t be right.
And not wearing a name tag or the senatorial pin that acts as an identifier. In other words, doing its (normally don’t care about gender pronunciations won’t assume smart-enough-to-know gender with dumbasses like this) best to be stopped for what was looking (in the moment) like an intended assault to get some media attention.
Democrats and Liberals; “No one is above the law; except us. Laws are for the little people, and our political enemies.”
How Soviet of them.
Don’t be so narrow-minded. There are many shades of leftist (fascist, Marxist, sociology professor, communist, nazi) that it could be. All were certain that they are above the law.
Silly me, I thought fascists, Marxists, sociology professors, communists, nazis, were all part of the Liberal and Democrat parties.
Yes, but they have edgy nuance in their depravities and so they can look down on each other for being ideologically impure. Even more so than they look down on us because they know that we’ll “never get it” and are lost causes while their almost-bretheran “should know better and must be choosing the wrong path”.
CNN interviews expert who…..didn’t get the memo:
““Officers are trying to lead him out, he turns and walks into those agents. At that point…we’re taking that person out against their will.”

Escalation has consequences.
In a nutshell (appropriate language) A sitting Senator of the USA is behaving like every arrogant, poorly informed and ill-educated black man resisting police arrest. He’s resisting. And so the police have no option except to escalate their control of the perp. I suppose he wanted to become a martyr like Travon, Michael Brown, or George Floyd … I’m actually shocked he didn’t cry … “I can’t breathe !!!”
