Padilla’s staffer, instead of getting involved and saying “Hey, this is a Senator” or trying to resolve the issue, instead just made sure to film the entire incident. Selected excerpts were then immediately released to friendly media.

Also, within just a few minutes of his being removed, all major Democrats were tweeting the same messaging of “outrage”.

There was another staffer there who was saying "he is a senator" - it is clear as day.

Exactly. Padilla FAFO’d. He doesn’t ok anything like a United States senator. Plus, he’s Democrat. He has no right to speak to Secretary Noem. If he has some sort of question, he can write a letter to Secretary Noem.

Trump needs to make an example of Democrats so they go away.

He didn’t try to ask her a question. He interrupted her and was shouting over her.

He was ruining the press conference for everyone with his theatrics.

He wasn't disrupting. He was asking a question at a press conference. The only disruption was when the thugs intervened.

Wasn’t disrupting?! Watch the video. He was interrupting and shoving agents to approach Noem. He needs to behave like a professional.

He was defending himself from their assault after he identified himself as a sitting US senator.

Nope. That's not what happened. He was rude, angry, belligerent, and disruptive.

If that is the standard why wasn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene when she interrupted Biden?

Biden’s a joke. So was Obama. They tried to insult Republicans like MTG, Joe Wilson and even Justice Alito. Padilla was different; he pulled a stunt.

Trump needs to make an example of Alex Padilla, and Mayor Karen Bass too for that matter. She doesn’t look anything like a mayor of a large city like you see in the movies. She has no right to speak to anyone in the White House, nor in Congress for that matter.

Someone keeps posting that people don’t have the “right” to speak. People have the right to speak; they don’t have the right to interrupt a press conference already in progress and shout over the person who is holding the press conference.

Why didn't Noem call off her goons when they shoved the Senator out?

at about :46 seconds Padilla starts to shout over Noem.

Senators can interrupt press conferences when they feel like it?

Shut the f up. If that is the case every reporter would be arrested. Go back to Fox and Twitter and await your masters’ orders.

Padilla/Bass = people of color
MTG, Wilson, Alito = white people

I am seeing the through line here.

They have a job to do. They are federal agents. You can call them names and disparage them all you want, but they have a job to do.

His right to shout over someone speaking at a press conference?

His right to interrupt a press conference?

His right to be an attention seeking jerk?

This is the MAGA wet dream. They want civil war against anyone who is not them.

“At that point [Padilla] is going to now be escorted out. You can't interrupt something like that that's already in progress without those consequences."
