He’s not allowed to interrupt anyone who is speaking. He’s done this to get attention.

Anyone who did what he did would get removed from the press conference. If they resisted they would get the same treatment.

This is political theater 101.

Like all these MAGA morons interrupt Senators as they try to ask them questions during official hearings? Where Senators can’t get a word in? You want respect, earn it.

Interruption is one thing. Shoving forward is another, and a security threat to be dealt with. He learned.

More importantly, he went from a nobody to a national leftist celebrity. Mission accomplished.

People are ridiculous. The body’s instinct is to push back when being handled. It’s nearly impossible to not resist when grabbed. How do people not understand this? He wasn’t pushing an officer, his body and instinct was to resist being grabbed.

I doubt there is anyone on the planet who could stay still when forcibly grabbed. You can’t easily overpower instinct. Especially in an instant.

Protecting a Cabinet Secretary. La Di Da. Whoopie Frickin Doo. So she's a cabinet secretary. So what? He's a US senator, which is no less important than a cabinet secretary. And in fact she's had to sit in hearings giving him testimony. So this BS about not knowing who he was is COMPLETE crap.


Maybe the MAGA weirdos would be happier if he had brought his security goons to fight her security goons instead? WWE? Linda McMahon?

What a bunch of dopes you all are.

Um….. she wasn’t lunging and yelling at him.
It wasn’t her call. She didn’t even see him. She continued to address the media while the secret service dealt with the unhinged man.

Please define unhinged and explain in what way he was that?

You can't make up what we saw with our own eyes.

This is not true. Perhaps you are an eager MAGA troll? Many of us on DCUM have organized press conferences for cabinet officials. First of all, we know who is in the room. Second, you will find multiple instances of cabinet level officials simply deflecting a hostile question. For example, by stating that the first amendment protects the right of the questioner. Condi Rive did this fairly often during the Iraq war. She did not send out goons to tackle the person asking the question. Furthermore, one would think the DHS secretary would recognize the face of the ranking member of the judiciary subcommittee on immigration.

This was a national disgrace. Anyone who thinks it’s ok can pack up and move to Russia. Or China. Give it a try if you think full on authoritianism is a winning solution.

Too lazy to pack up and move? Rent the film “the lives of others”.

They were 'protecting' her???? From what? Inconvenient, uncomfortable questions? No, sorry but that absolutely does not qualify for roughing someone up, shoving them to the ground and handcuffing them. Absolutely not. GTFO with that crap.

Of course she has security that provides protection.

Protection from questions at a press conference?

Secret service agents go where their subject goes. If it is a press conference, they go.

It wasn’t Secret Service, and you completely missed the point.

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?

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.

Isn't one of their jobs to know who the 100 Senators are, especially one from the state they're currently in?

Nope. They are trained to look for the ID and senate pin the senators are supposed to be wearing.

Have you never been in a district beyond the beltway? Senators and reps often do not wear pins when meeting constituents or visiting the state.

No one is above the law. He should have shown his senate pin and identified himself prior to engagement with officers, not shoved the agents and followed legal orders. No arrest occurred.

Anyone rushing into that room, ranting and screaming while Noem is giving a live interview is going to be stopped. He doubled down by turn back to her after he was told to stop push his way back to her and now he is a threat and was treated accordingly.

He looks positively insane and unhinged.

She looks like a nutter who can't control her staff.

Please it pressure on Thune. You can send a quick email through his website. I told him if he didn’t act swiftly I’d use all my tax cut $$ to support his opponent.

GEEZSUS, MAGA Lies and more Lies. You obviously can’t help yourselves.

The TRUTH is that U.S. Senator Padilla acted in a perfectly acceptable manner, he did not push or charge or erupt at anyone. He simply asked a question. It’s all on record and easy to find the unedited video.

QUIT LYING MAGA!

FBI agents, under Kristi Noem’s authority, committed Assault and Battery on U.S. Senator Alex Padilla. It’s been confirmed by Patel/Bongino that these were FBI.

She said that?!?!?!?!?

Yep. I guess Trump means to overthrow governors and mayors and hand pick new lackeys.

Every single day is literally worse than the previous day. Our rights are being stripped away a little more with every passing day. No free speech. No right to peacefully protest. According to Noem, no right to elect our own politicians.

Once these rights are gone, it will be nearly impossible to get them back. I’ve told my college-aged kids that they might want to consider building their lives in another country once they graduate. I never thought I would say those words to them.

All of this and it's heartbreaking.

Don't be heartbroken. Get angry and do something to fight it.

Agree. Come on people. Everyone needs to wake up.

People are doing everything they can. Pay attention to the mobilization happening on Saturday.

Have we learned the names of the FBI agents who attacked a sitting senator?
