That could have happened but he kept shoving on his way out so things escalating. Disgraceful behavior on his part. |
I totally agree MTG (and Lauren Boebert) needed to be thrown out for their bad behavior. But they weren't, were they? And that's on the Biden administration. You sound completely unhinged. |
So Noem defenders here have falsely claimed:
"He rushed the podium" - he didn't, he was nowhere near the podium, he was standing at the edge of the room "He lunged" - he didn't - he was lunged at when he tried asking a question "He shoved officers" - he didn't, they put hands on him and shoved him repeatedly, he did not put his hands on the officers and in fact can be seen deliberately avoiding doing that and so on. Noem defenders, you need to stop lying. He was bumrushed, shoved around, thrown to the ground and handcuffed for trying to ask a question. And, as a Senator, it IS HIS JOB to ask government officials questions and to hold them accountable. Whether or not you like it is not relevant. This is an incredibly bad look for this administration. It's a disgrace. |
Senator Padilla was downright polite compared to the nutcase Republicans. |
They did what they should have done. This is a nothing burger. You cannot burst in press conferences. |
The video shows him continually pushing the agents even as he was escorted out. He deserved this. |
Ridiculous. This administration is a complete clown show and all of this is self-inflicted, through poorly-thought-out policy and even worse execution of said policy. |
LMAO puh-leeze. It was a couple of wimpy little security guys struggling to push on a guy who was basically just standing there. |
Pretty telling that they can only defend this by lying |
It's clear to see in the video that Padilla is a big guy, clearly taller and more body mass than the officers pushing on him. If he actually shoved them believe me the officers wouldn't have been on their feet. Stop lying and gaslighting us pretending like Padilla was being violent. You insult us with your lies and it needs to stop. |
MAGA has literally brainwashed people to not believe what they can see with their own eyes. |
The administration is running scared and this is all they have - lies. |
We can all see him shoving the agents with our own eyes. Gaslighting fails when there is video evidence. |
