"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.

The video shows him continually pushing the agents even as he was escorted out. He deserved this.

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.

Oh please, you can see that the officers aren’t exactly scrawny themselves.

Whoever that security guy is, he better I have a good lawyer, because he’s gonna be going to prison soon.

Rambo Barbie, meanwhile, is done. This is the end of the ride for her.

They did what they should have done. This is a nothing burger. You cannot burst in press conferences.

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.

All he had to do was keep his hands to himself and show ID. No one is buying his sob story.

We can all see him shoving the agents with our own eyes. Gaslighting fails when there is video evidence.

He is not shoving, for the millionth time. When somebody grabs you, the body’s instinct is to react. Nobody can resist this in an instant. It’s impossible to stand and do nothing. I don’t know why this has to be explained. We were wired with survival instincts.

You can hear him clearly identify himself early in the video.

Watch the whole video, not just the selected portions on Fox News. He identified himself first, before he did anything else. He was immediately approached, which is when he physically reacted. This is all on video, for anyone to see with their own eyes.

All Noem had to do was recognize he was trying to ask a question and ask him to give her a moment. Why is Noem so afraid of questions? She works on behalf of the American people and needs to be prepared to answer questions posed by the people’s representatives.

He showed ID to enter the federal building and he was escorted into the press conference by FBI and the National Guard before saying “I’m Senator Alex Padilla” in the video. Everyone knew who he was.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Shouting questions during the opening statement and advancing on the cabinet member. This is all acceptable?

Why didn't he wait until Q&A started.

We all know the answer. He wanted to make the news.

Why would he need to show ID? Noem knows him. He’s the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration. They work together, or maybe she’s not doing her job.

Susan Collins is concerned

Of course he wanted to make the news. I'm positive, though, that he didn't expect to be forced to the ground by armed agents. This is a whole different thing. Some Americans value our freedom, some clearly don't. We'll see where it lands, but this is only going to escalaet from here.

And let's add that he actually did show ID to get in, even though everyone involved did, and if they didn't, should have known who he was.

I think this was totally political theater but it has to be done. I think the public wants to see democrats fight for their constituents and that’s what they are doing and showing that they aren’t asleep at the wheel. Playing nice, professional, and logical is over and it’s been a failure. You have to fight dirty and get people emotional to beat MAGA.
