Unruly agitator? Padilla isn't the one shoving people around throwing them to the ground.

Padilla isn't the one who has an army of goons randomly shooting people including harmless journalists and random bystanders.

Nope, that would be Noem's violent unruly agitating goons.

The LAPD works for Kristi Noem? I was unaware of that.

Do you think federal agents had any clue who the rando rushing the press conference was. That was a stupid grandstanding maneuver by whoever that politician is.

DP. I feel like you’re missing the point so because they just profiled him as some rando Hispanic man and treated him like this that’s better to you? Also it’s not his fault they’re ignorant.

He actually identified himself as a Senator before speaking. They're just stifling anything resembling free speech.

You are blatantly lying.

He was shouting and rushing toward the podium before he identified himself.

How would anyone think that this random guy appearing unhinged is a senator?

Speaking isn’t “shouting”.

Stop lying. We can see the video.

He’s yelling over her while she’s got the floor.

He’s shouting over her as she is speaking.

So what? He was prevented from exercising his oversight rights as a sitting Senator. Cosplay Barbie and DHS has refused to answer questions or provide information.

LBH here if this was MTG being dragged out for doing the same, you would be going apesh--- crazy. And you'd be right to do so.

This is inexcusable, fascist behavior. Not to mention SHAMEFUL and unconstitutional. If you don't see that YOU are the problem in this country.

Interfering with a press conference hosted by a Cabinet Secretary is NOT exercising oversight any more than Congressional Representatives demanding entry to ICE facilities is oversight.

As for unconstitutional, please point to the exact phrase in the Constitution that supports disrupting a press conference - and arguably engaging in disorderly conduct (a crime).

😳 1A gives him the freedom to ask questions, my god.

If I tried to ask Noem a question the way he did, I would be in jail.

They were FBI.

And? FBI is law enforcement.

Can the DA press charges against FBI? IDK. I suppose Justice could, but all know that won’t happen either. Really, this should have happened yesterday, so there’s no point in us guessing.

No. The DA cannot prosecute here.

You wouldn’t have made it past the security to get in the building, so your point is not only dumb, but moot.

Why? What would the charges be?
You people are nuts.

Who the hell are you? Is it your responsibility to represent millions of taxpayers and what the heck is happening to all their money?

I was not arrested. I was not detained," Padilla said. "If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country."

Padilla didn't take any questions after first addressing the media Thursday.

Several posters have lied repeatedly and said Padilla was escorted into the room by law enforcement or federal agents.

That’s not true. He was in the building for a scheduled briefing, and heard Noem was giving a press conference.

He was not escorted by any leo or fed agents into the room where the press conference was being held.

He barged in and interrupted Noem, who took questions after she spoke.

The bolded is a lie. Why are you relying on some sort f what Padilla said that supports your narrative but not the other things he said that don’t?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blatantly performative stunt designed to get the positive "outrage" coverage it has indeed gotten, and to generate more as other actors --er, Senators -- feign indignation.[/quote]

I watched the whole exchange and saw exactly what happened. Padilla IMMEDIATELY began to interrupt the press conference. When he refused to stop, they escorted Padilla out. The group of people finished their press conference and took questions from the audience. There were several questions asked from a variety of individuals. Why couldn't Padilla wait like everyone and ask his questions? I'll tell you why, because he wanted to create a spectacle, to encourage law enforcement to escort him out. It was in fact, A PERFORMANCE and I would bet dollars to donuts, that he'll be on MSNBC and CNN front & center later tonight. Mission accomplished!

What I find most interesting is when Padilla stepped outside and conducted his own press conference, the crowd began to ask him questions but instead of providing answers for the press, HE WALKED AWAY. See what he did there?![/quote]

+1000

And predictably he is fund raising off his stunt.

Noem wants to liberate LA from her elected government. I would start yelling, too, if I heard that.

Whoever that security guy is, he better 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.

So he walked down the hall, told law enforcement he was a senator, walked in, and immediately interrupted Noem.

He’s a performative, unprofessional, actor.

So what?
We’re living in a Trump reality show.

He's a democratically elected sitting US senator.

Was it theatre? Yeah but at this point it’s all theatre. We have Gaza resort AI videos, Kristi getting dressed up as ICE Barbie and posing in front of El Salvadoran prisoners and MTG and Boebert yelling nonsense in congress all day. And the general public eats all of the theatrical stuff up like candy so why not get on their level. It works. The politics rule book got thrown out in 2016. It’s a free for all now.
