Damn that right wing propaganda machine is hot! The video clearly shows the senator identifying himself, which Noem says he didn’t do.

What was this called in Brave New World? New Speak or something?

Wake up people. We are losing our democracy. I can only hope the propagandists are Russians and not real Americans.

Spanish speaking guy you’ve never seen before, dressed in street clothes, charges toward the DHS Sec. while yelling.

He’s not wearing his security hard-pin, didn’t previously identify himself.

It’s your job to handcuff him.

If she doesn’t know who Senator Padilla is then we have a fu(king problem, Houston. He is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety. She should absolutely know who he is then she is NOT doing her job.

This.
Norm should have acknowledged his presence and requested he give her a chance to finish her remarks and tell him she would be happy to respond to his concerns

Noem did none of this and is a poor cabinet secretary.

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.

Explain. Exactly what law did he violate?

Shoving a federal agent.

Watch the video.

I watched the video. He identified himself and asked a question, and instantly started getting shoved and manhandled by security for no plausible reason. Maybe you only saw the edited-down FOX News version.

He did not identify himself until he already started moving aggressively toward the podium. At that point the SS had not choice but to remove him.

I think YOU saw the edited version that his aide took. Which makes me wonder why the aide didn’t intervene and tell SS who the crazy man was. Maybe they wanted a viral moment to show that Padilla is “pushing back against this administration.”

Wow that guy is scary he lunged back with the police holding him back. Wild

Oh, yes. White women only have to fear of men of color. Noem will take care of that!

She deserves to be fired AND rot in hell (for those who believe it).

That’s a reporter, not a “legal expert.”

Probably should have said "security" expert - which is even more pertinent. He should know what response was warranted. He is right.

Josh Campbell (born August 31, 1983) is an American correspondent with CNN, former U.S. intelligence community official, and military veteran. He serves as an adjunct senior fellow and national security policy researcher with the Center for a New American Security.

Campbell previously served as a Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation conducting national security and criminal investigations. His assignments included deploying in response to international terrorist attacks and kidnappings, overseas tours embedded with the CIA, U.S. Special Operations Command, and Department of State, crisis communication manager for counterterrorism, cyber and counterintelligence investigations, and was appointed Special Assistant to the FBI Director. He was awarded four FBI Combat Theater awards for his work overseas in conflict zones.

Yeah. Kind of spoils the echo chamber, huh?

No, it just demonstrates that you all have no thoughts of your own. You can only echo right wing trolls on social media.

He identified himself as a senator before the thugs started manhandling him. You can hear his staff saying "he is a senator"

What utter BS.

It’s so wacky to me that people who are fine with non uniformed people in masks abducting people off the streets find a Senator who announces that he is a Senator and then asks questions objectionable. No principles, just party.

Goes along with protect the federal officers or yeah, it’s fine to pardon violent insurrectionists who assaulted officers on January 6.

Noem on Padilla: We had a conversation with the senator after this. We sat down for 10 to 15 minutes and talked about the fact that nobody knew who he was. He didn't say who he is until he was already had been lunging forward, and people were trying to detain him for quite a period of time..And if he had requested a meeting, I would have loved to have sat down and had a conversation with him, that coming into a press conference like this as political theater, it's wrong and it does a disservice to this country

Wow. The cognitive dissonance. Trump could shoot people exactly like he said. It’s truly mind boggling to see the brainwashed say utter BS that everyone can literally see.

That tells me everything I need to know. CNN and every mainstream media is MAGA money-hungry.

Or maybe they watched the video and are speaking the truth.
