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.

What makes you think they had any idea what his race is? He wasn’t a credentialed member of the press. They saw an unscheduled and unidentified guy rushing towards the front of the room and put a stop to it. It was the right thing to do.

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.

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?

In a press conference, Padilla said that he was at the federal building in Los Angeles for a scheduled briefing, when he heard that Noem was holding a press conference "a couple of doors down the hall."

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.

He's a democratically elected sitting US senator.

Incorrect. He was appointed to fill Kamala's seat. No one elected him. Just like Kamala wasn't democratically selected to run for her party's nomination.

He was appointed to fill Harris’s seat more than four years ago. He was elected in 2022, in a landslide.

He wasn’t yelling. Try again.

He was yelling at her while everyone else on the room was silent because she was addressing the press and law enforcement and the American people.

What if other people started “talking” while she was? Chaos. That’s why everyone else was quiet.

He is a special snowflake that he gets to talk while she’s is? Nope.

Yes and lunging at her towards the podium and resisting, if I were an onlooker i would be worried that he would be trying to assault . I mean anyone can yell out i am a us senator

He didn’t lunge. WTF is wrong with you people? Are you allergic to reality?

Did you watch the full video before they took him out of the room? He was lunging toward the podium yelling and interrupting that is very concerning, then when they tried to have him go out he started violently resisting.

It wasn't time for questions, and it's unclear if she would be taking any at all. This is clear grand-standing, and frankly it doesn't matter who he is.

I don't think this will have the impact the left thinks it will have on the voters they are trying to sway.

Can someone explain to me the "unprecedented" nature of this event?

Right? If you interrupt a cabinet secretary, you will be taken to the ground and handcuffed. Even if you are clearly identified as a senator. Sure. Happens all the time.

What could possibly be unprecedented about that?
