NPR: Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference.

Assistant Secretary Tony Pham: That’s right. He was trying to disrupt the press conference, yelling, speaking out of turn, rushing the Secretary.

NPR: All he wanted to do was ask a question.

Pham: No that’s not what he was doing.

NPR: He was manhandled.

Pham: That’s right.

NPR: He is a United States senator!

Pham: We don’t care who he is, whether he’s a senator or a guy off the street, it doesn’t matter. When someone tries to disrupt and take over a press conference by yelling, speaking out of turn, rushing toward the Secretary, refusing to respond to requests to stop, that person will be subdued. Especially given the light that these people openly embrace violence.




Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tony Pham

Padilla seemed genuinely unhinged. Noem's security detail did the right thing. Drunk?

His "question" was more in the form of an accusation...bout her hiring some criminals?

Also, it was telling that he wouldn't take any questions at his own news event describing what happened.

they think like Maddow that the riots show AMERICANS are pissed with Trump.

the rioters are La Raza radicals waving their flag.

Padilla practiced for a couple of weeks to play in the congressional baseball game yesterday…. then at the last minutes he bails on his team and rushes back to his home district.

Meanwhile a sitting governor could not answer what a woman is.

You could hear the hatred in the NPR woman's voice. It was a little shaky.

Padilla charged the podium of the Sec. of Homeland Security, during an insurrection, in the town the insurrection was happening, after being part of the cult trying to inspire violence against that administration, after a total of 3 assassination attempts on two of the members (Zeldin, Trump).

He's lucky he wasn't shot.

Pham provided security to Noem’s homeland. Just doing his job against a stooge who purposefully didn’t wear his senate security pin so that he could get a scuffle recorded on camera for his base to consume.

Of all of the possible outcomes that Alex Padilla deserves, what happened to him today should be the least objectionable.

The Dems are so desperate for a poster child that they're having to stage publicity stunts themselves, since none of their retarded sycophants in the streets are committed enough to the cause to earn the ultimate FAFO.
