Sen Padilla (D-CA) threatens Sec of DHS
2025-06-13
[X] BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem fires back at Democrat Senator Alex Padilla — who’s now claiming mistreatment after storming a DHS press conference.

"I think his statement is actually ridiculous."

She laid out exactly what happened from her perspective.

"This man burst into a room, started advancing towards the podium, interrupting an opening statement, elevating his voice, shouting questions."

"People tried to stop him from interrupting the press conference, he refused and continued to lunge towards the podium and that is when he was removed from the room."
-------------------
all the Democrat media is trying as hard as possible to frame this as 'Senator put in handcuffs' etc. making Padilla the victim.

#6  It is AGAIN a secret service FAILURE. He should have been shot, immediately. Repeatedly. A lifetime supply. Act like a terrorist, die like one.

#5  Given that he was in plain clothes with no ID and no warning, I almost wonder if The Honorable Senator from California wasn't hoping to get a few bruises to show off on C-Span.

That'd be my guess. He knew what would happen and he did it anyway for the street creds.

#4  It was a hair brained stunt. Was posted on X even before the cuffs went on. And 6 hours later no one cares because Israel bombed Iran.
