They claim he didn’t identify himself, but the video shows he clearly states “I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have questions for Ms. Noem”
why does anyone care what “they” claim at this point? It’s probably 70% straight up lies.
70% straight up lies.
Only 70%… I see you’re feeling generous today.
I’m sure if he knew what was going to happen, he would say “puppy killer Noem”.
Cory Booker’s response speech is pretty incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4_H_KNAakE
Apparently the House is now considering a motion to censure… Padilla… Fucking Mike Johnson
That title implies something far less violent than what happened to him. You can detain people without tackling them to the ground.
Aren’t all members of congress exempt from arrest while performing their duties?
Isn’t everyone exempt from arrest when just asking questions?
I never imagined I would see a US Senator get manhandled to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents for asking questions at a press conference.
I’ve imagined it. I’ve also imagined worse, and I’m fairly certain I’ll see it in the not to distant future. Trump is almost at the ‘kill legislators and judges’ stage of his fascist takeover.
I wish nothing but the worst possible outcomes for every single person within the trump regime.
I hope that their loved ones turn their backs. I hope that the rest of their lives, and the end of their lives, are filled with fear, regret, pain, and crushing loneliness.
And honestly, that is only the things that can be said. I wish far worse in these terrorists.
