He charged the podium then resisted officers as he was being removed and tried to rush at the stage again. FAFO
J6ers got placed in Biden’s gulag for less than this.
Another angle:
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly removed from a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on Thursday.
“I’m Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. … Hands off me,” Padilla said as law enforcement pushed him out of the room.
Responding to a question from a reporter about Padilla, Noem claimed that “he did not request a meeting with me, or just speak with me. So when I leave here, I’ll have a conversation with him and visit and find out really what his concerns were.”
“I think everybody in America would agree that that wasn’t appropriate, that if you wanted to have a civil discussion, especially as a leader, a public official, that you would reach out and try to have a conversation,” she said, adding, “I’ll visit with the senator and find out what his concerns are.”
Padilla’s office said in a press release sent out shortly after the incident that the senator is not currently detained, and that they are working on getting more information.
FAFO, motherfucker.
Throw the book at his ass.
