Noem lies and says Padilla didn't identify himself and lunged at her. Video ho different.

[Rigby5]

He is a dangerous left wing knuttjob

But since he is duly elected, she was legally required to answer his questions.
He has oversight duties, and she is required to comply.

 

[Rigby5]

Padilla is a senator. That doesn't give him the right to disrupt a press conference. He was aggressive toward an official of the US government and was neutralized. IOW he FAFO. If a democrat like Piglosi was in charge he'd be six feet under like Ashlii Babbitt.

YES it does.
She is required to answer to him whenever he gets an opportunity to question her.
He is above everyone else there.
No one should have been able to touch him legally.
Since they did, they all should be arrested.

 

[Rigby5]

FBI says he wasn't wearing his security pin.

Bye bye, Mr. Padilla.

Security pins are not needed since she knew who he was, and so did all the security.

 

[Rigby5]

he was dressed in plain clothes and not wearing his Senate ID badge .. good on security for stopping what could have been a potential threat .. or do you believe anyone should be able to attend a press briefing , claim to be a member of Congress and approach a gov official without showing ID ?

Nonsense.
There are not that many senators.
Everyone there knew who he was.
And he outranked everyone there.
It was illegal to touch him, much less drag him out.

 

[sartre play]

Yes and you are all wise and knowing.

A U.S. senator enters a press conference and then resists while being escorted out.

But this is what you focus on.

You are as bad as the worst of them at deflecting from the primary issue with your little side trips.

And you say people are disconnected ???

Have no idea how why or what really happened, Limited film being shown.
Some how it may end up that two wrongs never make a right.

 

[Rigby5]

You goldfish fall for anything. Senator Padilla is a large man and he moved toward the stage which was COMPLETELY for show and to provoke the response HE WANTED from Secretary Noem's security. Try thinking for a change. Padilla had a press conference a few minutes later all PER HIS PLAN.

Does not matter, the point is Noem violated the law.
She was legally required to answer to the senator who essentially is her boss.

 

[Rigby5]

He didn't identify himself until after he made the lunge and was pushed back. Try again.

Everyone there knew who he was.

 

[Rigby5]

If a member of the press starts shouting and aggressively moving towards the speaker they gonna get bounced...

That is because a reporter is unknown and subordinate.
A senator is well known and her boss.

 

[Rigby5]

yelling at someone in a press conference isn't oversight.

Congress' oversight capability is in congress, not at some press conference.

Wrong.
It is exactly at a press conference with the public audience, when a senator should grill a subordinate.

Does not matter, the point is Noem violated the law.

It certainly does matter. This Padilla guy saw his chance to get his mug on TV and he took it. Completely staged, he made an aggressive move toward her provoking security. He then gave a press conference MINUTES AFTER being "roughed up". LOL

 

[struth]

The video cleary shows a member of the Senate walking into the room and identifying himself as "Senator Alex Padilla" and saying he has a questions for the Secretary, and being attacked by security and pushed out of the room. It's a "press conference"! That a place where people ask questions!!!!

Why did they push a man to the floor and handcuff a Senator, after he clearly identified himself? This was an attack intended to intimmidate a sitting US Senator. Those who manhandled him, should be arrested and charged.

The video shows him interrupting a press conference, bum rushing the sec and only saying he’s a senator while being removed for his saltine behavior

[Concerned American]

He was also given an audience with Noem for fifteen minutes to ask any question he wanted without disruption of an official proceeding.

Citation?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Democrats have KILLED and RAPED over 200,000 Americans. You scum should really avoid that discussion.

You did not deny it.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Next up nationwide martial law.

 

[BULLDOG]

Hey, moron. One doesn’t interrupt the conference at the very outset, at that, to ask questions.

You’re a phony.

Well, no. He didn't say anything until she said trump a liberating the city. Liberating from duly elected officials? It doesn't work like that.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

But since he is duly elected, she was legally required to answer his questions.
He has oversight duties, and she is required to comply.

He wasn't duly elected.

 

[Nostra]

He smacked nobody, and you know it. He identified himself on camera as a sitting US Senator, and you know that, too. It does not matter, if you do not like him, as being from the other side.

He wasn't wearing his badge. You clowns have been pissing your Depends over the lie that ICE isn't wearing badges. How does anyone know this idiot is a Senator? Security did what they are supposed to do.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He was also given an audience with Noem for fifteen minutes to ask any question he wanted without disruption of an official proceeding.

Disrupting the proceedings is what he wanted to do.
