LOS ANGELES – ICE agents for Homeland Security are in Los Angeles rounding up “the worst of the worst” illegal aliens, and Secretary Kristi Noem was there to bask in the success, only to have a Democratic U.S. Senator storm into her press conference and raise a ruckus, which led to handcuffs and a photo-op for the triggered lefty.
According to Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California:
“I was in the Federal Building in Los Angeles today to meet with federal officials as part of my job to provide oversight and accountability of the administration. While I was waiting for a scheduled briefing with General Guillot, I learned that Secretary Noem was having a press conference just down the hall. We have repeatedly asked the Trump Administration for answers on the deployment of military forces and the needless escalation in Los Angeles over the last week — and have gotten limited to no information. I attended Secretary Noem’s press conference in hopes of getting some answers. After identifying myself and trying to ask a question, I was aggressively pushed out of the room, forced to the ground, and handcuffed. If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.”
Noem responded, saying she met with Padilla after the incident.
“After he interrupted our press conference with law enforcement, I met with Senator Padilla for 15 minutes. We probably disagree on 90% of the topics but we agreed to exchanged phone numbers and we will continue to talk—that is the way it should be in this country. I wish he would’ve acted that way in the beginning rather than creating a scene.”
Meanwhile, some are calling for a Congressional censure of Padilla for instigating the fracas at the press conference.

If what Padilla did was going beserk, I wonder what we should call January 6th 2021.
Yes, calling it berserk is a bit much. It was his job to question what they were doing and he did it, which Kristi Dumb apparently didn’t like.
