Kind of like January 6th and how all of those criminals got fair trials and were convicted and then how Trump pardoned them all????

Okay, I suppose, if the next time Boebert and MTG cause a scene they can be shackled.

Nazi shit.

I have seen the video... he just looks like some guy, not in a suit, no Senate Pin for ID and he does not say he is a Senator until they have him and are moving him out of the room. And there is the fact that he looks a little unhinged, TBH.

Hypothesis: above

Evidence: Unless its J6. Or I don't like the law. Or my fellow citizens.

And "virtue" in the age of Trump? Classic.

Sure, trump et al want to escalate this kind of thuggery on the part of the GOP Administration.

It diverts attention from trump et al's ongoing attacks on states' rights and elected officials. It also thrills MAGA members who want these displays of punishment and retaliation against Democrats.

Yeah, Trump and Johnson are trying to make sure everyone is not paying attention to the economy, the Epstein files, how he didn't stop the war and all his other broken promises.

So will the goons that touched him when he didn't commit a crime.

You need to actually watch the video. He comes barging in towards the podium, doesn't ID himself until they have him detained and out of the room

The US Senator was arrested for entering a press conference and asking a question. Only a fascist considers that FA. Putin arrests opposing voices. There is no free speech in North Korea. This is Nazi shit. In your face Nazi shit.

No. It is not Nazi shit. Did you even watch the video?

No. Getting arrested for barging in and heading to the podium, interrupting a press conference and then ignoring security's commands to stop and then he resisted being removed and did not ID himself until they removed him from the room.

 
I harken back to that time when Saddam Hussein got all the politicians together and then called certain names and one by one they went outside and were shot.

Now, the Trump Administration is not taking politicians outside and shooting them but what they are doing is they're going into neighborhoods and schools and disappearing people. We will never even know where the majority of those people disappeared to. Or how much money the Trump Administration is spending to make them disappear.

Your indignation is so full of shit it’s overflowing.

Who said I’m indignant? I was gleeful because the senator was prevented from using the press conference as an opportunity to engage in political grandstanding or turn it into a circus like activist Democrats do on occasion. It was almost comical. Like Captain Rex Kramer, Secretary Noam didn’t miss a beat. 😆

 
"A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said that Padilla “chose disrespectful political theater and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.”

She said Padilla was told to back away and didn’t comply with officers’ commands, and that Secret Service officers “thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.”


Nobody is above the law. Right, Democrats? ☺️

Should the state of the union also have these rules?

Do you mean rules about not charging at the podium and creating a disruption?

Do you have an incident that you are referring to?

Barging is not what happened. The reporters in the room said he stepped forward and interrupted. Charging or barging isn't in that video.
 
ASHES said:
Disturbing the peace can't be used to restrict someone's first amendment rights. If you don't want him to speak, someone affiliated with the venue must ask him to leave. Failing that, it isn't any law enforcement officer's job to enforce speech rules.

They werern't. They were enforce protocol rules and disturbing a press conference rules...

ASHES said:
That video hasn't been released yet. Wonder why.

Democrats better learn to bring their own security / muscle whenever they go to a Republican event.

Otherwise they're going to continue to get abused / roughed up. Because that's what the mafia and dictators do.
