Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla is forcefully removed from Noem’s news conference and handcuffed

All they had to do was ask him to please wait his turn, not throw him on the ground and cuff him for God's sake.

Why does every MAGA response to a problem have to involve brutality and punishment?

Padillo created the problem. All he had to do when confronted was stop trying to push through the agents blocking him.

At his press meeting outside the federal building why did he refuse to take questions? At the end, not while he was still speaking as he had just done, a reporter asked, "Why did you interrupt the press conference . . ." He walked away.
 

All they had to do was ask him to please wait his turn, not throw him on the ground and cuff him for God's sake.

All he had to do was show due decorum. He can ask questions willy nilly but refuses to accept and answer reporters' questions? He provoked the situation and made hay from it.

Where is the due decorum in prohibiting a United States senator from walking to the front of a room?

Secret Service/FBI protection.

If the administration thinks it needs Secret Service protection form US senators, this country is in worse shape than I thought.

As senator Murkowski said, "not the America I know."

Look around. This isn't the America I hoped for. The electorate divided into two warring camps. Each side relentlessly demonizing the other.

Look forward to November 3, 2026. Vote third party wherever possible.

Youre blaming Trump's tyranny on the two party system.

Why would you treat someone you know so brutally?

Republican Senator Murkowski is outraged over his treatment. Why would she lie about what happened?

Nobody is buying yalls bullshit narrative. Padilla tried to create an event to claim fascism and he was so bad at it(like your constant deflection attempts) that its completely obvious it was all an act.
 
The Democrats are so incompetent that they couldn't even come up with a believable fake controversy.

I watched the whole tape. I didn't see or hear Padilla until he had been grabbed. Did something happen earlier, before the tape?

Ask @CLAX1911 , he has apparently seen a video that no one else has.

All Noem had to do was say hi to her acquaintance, the senator, and ask him to wait until she was finished speaking before asking his question. It is her side that created the event.
 

That flaming BS needed to be interrupted.

The two party system is at fault for the government treating a US senator as a common criminal. Ok.

You do muddle things up.

You wrote: "Youre blaming Trump's tyranny on the two party system."
I replied: "I'm assigning blame to both major parties."
