[DURHAM D]

1. The video is scary as hell.

The Klan is in charge of everything.

[malaise]

2. Adding this link

I saw the confusion off Mike.
This is insane

[Cherrycheeks]

3. Yep. I was watching

And my son is trying to calm me down.😡😠

[Peacetrain]

4. Oh my gosh!!! malaise what happened...

Running for the TV..

[malaise]

7. She was making stuff up

He said something and her goons struck th way she attacked that puppy

[Emile]

5. Forcefully removed from a press conference. Fascists have no shame.

[travelingthrulife]

31. And thrown to the ground and cuffed by her goons.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. What is your source that he was arrested? Can't find it.

[senseandsensibility]

10. There is a chyron on MSNBC right now

saying that he was arrested.

[senseandsensibility]

28. Correction to my reply #10 above

There was a chyron saying that on MSNBC at the time I posted, but Padilla himself then said he was not arrested.

[madamesilverspurs]

8. What excuse will she give?

So far, none has been offered.

.

[malaise]

11. He dared to call her on her lies

M$NBComcast showing the video now

[Nictuku]

9. That is MY Senator!!

Reading about this here had me go upstairs to tell mom about it, and it was on her TV. I saw a clip of it.

It really enrages me.

[sop]

12. Video here:

[malaise]

14. I want every DUer to listen to her every word

This is insane on steroids

[sop]

16. That clip only shows him being forcibly dragged from the room.

The elected US Senator from the most populous state in America being manhandled by Noem's goons for pointing out her lies.

[travelingthrulife]

32. He was thrown down to the ground and cuffed in the hall.

[niyad]

44. A Dem senator from CA, with a foreign name.

[LudwigPastorius]

23. "We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this...

governor and this mayor have placed on this country, and what they have tried to insert into this city."

She talking about nothing less than Trump using DHS agents and the U.S. military to remove the democratically elected governor and mayor of the second largest city in the country. Whether they actually try or not, it is still absolutely batshit crazy that she is publicly stating this.

[Klarkashton]

13. Noem looks like a used up porno actress.

[GoCubsGo]

15. I hope he sues the shit out of her.

[malaise]

17. THIS

Absolute madness

I can’t process this

[senseandsensibility]

20. Noem is now saying that she didn't "recognize" Padilla

Sounds like she's claiming she didn't know he was a Senator, or that's her story.

[sop]

21. What Noem meant to say: "All those people look alike."

[wiggs]

27. This person should not have been assaulted, regardless of whether or not he was a senator. Senator,

representative, elected official, construction worker, interested voter, bystander of any kind...no reason for force.

[travelingthrulife]

33. Lies. Lies and more lies.

He clearly identified himself. Is English her second language?

[sop]

18. U.S. Senator Padilla was assaulted. Criminal charges must be filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.

[Nixie]

19. Omg, he is always so incredibly poised and gentlemanly. This is so

infuriating. It is so shocking to see this. Furious ,

The only thing I can think right now is they have to have their own press conferences right after these liars. Instant fact checkers and dominate the news. Don’t give these agitators a chance to lay hands on you.

[flamingdem]

22. Video of Padilla and photo of him thrown on the floor being handcuffed

Link to tweet

[Pesky1]

24. Beyond apalling

I'm stunned that there are so many goons in the U.S. eager to be part of the new Stasi.

[niyad]

45. Why are you surprised? They have always been here, it is just easier now

to consolidate them, and whip them into greater bloodlust, and licensed, sanctioned violence against their chosen enemies.

[AStern]

25. Don't tell us... he was waving a Mexican flag

[H2O Man]

26. Recommended.

I've just got in, and so I can watch the news. Things are spinning out of control now. It is purposeful on the maga's part, as violence is all they know. They lack conflict resolution skills, and thus immediately resort to force.

Years ago, a Clan Mother at Onondaga told us that when the world is going too fast to talk the time to go inside yourself to slow down. When people go inside themselves, it prepares them to emerge and fight the Good Fight -- without violence beyond self-defense.

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. Third world dictatorship.

Prove me wrong.

[JohnSJ]

30. Those thugs with FBI ON THEIR JACKETS and DHS, need to be sued

Watch Angela Alsobrooks on CSPAN on Senate floor speaking on this.

I doubt the Senate Democrats speaking on this will have the MSM showing this, but they must be held accountable for this outrage and criminal behavior from this administration.

[senseandsensibility]

35. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the anchor filling

in for Katy Tur on MSNBC. Framing this as a stunt several times in her questioning. Yeah, Padilla is the one pulling some kind of stunt here. She should go to FAUX.

[JohnSJ]

39. It is bullshit, which is why I am watch CSPAN.

[Paladin]

34. Fucking fascist police state. (nt)

[Miami Blue]

36. Impeach the poppy killer ASAP

She is just a pretender and TACO’s biggest toady.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

37. Protestant Christians Vs. Catholic Christians. House divided and all that jazz.

Re.Kristi: The pet-killin' lady doth Protestant too much, methinks.

[TommieMommy]

38. Absolutely horrible 😞

[DFW]

40. "Oh, give me a home, where the governor's not Noem"

I'm waiting to hear what Adam Schiff has to say about the treatment of his fellow California Senator.

[Warpy]

41. Be really intresting to hear the justification for that

Seems a bit extreme if his infraction consisted of nt being on the approved press list (Pox, OAN, and RT)

[spanone]

42. So trmp plans on removing the governor and mayor....???

HE'S SO FUCKING INSANE.

[malaise]

48. Yes

and he is insane

[dflprincess]

43. What got me was one of the thugs telling the staffer who

was filming to stop because it violated "FBI rights".

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

46. Fuck this gd racist sob regime !!

FUCK THIS GOD DAMNED FASCIST TRUMP REGIME!

FUCK THESE GESTAPO ASSHOLES FOR ARRESTING AN ELECTED US SENATOR

AN HISPANIC US SENATOR THROWN TO THE GROUND AND HANDCUFFED

[mac56]

47. Dog gone
