Dem Senator Finds Himself In Face Down In Handcuffs After Immigration Publicity Stunt

Be careful when you play the ‘do you know who I am’ game. You might discover you are not nearly as important or influential as your job description says you are.

There are only 100 people in the United States senate. It’s an exclusive club, making its members some of the very most influential people in the entire country. But let’s be honest: even among that group of 100, how many could you actually name?

Not even being senator for a state like California will guarantee you will be a household name, as Senator Alex Padilla was surprised to find out.

Secretary Noem was holding a briefing to explain what was going on with the ICE raids. The Senator interrupted the event, shouting questions at her. It didn’t go well for him.

Democratic U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was shoved, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a press conference on Thursday held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about immigration raids.
“I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” Padilla said during the press conference in Los Angeles, where Noem was discussing protests in the city over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. — Reuters

There’s video, of course.

The short one that Democrats WANT you to see:

When Alex Padilla was CA Sec. of State, his office sent an email to Twitter 1.0 saying that “dc_draino is spreading election misinformation”

Weeks later I was banned for “election misinformation” for almost 2 years

Now I’m back on X with 2.2M followers and he’s getting arrested… pic.twitter.com/yJfTpqjrRk

And a longer one showing him trying to shove past security.

Notice how Democrats don’t show this longer video that clearly shows Alex Padilla getting violent with federal agents?

This one shows him trying to drown out Secretary Noem during her presser:

Okay here’s video of the start of the Padilla Clown Show. You can’t see him but you can hear him shouting over her, and I don’t think he was identifying himself to anyone until after they started trying to stop his clown showpic.twitter.com/5HTBwAnTQC

Context matters:

Rep Byron Donalds shows the exact reason we all know the entire incident was just more Democrat showboating for a viral incident.

Sen. Padilla didn’t want answers—he wanted airtime. Shoving past security for a viral moment is a stunt, not leadership. If he cared about solutions, he’d have asked for a meeting. But like most Democrats, he just wants the spotlight. – Rep. @ByronDonalds pic.twitter.com/f4Y6aAXrse

Even Stephen A Smith gave him hell for being a shmuck.

🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith GOES OFF on Dem Sen. Alex Padilla over behavior at Kristi Noem press conference🚨

“You — a United States senator — couldn’t compose yourself and let the head of Homeland Security finish her thoughts before you asked a question?”

“Couldn’t do that, huh?”… pic.twitter.com/L5tf46pP3k

When the left rages, just remind them of how many times they threw hecklers out of their meetings, or insisted on the arrest of Republicans that got on their nerves. If he wanted answers and not just attention, he could have just asked.

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… pic.twitter.com/WdDs26jyCY

And the cherry on top?
