    What makes you think the PSD did? If Padillia staff was there filming the incident, why could he have not sent one of them to let Noem's PSD and staff know he wanted to attend the PC? Why has his staff filming when he walked in? Why would Padillia not take questions from reporters afterward when his staff was giving out copies of the video they took?

    Again, just playing politics for their side. Embarrassing.

    So you’re thinking somone who wasn’t there would know better of what happened than someone who was there?

    He announced he was a senator but when did he announce it? One video showed him announce right away but others showed him announcing after he was already stopped. Why the difference?

    He probably announced it both times. When he first entered the room and again when he was being removed. Most of the videos only begin after he was surrounded by the law enforcement officers (FBI, Secret Service or both not really clear) they don't show him entering the room which explains the difference.

    That commie clown thought he can barge in on a DHS press conference... trying to intimidate Kristi Noem.

    NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW...

    Being detained and arrested are two different animals. Jeez. Or it’s another photo op to feed the hysteria?

    Let me see if I have got this time line correct.

    A week or so ago the LA riots started

    Thursday night Senator Padilla was pulled out of the congressional baseball game because all of a sudden he was needed in LA.

    Friday he charged into Kristi Noem's press conference making a scene.

    Interesting he just happened to be in the same building Kristi Noem was speaking in a day after he was scheduled to play 1st base but left all of a sudden.

    Padilla’s stunt bit him in ass - I did hear him ID himself but not until PSD was taking him down- however, it matters little. He went in there hoping to get taken down so he could cry wolf.

    BTW, the Republicans embarrassed the dems in baseball, yet again. 13-2.

    Wasn’t aware he pulled out of the baseball game. Guess it’s more important to him to go through this theatrics than to support this fund raising game

    Yep he was scheduled to start at 1st base but something more important came up at the last minute.
