Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) is now blaming his violent outburst on Secretary Noem.
Padilla says that Noem should’ve known who he was.
Padilla takes no blame for invading Noem’s space unidentified, pushing DHS, and then resisting handcuffing.
Arrest him!
CNN: “Democrats say that Secretary Noem should resign. Is that where you are?”
Senator Alex Padilla: “That’s maybe not my focus right now, but I do think there are some serious questions. How does a cabinet secretary not know the Senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation at one point, and certainly, how does the Secretary of Homeland Security not know how to de-escalate a situation? It’s because she can’t, or because they don’t want to, and it sets the tone. Donald Trump and Secretary Noem have set the tone for the Department of Homeland Security and the entire administration in terms of escalation and extreme enforcement actions.”
