By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Sen. Padilla does not look OK. This really traumatized him. It’s not right. They went after his dignity, as a POC. Their racism STOLE the dignity of a U.S. Senator. 🤯🤬 #GetAngry This was *the* most terrifying, uncivilized, degrading thing to happen to him *while* doing his JOB.🤬 Authoritarian.

Watching how Greta Thunberg and David Hogg get discussed even left of center confirms something I’ve long suspected. Tired people over 40 who regret their own choices hate nothing more than an earnest person under 30.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary.” In the video, you can clearly hear that he identified himself to the SS Agent that was pushing him. Why continue aggressively pushing him out? If he was deemed an “attacker,” why weren’t their guns drawn? Liars.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference? 🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed. This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!
