I disagree with this assessment. My understanding is that all attendees had already been checked for weapons before coming in, I.e., there was no credible reason to believe he (even unIDd) was a threat. On top of that he is a U.S. Senator OF THAT STATE w direct oversight authority OVER HER AGENCY 1/

"Our CNN security correspondent...said, just from a law enforcement perspective, Secretary Noem's security acted appropriately at the beginning.. trying to keep you away or get you out of the room, because you interrupted her press conference." If it were a reporter????? WTF is wrong with CNN

That building is where Padilla's office is...& he was there for another govt meeting
NO reason for this other than carrying water for a toddler president so baby doesn't throw a temper tantrum & block their access
💯
Instead she droned on making her speech with a deer in the head lights look on her face. Noem is in way over her head.
She'd just said they're in town to "liberate" the locals from the Socialist Mayor and Governor!!!!!! That sound like a Coup to me. Using the Military to topple the elected officials. She said the quiet part out loud!!!!

Tapper is a shill
Support independent media
On the other hand, if you have ginormous hair extensions, and you're dumber than a bag of hammers, does it make a legal difference? 😬
Watching the full interaction I don’t know how he couldn’t have interuoted at that point. If my Senator is ever present when the head of DHS starts talking about my city like a village in Afghanistan I sure as hell hope they stand up and say WTF!
That presser turned out just they way they hoped.
I know, Blue Sky really needs an edit feature.

I wondered w Tapper selling his ridiculous book: were they suddenly developing an odd sense of humor but now? They've crossed into crazy land - which definitely is not my preference for my news .
The Secretary of Hair Extensions wanted the spectacle for her future political aspirations.
dominance in propaganda will be severed as the modern media slaves for GOP adoration.
CNN's "both sides" and Padilla-didnt-identify himself arguments were plain wrong.
If not for Corey's quick chasing and yelling at the agents to release Padilla because he is a senator, the outcome for Padilla would have likely been worse.
The agent's mission is to squash dissent.
When they lack respect for themselves, how can they expect to have it for others ..
And Josh doesn't explain why one FBI guy was involved in an assault on a guy an(other?) FBI guy escorted to the room.
