"He was being disrespectful". That's the reason given by Noem's thugs according to

[mobeau69]

Chris Murphy on the Senate floor.

[MineralMan]

1. That's against the law now?

Oh, no, I don't think so, Ms. Noem. I think you need to rethink exactly who the fuck you think you are...yes, that's it.

[Demovictory9]

62. My question too

[orangecrush]

2. Gestapo Barbie, fuck you

Hows that for disrespect

[JT45242]

3. Would like to know US code violation that is

Otherwise it's unlawful detention and a potential list of other crimes and civil offenses

[sop]

4. It was a public press conference in Los Angeles, and Padilla is the U.S. Senator representing California!

Moreover, Senator Padilla is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

WTF? This is an outrage.

[republianmushroom]

23. This is republican governing.

[Basso8vb]

26. He was also born in LA.

[Irish_Dem]

34. If he doesn't have a right to be there and ask a question, then no one does.

[Ms. Toad]

35. And she claims not to know who he is? Right. n/t

[SheltieLover]

5. No. She was disrespectful to her innocent puppy.

He asked a question.

Big difference!

[Irish_Dem]

6. The Trump Crime Syndicate is the most disrespectful group of people in the US.

[bdamomma]

30. I'm

surprised Noem didn't say he was being "nasty" that seems to word going around.
Oh, don't disturb her spilling her lies all over the place!!!!!

[Irish_Dem]

32. She said he didn't identify himself and rushed towards the podium.

She is trying to say her life was in danger.

I am steaming.

[bdamomma]

46. Reading reminds me of that Representative

who did not what to use the ladies bathroom because the other Representative was Trans-Gender?

[Irish_Dem]

48. Reminds me of the congresswoman who keeps accusing every one of assaulting her.

[bdamomma]

51. Yes

we are both thinking of the same, but what's her name????

[Irish_Dem]

54. Attention Ho Nancy Mace.

[bdamomma]

61. ......

[spooky3]

57. Nancy Mace?

[bdamomma]

59. Thank you

spooky3, that's who she is!!!!!

[mwmisses4289]

55. Too bad for her that there were lots of cameras of

various sorts showing that wasn't the case.
She needs to resign...like, yesterday.

[Irish_Dem]

56. Trump will give her a promotion and raise.

[bdamomma]

60. Maybe

even cosmetic surgery Mar la Loco special. Look like a clone!!!

[Ocelot II]

7. You wanna see disrespect, ICE Barbie?

I got some disrespect for you, you puppy-killing, botoxed, silicon-enhanced, Mierda-Lardo-faced, ignorant, cosplaying, fascist, Trump-humping waste of oxygen.

[newdeal2]

8. He didn't ask nicely

We are going down a slippery slope here folks. 2026 may be too late. Get out and protest while you still can.

[bdamomma]

31. Yes, we have

protests all over the country, nothing will stop us now.

You know our Democratic leaders take their cues from us. Let's practice our Rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peacefully.

[Hey Joe]

9. Nazi Noem

Is an abomination.
The whole lot of them.
Must say, I never thought I would live to see the day when our government went fascist.

[lame54]

10. Hey Noem. Respect is earned and you're broke

[Irish_Dem]

37. She is bankrupt.

[JohnQFunk]

11. Translation: The brown man was not kowtowing to the lily-white Nazi.

That is all.

[republianmushroom]

25. Nails it.

[Ping Tung]

12. "....being disrespectful". Isn't that the excuse she used to justify murdering her puppy.

It's a good thing that the senator is lacking a tail to wag.

[malaise]

13. You are the head of Effin Homeland Security and you do not

Know the Senators from,the state you are in. You don’t have fucking protocol people for these situations.

Fuck you.

We have people who can identify officials at funerals.
to avoid simple issues.
Fuck this fucking shit.
ENOUGH!

[Marthe48]

39. She knew good and well who he was

and so did her thugs.

Every person who doesn't support the nazi thugs overrunning the U.S. had better wake the hell up.

[LAS14]

14. What was Padilla's question? Guardian story and one other didn't say. nt

[mobeau69]

15. Someone there will tell us soon.

[Ms. Toad]

47. Not clear.

He was cut off. He introduced himself (name and position) and said he had questions for the secretary. As he was being manhandled out of the room, he started with, "The fact of the matter is, a half a dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your . . . " and that's as far as he got before he started responding to the people shoving him with, "Hands off."

[Brenda]

49. Here's NBC's article about what happened:

"I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary," Padilla said to Noem, which prompted several men to physically push him out of the room. It was unclear who the men were, as several were dressed in plain clothes.

Padilla's office shared a video of the incident with NBC News. The video shows Padilla being taken into a hallway outside and pushed face forward onto the ground as officers with FBI-identifying vests told the senator to put his hands behind his back. The officers then handcuffed him.

Speaking to reporters later Thursday, Padilla said he was receiving a briefing from military officials when he learned Noem was in the same building and decided to join her briefing.

"I was there peacefully," he said. "At one point, I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed."

He should sue and someone, anyone in fucking authority in California should arrest the men who did this to him for assault!

[get the red out]

16. Pure evil is "disrespectful"

Not questions.

[Vinca]

17. Well, given it was a press conference there are plenty of witnesses. Roll the tapes!

[delisen]

18. Disrespectful? Nonsense. Padilla was wearing a suit.nt

[mobeau69]

36. FTR: He was dressed in tasteful, casual clothes.

[JoseBalow]

19. Respect My Authoritah!

[Iris]

20. That's not a reason.

[mobeau69]

40. IKR. That's the point.

[mackdaddy]

21. DEFUND the DOJ

They are useless and dangerous to our democracy at this point.

[republianmushroom]

22. Since when is being disrespectful to a DOG killer, criminal and warrant cuffs ?

[Tree Lady]

24. Can you imagine if democrat president was in office

and we sent Homeland Security to Texas, held a press conference and knocked down, handcuffed a republican senator what Texas would do and what republicans would do?

They would go bat shit crazy and so should we! This should not happen ever!

Republicans are always rude, yelling crazy shit and we have never dragged them off like that. They might have been asked politely to leave or taken away by security but NEVER knocked down, handcuffed and dragged out!

[CNYHarris]

58. Exactly

Russia operation Grey Zone interrupted a Secretary of State:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tUVNI0EsRmM

The Senator from California outranks a Russian media operation Grey Zone in terms of oversight of a Cabinet official. Noem is not a cabinet official, she is only cosplay, she is really Schutzstaffel of a fake government run by nazis.

[EnergizedLib]

27. I don't want to hear a thing about disrespect from these 'people'

As soon as we get power back, it should be gulags for all of them.

[rzemanfl]

29. I am thinking upside down at gas stations.

[rzemanfl]

28. Oh, I certainly have the vocabulary to be very disrespectful to her.

Should I tape my rant?

[Irish_Dem]

41. We could demonstrate what disrespect actually looks like.

We can give her something to be upset for real.

[MW67]

33. He should sue over first amendment rights violations

Would seem to me he should have a case if they physically assaulted and removed a known state senator, immediately and they have no other reason but "he was being disrespectful" which is rich coming from these folks, what they actually did is remove him for speaking in a way they they didn't like

[mobeau69]

45. FTR: He's a United States Senator, not that it matters.

[MW67]

64. Thanks for the correction

Sounds like criminal charges should be pressed against those who did the assault as well as a lawsuit

[LetMyPeopleVote]

65. Welcome to DU

[bdamomma]

38. Did the

Senator even ask his question or was he apprehended before he even asked???

[mobeau69]

50. I don't think so. As soon as he attempted to in the middle of one of her lying filibusters they jumped on him.

[bdamomma]

52. This is not good.

Are these thuggish Felon Loyalists going to start having Democratic Senators who ask questions to be taken away before they even ask a question?

[Irish_Dem]

42. People who don't kiss her ass are disrespectful.

[Brainfodder]

43. If that is the .... how is .... still ....

Mind boggling missed obvious partisan fuckery episode: 4,555,666?

[Johonny]

44. Trump turns the US into shithole country

[sinkingfeeling]

53. Gee, I guess Biden should have had MTG and Boebert dragged out and handcuffed during his SOTU speech.

[viva la]

63. Appropriate when the other isn't worthy

Of respect.
