Noem, the FBI & Trump Just Sent a Message to America: the Police State is Not Coming--it's Here

https://hartmannreport.com/p/noem-the-fbi-and-trump-just-sent-3ee

Senator Alex Padilla asked a question. The regime answered with fists, lies, and a chilling promise: “We’re not going away.”

We’re now living in an early-stage police state.

After California Senator Alex Padilla was assaulted for saying, “I’m Senator Alex Padilla and I have question for the Secretary,” DHS Secretary and notorious puppy murderer Kristi Noem went on Fox “News” and lied to the American people, saying that he hadn’t identified himself, she didn’t know who he was, and that he was “lunging into the room.”

The violence inflicted on Padilla was the point. And it’s being celebrated in real time by MAGA, Fox, and the Trump administration.

After all, dictators can’t be dictators without first cowing the people, terrifying even elected officials, and asserting their absolute and unlimited power to use violence any where, any time, and under any circumstances they choose.


“We are not going away,” Noem said in a snarling comment that provoked the question from Padilla. “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor [Newsom] and that this mayor [Bass] have placed on this country.”
