California Sen. Alex Padilla is getting plenty of mileage out of his scuffle with the Secret Service and federal authorities in Los Angeles Thursday. Padilla's Senate and campaign X.com accounts posted a total of seven outraged videos in the first 24 hours after the altercation. Viral videos of the incident show a Secret Service agent dragging a fuming Padilla out of a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and he identifies himself as a senator only as he's being pushed out the door. The agent then forces Padilla to the ground, while two agents handcuff him. Padilla, however, wasn't arrested. Within the hour, agents released him with no charges
