As an aside noem was whining about her agents being doxxed while jack booted thugs were abusing a US senator

Some facts for the magat scum

1. This occurred in a highly secure federal building, so the idea he had a gun is ludicrous

2. Padilla was there for a meeting with head of US Northern command about the military operation.

3. Padilla was escorted to his meeting by FBI and HHS (?) personnel

4. When his meeting was postponed and he learned of the press conference he was escorted to that press conference by FBI and HHS (?) personnel

5. He was wearing a shirt that said US Senate, clearly visible

6. It is patently absurd that Noem's security or Noem did not recognize Padilla-Padilla is the ranking Senator on the subcommittee that oversees immigration

7. He responded to Noem's statement about liberating LA and was IMMEDIATELY confronted by security consisting of FBI and apparently Secret Service members.

8. He immediately identified himself by name and title

9. Noem has refused to respond to Padilla and his subcommittee's request for information

10. It is patently absurd that the FBI and, again, SS (possibly) did not know exactly who he was when he entered the room as he was escorted by other FBI agents.

11. Noem IMMEDIATELY lied about the encounter

So, all of you ----- can ---- off with your lies. And, oh btw, THIS is why you are held in disdain, you defend the indefensible with lies.

Oh and bill you farking idiot, Padilla is brown no black.

and

"I've read they didn't realize he was a Senator" is just simply preposterous

Chuffy,
They did walk him in and he was seated behind the press but when he stood up and approached the podium while Noem was speaking, that is considered rushing the stage in security terms.
Yes, he objected. Yes, he wore a Senate polo. And yes, he identified himself while being taken down. But DHS says they didn't recognize him, didn't see a Senate pin, and saw his approach as a threat.
The truth is, both things are possible.
He didn't intend harm and security still saw a treated this as a threat.

You know what is funny, if this is your best defense that is nothing more than the admission that the FBI, Secret Service and HHS security were all grossly incompetent.

It is insane to think that they did not know who the ranking ------- senator for the Senate subcommittee is and if they didn't they should immediately be fired.

Yes I am saying that exactly bill

If you think otherwise you're a ------- idiot

HE WAS ESCORTED BY FBI AROUND THE BUILDING

HE WAS TACKLED AND HANDCUFFED BY FBI

For the slow witted

Security details have earpieces and are in constant communication

Each FBI agent KNEW Padilla was there, KNEW he as going to the presser and KNEW who he was

That is the way ---- works

Truth,

Again...

Did they knowingly tackle a Senator?

Show some b**** and answer the question.

Yes or No?

Yes, Bill they knowingly tackled a US Senator as evidenced by the fact he told them he was a US Senator immediately before they tackled him

This is evidence that magat scum are too stupid to understand what they are looking at and hearing

On top of that how do you think security details work? You think they just show up and stand around?

NO

They get a briefing on everything going on in the building. There would be constant communication between all security forces. They would screen people entering the building (very thorough screening btw). They would have been aware that the Podilla meeting was taking place. They would have been made aware that Podilla was going to the presser, since the FBI were providing security for both Podilla and Noem.

This is INCREDIBLY basic stuff but too much for some to understand.

Again, if they DIDN'T know who Podilla was they were GROSSLY incompetent.
