Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla says FBI agents escorted him to a Kristi Noem press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, where he was swarmed by security, contradicting the Trump administration's version of events.

The Homeland Security Secretary was addressing the policing of this week's anti-ICE protests in the California city, which saw President Donald Trump controversially send in the National Guard and Marines to keep order, when Padilla spoke up to ask a question and was roughly wrestled to the ground by Secret Service and FBI agents and eventually led away in handcuffs.

Noem, the agents, and the White House have since insisted that the senator "lurched" at the secretary. Still, Padilla insisted this was not the case, offering his own version of events on last night's episode of MSNBC's The Beat with Ari Melber.
