Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem publicly condemned Senator Alex Padilla for his disruptive behavior during her press conference, where he was forcibly ejected by Secret Service and FBI personnel. Noem described Padilla's actions as escalating the situation and characterized them as political theater. In response to criticisms from Democratic representatives, she maintained that Padilla's conduct was inappropriate for a U.S. Senator. Video footage appears to contradict her assertion regarding the timing of his identification. Noem expressed a desire for a constructive dialogue with Padilla in a private conversation post-incident.
So the way that he acted was completely inappropriate. It wasn't becoming of a U.S. Senator or a public official. Watch above, via Fox News.
I would have loved to have sat down and had a conversation with him. Coming into a press conference like this is political theater.
