Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed outrage on the Senate floor after a disturbing video surfaced showing Senator Alex Padilla being forcefully subdued by federal agents. Padilla attempted to engage with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference when he was tackled, handcuffed, and ultimately zip-tied on the ground. Schumer called for immediate answers regarding the incident, highlighting the seriousness of the assault on a sitting senator and the implications for civil discourse in government.
I just saw something that sickened my stomach. The manhandling of a United States senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on, Schumer said.
I'm Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary, Padilla could be heard saying as four staffers grabbed him.
