Don’t forget shortly before Padilla was manhandle, Noem said this
On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
“We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and from the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country what they have tried to insert into the city.” – Kristi Noem just as Senator Padilla was dragged out.

Senator Alex Padilla was attending the press conference and wanted to ask questions of Noem. He was NOT attacking Noem, but HE was attacked. He certainly had the right as an American of freedom of speech, but not according to the goons who threw him to the ground.
