   We have the Iranian regime collapsing, riots nationwide, and a lunatic   
   who shot two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. Still, please, Sen. Alex   
   Padilla (D-CA), talk about your scuffle with federal agents a week ago   
   that no one cares about. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was   
   delivering remarks at a presser in Los Angeles during the riots when   
   Padilla bum-rushed the podium. He only identified himself after he was   
   being manhandled by federal agents; even CBS News had to admit that. CNN   
   also wasn’t all that impressed with this stunt.   
      
   On Sunday, the man played the ‘don’t you know who I am’ card, which   
   again fell flat. No one knows who you are, man. You acted and looked   
   like a lunatic. Also, rushing the podium like that amid riots in LA and   
   the overall violent rhetoric directed at Trump and his officials from   
   the Left, the Secret Service was right to take him down (via The Hill):   
      
   Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who was forcibly removed and handcuffed at   
   a news conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem   
   earlier this week, questioned the meaning behind Noem not recognizing   
   the senator from California amid the incident.   
      
   “What does it say about the secretary, to not know who the senator from   
   California is?” Padilla asked while talking with CNN’s Dana Bash on   
   “State of the Union.”   
      
   In an interview on Fox News’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on   
   Thursday, Noem said that “nobody knew who” Padilla was amid the   
   incident.   
      
   “I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful or disruptive, I don’t think I   
   was,” Padilla said of the incident. “I was simply asking a question.”   
      
   Dude, we’ve seen the video—enough. Also, you spoke with Noem for ten   
   minutes after this incident and exchanged numbers, so please spare us   
   the theatrics. Today, Padilla wasted everyone’s time again, crying like   
   a soy boy about this incident which no one gives a baker’s #$%^ about.   
      
   Padilla the pendejo, your time is up. Go away. And next time you decide   
   to ask a question, please think back to your seminary about how to   
   identify yourself as a US Senator when you’re not wearing your lapel   
   pin. Every member of Congress gets that talk to avoid being hassled, so   
   again, myth busted, sir. You knew what you were doing.   
      
   Also, this is hilarious:
