Secretary Kristi Noem: "I don't even know the Senator. He did not even request a meeting with me or to speak with me. So when I leave here, I'll have a conversation with him and visit him and find out what his concerns were. I think everyone in America would agree that wasn't appropriate. That if you want to have a discussion, especially as a leader, a public official, that you would reach out and try to have a discussion."
The far-left won't like what I have to say here (which is what only CNN would call breaking news) but from looking at the the Senator's office own video here, Senator Padilla was in the wrong simply by trying to walk up to the Secretary of Homeland Security and interrupt her as she was speaking. But as soon as he announced who he was to those security officers, that should've been the end to it. Maybe they ask him for his official ID showing that he's a U.S. Senator, the Senator shows them that and they politely escort him out of the building.
But you don't take a U.S. Senator down, especially after he just announced himself and can prove that and treat him like a freakin criminal and take him to the ground. It's obvious that the Trump Administration doesn't like Congress, especially Congressional Democrats. That would explain most, if not all of President Trump's executive orders. But you don't treat representatives and senators like that, simply because they're trying to get answers to their constituents questions.
Hopefully Senator Padilla will now get his meeting with Secretary Noem and they can talk about what he wanted to talk about at her press conference. And she might just answer a few of his questions (especially since she wouldn't be under oath and not in public) and maybe they'll resolve this issue.
