The Democrat Party is willing to tear the country apart to regain power. That should be incredibly evident after the past week. Encouraging foreign soldiers to riot and burn down cities is not a sign of a mentally healthy party. To keep the Democrats’ street crazies ratcheted up to 11, a Democrat US Senator pretended to try to physically attack DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference about immigration enforcement. For his efforts, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) ended up face-down on the ground and in handcuffs.
The incident was recorded from multiple angles. After all, Padilla’s legislative aides were in the room before him and had their phones running—because they knew what was going to happen.
Padilla barged into the room, approached DHS Secretary Noem, and then lunged at her as if he were going to attack her. You’ll notice in the video that Padilla only identifies himself as a US Senator after the FBI security guards at the event had grabbed him. He knew they would physically manhandle him and shove him out of the room if he didn’t identify himself first.

When you watched the video, you probably thought the same thing as the security guards did.
“Who’s this guy?”
Padilla deliberately wore casual clothing. He knows that he’s largely unrecognizable to most people. It’s not as if he’s an accomplished Senator. He knew they’d grab him and get physical when he lunged at Secretary Kristi Noem.
For those who don’t know, Padilla is a former Los Angeles City Council member. After that, he was in the California state senate for a while. In 2015, he ran for California Secretary of State.
Padilla was running against another California Democrat named Leland Yee. While he was running for Secretary of State, Leland Yee purchased automatic rifles and shoulder-fired missiles from an Islamic terrorist group in the Philippines.
Go ahead and read that last sentence again. It gives you a good sense of what California’s elected leaders are really like.
Leland Yee went to prison for arms trafficking, and Alex Padilla easily floated into the Secretary of State position.
Diaper Joe picked California Senator Kamala Harris to be his vice president. After the 2020 election was stolen, Harris’s seat in the US Senate was vacant. Gavin Newsom then appointed Alex Padilla to replace her.
So, if you ever run into Alex Padilla, you shouldn’t think of him as a US Senator. You should think of him as a “Gavin Newsom appointee.”
Radio host Jesse Kelly weighed in on the Padilla situation.
“To get elected and stay elected as a Democrat in the year 2025, you must constantly signal to the street animals that you are one of them,” he wrote on X. “This is currency in the rotted filth that is the Democrat Party.”
That’s certainly true. But anyone who has studied communist and anarchist movements will tell you that this also looked like a probe.
Even though we all think it’s a little funny that a Democrat Senator got face-planted, this is a big deal. The security guards are now going to be smeared on the national media for the next few days. There will be a review of the tactics they used. One of them might get fired.
The agents may have already been doxed by the time you read this. Their families will be receiving anonymous death threats from Democrats. All of this weighs on the agents working on protective details. Not just on the agents protecting Secretary Noem, but also the agents protecting everyone else in the administration. They’re human beings with families and they will be put under a tremendous amount of pressure just for doing their jobs.
So, the next time one of the Democrat Party’s thugs gets a little too close to Kristi Noem—or President Donald Trump—maybe the agents hesitate just a little too long before grabbing him.
An agent might think, “If I make the wrong call here, I could get a ton of bad press and lose my job.”
Hopefully, the Secret Service and other protective details know all this. (If we know it, they probably do as well.)
Alex Padilla will also get his 15 minutes of fame as a “civil rights hero” because he stood up for stinky illiterate foreigners instead of for his American constituents. The Democrats don’t have any policies that people support these days, so they’re reduced to theatrical stunts to try to get “Likes” on social media.
