The Democrat outrage machine has been firing on all cylinders following the debacle with Senator Padilla.
Disgraced Mayor Pete Buttigieg posted:
Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty. pic.twitter.com/iPIlR4U5Fv

Despite the theatrics of the left, the truth is far from an “abuse against American liberty.”
The Gateway Pundit corrected the record,
Federal agents forcibly removed Padilla from the room, pushed him to the ground in a hallway, and handcuffed him. The senator was later released without charges and subsequently met with Noem for approximately 15 minutes.
Multiple television cameras and recording devices were operational throughout the entire press conference, capturing every moment from beginning to end.
Yet the video clips being circulated by major news outlets consistently begin at the point where physical contact between Padilla and federal agents was already underway.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming that “Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands.”
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino similarly stated that Padilla “physically resisted law enforcement when confronted.” These official accounts suggest there was a period of verbal warnings and escalating non-compliance before physical force was employed.
Conservative outlets like Fox News emphasize Padilla’s lack of Senate security pin, his failure to properly identify himself initially, and describe him as “storming” the press conference.
This is a prime example of why no one trusts the legacy media or the Democrat outrage machine.
