Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) recounted the incident last week when he was ejected from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s press conference, with members of her detail forcing him to the ground and handcuffing him.

Padilla said that even though he was accompanied by a National Guardsman and an FBI agent, “I was pushed and pulled, struggled to maintain my balance” and ended up flat on his chest on the floor.

Video footage tells a different tale. It showed Padilla interrupting Noem by shouting and then resisting security’s efforts to bring him outside.
