The Worst Thing Trump Did on 6/12/25

I would say the manhandling of Senator Alex Padilla by Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem's henchmen is an undeniable winner.

I say henchmen because you can clearly see that these men don't have an allegiance to the US government at all.  They are there to ONLY serve Kristi and Kristi alone. That's not their job!  These guys weren't Secret Service, they were henchmen.

So 'Cosplay' Kristi, who is always playing dress up, had one of her highly choreographed media showcases, where she had her prepared statements and was going to 'answer' prescreened questions which she had practiced, to address the military being dispatched to attack US Citizens on US soil in Los Angeles, turing the military into a police agency to arrest people Kristi doesn't like, something Krisit was found to have encouraged our drunk Defense Secretary to do more of. 

The California Senator showed up at the event, and even though he clearly identified himself and was a person the Secret Service should have known to be A SITTING US SENATOR, he was wrestled out of the press charade and handcuffed in the hallway.  

It was clear that when he started to ask a question that Kristi wasn't prepared for, that THEN they grabbed him and took him out of the room.  This stunning level of authoritarianism was done just to prevent our incompetent Homeland Security Secretary from having to answer a question in public that she was likely not going to have a ready answer for.  For the Administration, the fake façade of competency is the only thing that matters.

A Noem spokesperson insisted the SITTING US SENATOR was an attacker, lunging at Kristi, even though, ONCE AGAIN, the senator identified himself over and over again to the hired thug henchmen.

Ever since, Kristi has tried to portray herself as the poor innocent victim, portray Padilla as a raging out of out-of-control criminal, and portray her having a 15-minute meeting with the Senator after the incident, behind closed doors, away from media scrutiny as some sort of benevolent charitable act.

If I were the Democratic Party, I would have a Senator or Rep. at EVERY Noem press fiasco from here on out.
