Does Stephen A. Smith not fear being attacked by his “friends” in the Donkey Party?
Because if this line of criticism from him against party members keeps up, they will begin to attack him.
Don’t really care for him but he is spot on with this.
The Mexican senator was merely acting on his cultural heritage. He is the macho prince and he has the right to invade the female’s space.
Did they know he was a US Senator? He was in LA. He was dressed like a zhlub. He had no escort, no security pin, no staffers. He barged in and marched towards the stage. Yes escort him out and yes, detain him until they can verify he isn’t a threat and there were no charges to file.
His behavior was atrocious. Not the proper decorum for a US Senator. He later ranted about his free speech rights being infringed. No they were not. His right to speech doesn’t extend to inhibiting Noem’s free speech rights. This wasn’t a street protest it was in a federal building. His comrades later complained that he was prevented from doing oversight. More BS. Oversight does not mean you ambush a Cabinet secretary in the middle of a speech. There would have been plenty of time to talk later or ask questions if there was a Q&A session after the briefing. And indeed the senator and the secretary did sit and talk for 15 minutes afterwards. So all if his antics were just the racings of a lunatic trying to make the news. IMO he didn’t come across well. Maybe 30% of Democrats Will approve of this most everyone else will think he’s just a lunatic. Someone needs to primary him.
All the Leftists parroting that he was a US Senator and they treated him so poorly! Oh my, clutch my pearls!
He was handled the same way any person who barged in on a democrat making a speech and being rudely interrupted by that person.
So, he’s a senator... Are senators above the law, as Nancy Pelosi said even the president was not?
Thank you, Steven A Smith
A compliant fake media would have given him ample free prime airtime to try and twist this to fit the leftist narrative, but he just couldn’t wait. Poor impulse control. And this is a public servant. Surprised he didn’t try to rip her beating heart out of her chest.
A whole lot of people are emotionally immature and need to grow up.
Impulse control?? NOT!
Padilla is a sexist. Bullying women. What a disgrace.
Do not underestimate SAS when 2028 rolls around.
I doubt he could beat JDV in the general election, but he will be a force in the Democrat party.
If he positions himself as a JFK Democrat, he could have a big impact.
What does someone from ESPN need to ever say about a non-sports figure doing a political stunt?
He got what he deserved.
Padilla Gorilla takes himself too seriously. Everyone else is laughing at the Street Taco thug.
Seriously, Stephen Smith?
It was not “out of control behavior.” It was a carefully contrived political stunt designed to force security to act exactly as they did.
Given this bozo’s actions, security had no choice but to protect their Secretary as they did.
And it was a freebee for the Senator. He knew he would pay no consequences and yet get the footage to put online.
