Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., suggested on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s original campaign was responsible for raising political tensions to the point of the weekend shooting of two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses.

On CBS’ "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan asked Padilla, who is a ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, if there have been any new discussions on security measures for lawmakers.

Padilla said there were "a lot of concerns" in the wake of the shooting, but he was more interested in discussing how they got to this point.

"I think it's more than appropriate to step back and say, why are tensions so high? Not just in Los Angeles but throughout the country," Padilla said. "And I can't help but point to the beginning of not just the first Trump term, but the beginning of the campaign, the tone with which the president had launched his first campaign for president, served throughout his first term, and continues in this term."

Monday marks the 10-year anniversary of Trump announcing his run for president on June 16, 2015.

Padilla went on to use himself being forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles last week as an example of the Trump administration's escalating political tensions in plain sight.

"For a cabinet secretary during a press conference to not be able or be willing to deescalate a situation when I was trying to ask a question, that’s just indicative of the tone of the administration," Padilla said.

Sen Padilla was 100% in the wrong.  He did not identify himself until he was seized.  He entered the room and began shouting while Noem was speaking.  He appeared to be intoxicated to me. 

The Dems lack any professional behavior, they think they can destroy cities, kill people if they desire, and not be held accountable for their actions.  At a minimum, he should be sanctioned by the Senate.  Once again, the Dems appear to be the lunatics they are.  They just can't find a way out of the hole they dug for themselves.  Their criminal embrace, the embrace of transsexual nonsense and all the alphabet soup bullsh*t has destroyed their party.  And last but not least, their total embrace of illegal invading aliens, particularly their embrace of violent illegal invading alien criminals has turned off voting Americans to the Democommie Party.  I have referenced their becoming the Degenerate Party, and that could not be more true.

When you begin losing union leadership and the rank and file members, you should know there is definitely something wrong with this picture.  But they are clueless.  We need more voters to awaken to just how bad the Democommies are.

Padilla might not be the dumbest person in America, so he better hope that person doesn't die.

He stormed in there not dressed like Senators (suit and tie) and without even announcing who he was. Sure, security stopped him. As they should have.
No respect for the event, no sense of decorum, and pretty embarrassing for a Senator to behave that way. Senators can pretty much get a microphone on demand.

FAFO.
