Democrats outraged after federal agents handcuff Sen Padilla at Noem press event

You have a lot of places to choose to get your message out to the press if you are Mike Johnson room presidentR-La.

It is better to get your message out succinctly, clearly and without interference.

Thus, when Johnson decided to boast of the house delivering the first bill to codify the Doge Cuts and reduce $ 9.4 billion in the USAID and public broadcasting, he left just outside the house of the house and in a crowd of journalists gathered by the statue of Will Rogers.

“Republicans will continue to provide real responsibility and restore budgetary discipline,” said Johnson.

But the statue area of ​​Will Rogers is a major artery of the Capitol. Currently, Johnson spoke on Thursday, dozens of Democrats in the Chamber went to the office of the majority of the Senate John Thune, Rs.d. They demanded answers on the reasons for which the federal agents launched Senator Alex Padilla, D-Calif., On the ground and handcuffed him during a press conference in Los Angeles With internal security secretary Kristi Noem.

When Johnson finished talking about the under-tension of money for public broadcasting and USAID, journalists only wanted to ask Padilla.

Yours really included.

“Federal agents went too far,” I asked. “Was it a bridge too far?”

A long line of anger Democrats of the Chamber Possessed in front of Johnson in the corridor Will Rogers. But because Johnson chose to speak in such a very treated place, the Democrats were the origin of Johnson while they were heading for the Senate.

“Yes, it was!” Cried an unidentified democrat as she was passing the fray, answering my question for Johnson.

But Johnson immediately pivoted in what Padilla did, getting up at Noem’s press conference to shout questions from the back of the room.

“It was extremely inappropriate,” said Johnson de Padilla when he spoke to the Capitol Press Corps. “You do not charge a secretary to the seated cabinet …”

“It’s a lie!” cried another unidentified democrat.

“A lie!” cried someone else.

Representative Sam Liccardo, D-Calif., Stopped to scold something at the speaker. But it was impossible to hear the din.

“He acted like a senator,” accused the representative Dan Goldman, Dn.y. “Why don’t you defend Congress!”

“Can you answer these people who have timed you Mr. President?” I asked.

“I’m not going to answer it,” said Johnson.

The pulsed capitol at this stage. The crushing of the Democrats of the Chamber broke into Thune’s office, which was in the White House.

Lucky.

The Democrats then crossed the rotunda and spilled into Johnson’s office.

“When the chamber president refers to a member in office of the US Senate Who simply attempted to exercise his first amendment rights as a thug, we are very concerned about this, “said the president of the congression of the Hispanic Caucus, Adriano Espailt, Dn.y.” The president and the chief Thune should intensify the moment and preserve the institution of the congress, which is a balance in democracy and the important balance in democracy. “”

A legislator who did not join the angry democrat crowd was the representative Madeleine Dean, D-PA. Dean was held with apprehension just beyond the journalists’ wall and outside the invisible bubble created by Johnson’s security details. When Johnson finished speaking, Dean tried to unravel the security ring to have a civil conversation with the speaker.

“Mike! Mike!” said Dean, trying to capture Johnson’s attention. “It’s Madeline.”

Johnson finally realized that “Madeleine” was not a journalist who did not try to press an additional question for the speaker. But someone he obviously knew. A legislator. Someone from the whole aisle with whom he must have a friendship and a working relationship.

Johnson and Dean spoke in silent tones while they were quietly crossing statuary. Some in the press body followed, trying to divide what they said. It was not an out of stage cat in the suite of the speaker or on a private telephone call. But he fell into a very public part of the American Capitol.

The conversation continued as the duo stopped next to the “British marches” near the speaker’s office. Dean hugged her two hands in the fists while she and the speaker were about to separate. She slightly touched Johnson on the right arm while he died in the speaker’s office.

“Thank you, sir,” said Dean.

“What are you talking about the speaker?” I asked the deputy.

“I just want to keep it for myself,” replied Dean. “But the only thing I wanted to say is that it is the president To lower the temperature. Everyone is ignited. And restless. But it starts with the president. He said, “I’m talking to the president,” said Dean.

But other Republicans may have tried to compose the temperature by exploding Padilla.

Padilla left Washington earlier in the week to be in Los Angeles during the riots. The senator was to start the first base for the Democrats during the Congress baseball match on Wednesday evening.

The Republicans accused that Padilla should have stayed in Washington.

“He is responsible for running for work so as not to go and make a show,” said the whip of the majority of the Senate John Barrasso, R-Wyo.

“The fact that he is in California and not at DC Although the Senate votes means that it is not as anxious to do its job here, “said the head of the majority of the Senate, Steve Scalizes, R-La.

SCALISE conceded that he had returned home to Louisiana when the hurricanes threatened the state. He argued that he “would not go home to try to stir the anxiety against the federal agents who came and will help us get back on my feet”.

The scandalized democrats have tidated the Senate soil, hiding against the fate of Padilla.

“This is the fabric of dictatorships. This actually happens,” said senator Brian Shatz, D-Hawaii.

“It’s contemptible. It’s disgusting. It’s so non -American,” said the head of the Senate minority Chuck SchumerDN.Y.

“I think it’s unprecedented,” said senator Mark Kelly, D-Ariz. “It’s unpleasant, and it’s rather climbing.”

But indignation was not limited to democrats.

“I saw this clip. It’s horrible. It’s shocking at all levels. And it’s not America I know,” said senator Lisa Murkowski, “R-Alaska.

The band of democrats who rushed to the Thune office never found it. But at dusk, Thune said he had spoken to Padilla, sergeant of the Jennifer Hemingway weapons and tried to contact Noem.

“We want to get the whole scope of what happened,” said Thune.

This is addressed to the backdrop of the federal government which accused the representative Lamonica McIiver, DN.J., for having attacked federal agents in a detention center in Newark earlier this spring. These episodes rocked the congress.

The legislators wonder what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot. And despite the partisan chasms, they are all legislators. They know that if something like it can happen to Padilla, well, they could be the next.

Confidence and trust decrease.

“I hope that chef Thune and other Republicans will be able to bring us from the edge,” said Shattz. “But I’m no longer sure.”
