Democrats thought they had the perfect scandal to attack Donald Trump.
A United States Senator getting roughed up by federal agents seemed like political gold.
But a CNN analyst left Democrats in stunned silence with one reality check about Kristi Noem.
Kristi Noem lays down the law on immigration enforcement
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference to announce President Donald Trump’s bold strategy to restore law and order in Los Angeles.
Trump had already deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to crack down on the chaos Democrats have allowed to fester in the city.
Noem was addressing the press about the ongoing immigration enforcement operations when the disruption occurred.
Democrat Senator Alex Padilla walked to the front of the room while Noem was speaking and rushed the stage during what wasn’t a Q&A session.
Law enforcement wasn’t about to take any chances with the Secretary’s safety.
They immediately restrained Padilla and dragged him out of the room before he could cause further disruption.
The whole scene played out like something from a banana republic rather than a civilized democracy.
Democrats cry fascism over security doing their job
The media immediately went into overdrive spinning the incident as another example of President Trump supposedly imposing fascism on America.
Democrats and their allies painted Padilla as some kind of heroic figure standing up to tyranny.
According to reports, Padilla did identify himself as a Senator during the incident, saying "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary."
However, security personnel were unaware of his identity when they initially responded to what they perceived as a disruption.
Given that President Trump has already survived two assassination attempts, security wasn’t about to take any risks with a high-ranking cabinet official.
But the Democrat narrative about fascist overreach got completely destroyed by an unexpected source.
CNN analyst crushes Democrat talking points
CNN law enforcement analyst Josh Campbell delivered a devastating blow to the Democrat spin machine during an appearance on the network.
Campbell told host Kasie Hunt that security acted completely appropriately in the situation.
"From a law enforcement perspective, we’re really looking at three separate incidents that happened within a short period of time," Campbell explained.
The CNN analyst methodically broke down exactly why law enforcement had no choice but to act.
"First, you have the DHS secretary who was addressing the press. This was not a Q&A period, and she was interrupted. She was interrupted by someone who was speaking very loudly. And so her security detail confronts what we obviously now know to be the senator. And at that point, he is now going to be escorted out. You can’t interrupt something like that that’s already in progress without having those consequences," Campbell said.
Campbell’s analysis completely demolished the Democrat claim that this was about political persecution.
Padilla escalated the situation himself
The CNN analyst didn’t stop there in his defense of law enforcement’s actions.
Campbell went on to explain that Padilla was at fault for escalating the situation and forcing security to take stronger measures.
"The second incident, in my view, happens the moment — as officers are trying to lead him out — he then turns and walks back towards kind of into those agents. At that point, from a security detail perspective, we’re taking this person out against their will. We’ve asked the person — and again, this is all happening very quickly — but the moment he then turns into them, they realize this is not someone who is going to comply," Campbell explained.
Campbell’s professional assessment makes it crystal clear that Padilla brought this entire situation on himself.
Security gave him every opportunity to leave peacefully.
Instead, he chose to physically resist and escalate the confrontation.
Democrats’ insurrection strategy backfires spectacularly
The incident perfectly captures how the protests against President Trump’s immigration enforcement operations continue to create tension in Los Angeles.
Instead of winning sympathy for their cause, Democrats like Padilla are making themselves look unhinged and dangerous.
The American people elected President Trump to restore law and order to cities like Los Angeles.
They’re not going to be swayed by Democrat tantrums and theatrical displays of resistance.
When even CNN analysts are calling out Democrat behavior as inappropriate, it’s clear the party has lost the narrative battle.
Law enforcement deserves support, not attacks
The men and women in law enforcement risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe.
They don’t deserve to be attacked by Democrats for simply doing their jobs.
Secretary Noem had every right to hold her press conference without being interrupted by grandstanding politicians.
Security personnel had every right to remove someone who was disrupting the event and potentially posing a threat.
The fact that the disruptor happened to be a Democrat Senator doesn’t change the basic principles of security and decorum.
Democrats show their true colors
This incident reveals everything Americans need to know about today’s Democrat Party.
They claim to respect institutions and norms when it suits their political purposes.
But the moment those same institutions work against their agenda, Democrats abandon all pretense of civilized behavior.
Padilla’s outburst was nothing more than a political stunt designed to generate headlines and fundraising dollars.
He showed complete disrespect for the office he holds and the institution he represents.
Kristi Noem stands strong for American families
While Democrats throw tantrums, Secretary Noem continues to focus on the job President Trump gave her.
She’s working tirelessly to secure America’s borders and remove the criminal illegal aliens who have terrorized American communities for too long.
The deployment of National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles sends a clear message that the days of Democrat-enabled chaos are over.
American families deserve to feel safe in their own communities.
President Trump and Secretary Noem are delivering on that promise, regardless of how many Democrat politicians try to disrupt their efforts.
The American people are watching, and they can see which party stands for law and order and which party stands for chaos and disruption.
