A very good video of the Padilla assault and the lying liars

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220394592This is the only video I've seen so far that shows the entire incident from start to finish. And malaise bless her drunken, stupid heart thinks the video proves Noem lied about what happened. The video clearly shows Padilla attempted to push past security to approach Noem
without identifying himself. He only identified himself as he was being escorted out of the room. And he was then released as soon as they confirmed his identity. Even the CBS reporter commented on the fact that no one knew who he was and, if he wanted to ask a question, all he had to do was wait for the Q&A session after the briefing. Padilla's press conference after the fact was, of course, more grandstanding. Even CNN has called it out as nothing more than a political stunt.
Her thread has almost 500 views but only 4 responses because even the DUmmies are smart enough to realize that the video proves that Noem's version of what happened is completely factual. Their attempt to score some political points off this has neither legs, nor toast.
