The Padilla detainment is awful but don’t miss that Noem promised to “liberate” California from the elected officials they chose.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!
