Lemon LIVE at 5 | What Just Happened to Senator Padilla? - June 12th, 2025
In a shocking and brutal display of authoritarian overreach, Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Kristi Noem press event in Los Angeles. And by “forcibly,” we mean tackled and dragged to the ground by Noem’s security detail because apparently asking questions is now a punishable offense.
So… this is where we are now? Elected officials being physically assaulted for showing up in their own state? Is this Kristi Noem’s version of “law and order”? Or just more of the GOP’s ongoing war on decency, democracy, and basic human rights?
Join Don as we break down the footage, the fallout, and what this all means for the future of political dissent in America. It’s giving fascism.
