🔰Elizabeth Warren calls Alex Padilla's removal from briefing a 'horrifying moment'

This is a horrifying moment in our nation's history. Today, United States Senator Alex Padilla was violently removed from a public briefing for asking questions on behalf of the people he represents. People in California who deserve answers about the brutal crackdown on protesters. I've watched the video, as many of you have as well. Let me just describe what it shows. Officers pushed Senator Padilla backwards out of the room as he said the words, I am Senator Padilla, I have questions for the secretary. He was then shoved to the ground when the senator complied with the officers and went on his knees. He was forcibly pinned onto his stomach. He was ordered to put his hands behind his back. He can be heard on the video saying he is trying to comply with their orders. Officers then put handcuffs on the senator while he was lying on the ground. His staff was then told to stop recording the handcuffing. He was put in handcuffs for asking a simple question. He was put in handcuffs for doing his job as a United States senator. He was put in handcuffs for standing up for the Constitution of the United States. He was put in handcuffs for representing the people of California.
