Todd on Padilla: We Don‘t Know What Kind of Threats the Security Detail Was Dealing With, It’s a Tense Situation Down in L.A.

RUSH EXCERPT:
TODD: "That seemed like an escalation, that that sort of surprising there. Look, the fact that there was I mean, it is, like I said, we don‘t know what kind of threats they‘re dealing with. This is a tense situation down in L.A. and for all we know, there were a lot of threats coming in at the homeland security. So I don‘t want to belittle the reaction of the security detail, but it does look extreme. And that‘s not a good look, especially to a Latino senator at a time when there‘s a lot of sensitivities in that, in that community right now. So. I am surprised that already people here in Washington, on the right side of the aisle here want to escalate this even more. I‘m not sure that that‘s frankly, I don‘t obviously, it‘s not good for the country. I don‘t think that‘s good politics either, for what it‘s worth. Like what? De-escalatory. Behavior here is also good politics here. And so I do think that that trying to dunk on this situation, which is what the White House seems to be doing, and a little bit of what the speaker did there, I don‘t think that‘s good politics. We could we could question, look, he went in there and he was disruptive. He was interrupting, but it does feel like there was an overreaction to that. And an extreme overreaction from the speaker and Mr. Trump."
