Alyssa Farah Griffin: ‘Incredibly Chilling’ How They Treated Sen. Padilla

EXCERPT:

FARAH GRIFFIN: "Listen, the first words in that video that we see out of Senator Padilla‘s mouth is, 'I am an American, a U.S. senator.' So he made that abundantly clear and still they used such a degree of force. I think it‘s incredibly chilling. This is a man who got 6 million votes. He represents nearly 40 million Californians, where these raids, by the way, are taking place. And he has an oversight role in the Senate over immigration and the Department of Homeland Security. So I think it‘s a very chilling moment. Some Republican senators have criticized it as well. I think it speaks to the fact that Donald Trump‘s been very clear: any form of protest, he is going to respond to.”
