To his very great shock. He's lucky he wasn't booked for trying to attack the Homeland Security Director.

His political stunt backfired on him.

Even CNN said he got what he deserved for barging into her meeting without wearing his required I.D. After all anybody can claim to be anyone while approaching a stage for nefarious reasons. At least they physically restrained him rather than hit him with a taser. Although that would have been even funnier.

Padilla barged in without his Senate credentials, looking like he was wearing a bomb vest.
He's lucky security was so nice to him.

He cried because they actually piled on and took him down to the floor like they would have done to any other common Dem Party thug. I bet he had to retire to a safe space afterwards.
