Yes, there are dumb questions. As our own Just Mindy reported, Rep. Ted Lieu looked at this video, with dramatic music added, and asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem why her agent shoved an agitator to the ground. I have a suspicion that it's because he was impeding a federal operation by blocking a vehicle, and unlike Renee Good, he didn't just stomp on the accelerator and hit the guy.
Lieu has gotten the vapors from seeing an agitator being pushed. I'm guessing he didn't get the same feeling when his colleague, Rep. Lamonica McIver, was pounding away on a federal law enforcement official trying to force her way into a detention center.
Dear @Sec_Noem: Why did your agent shove this civilian to the ground? https://t.co/tRCGhVi8t6

It looks like the guy moved, stood up and brushed himself off, and the ICE vehicle was able to go on its way.
Because he's standing in front of their truck dumbass.

You’re asking the wrong question. Why did a lawbreaking nutjob impede the job of Federal Agents?
— Savannah Insights 🎙️ (@BasedSavannah) January 12, 2026
Probably because he's standing in the middle of the road in front of a vehicle impeding a federal investigation which is then a federal crime

Dear Ted, why was the idiot blocking the car and lawful action?
— Larry Cook (@stopvaccinating) January 12, 2026
Maybe that person should stop interfering with ICE operations? Ever thought about that Congressman?

Dear @tedlieu: Because he was blocking the agent's automobile. Next question?

I’ve been reliably informed that if someone is standing in front of your car, you are allowed to drive into them.

To get him out of the way. Are you really this dumb?

This isn't the NBA, you aren't immune from being pushed out of the way just because you've established a guarding position

Where is the entire video ? Why is he standing in front of vehicle not allowing them to leave ? The actions of the man who was shoved should result in an immediate arrest.

How many times was he verbally ordered to move by law enforcement before this video was edited?
Because he was literally standing in front of of an agents car like a fucking dolt obstructing justice. Hope this helps.

Because he was obstructing the car. It's on the video.

Dear @Sec_Noem: Why did your agent not arrest this civilian for obstructing the law enforcement vehicle?
— Λεωνίδας Παλαιοδήμος (@LeonPalaiodimos) January 12, 2026
You'd have far fewer videos like this one if paid agitators let ICE do their jobs without obstructing them. They hope for moments like this one, so morons like you can post about it.
