Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.

This reminds us of the Dems telling us we weren't really seeing what was clearly on video showing Joe Biden's cognitive decline. But they won't stop trying the same approach.
Oh, shut up, Liawatha.

We've all seen the video of what really happened.
Take your gaslighting and shove it up your wigwam.

“They have crossed a red line.”
“This is what we feared.”

Most Americans voted for what we're seeing and all the Democrats have left in their playbook is insane outbursts and to encourage rioters.
