Does this guy deserve an Oscar?

What’s he crying about.  He was wrong.   The good good crying starts around 6:45 mark.

I read an opinion piece in The Hill website.   This guy said that Padilla identifies himself and then asked his question and got tackled for it.  That is not what the video showed.  

The video shows him approaching the secretary yelling something (presumably questions) and then gets man handled and is refusing to go with security so there is a struggle and then he identifies himself as Padilla.  

1.  You don't go to a press conference and approach the speaker.

2.  You don't interrupt the speaker while they are in the middle of their statement.

3.   Even if you are a sitting US Senator.  

4.   What happened to him would have happened to anyone doing the same thing.

You then don’t make a “political meal” out of it for days on end.  No one believes you  weren’t acting like a dip shyte.  
 

oooo to be a politician in the days pre video and pre internet.  Must have been much much easier to lie and stage nonsense to your people’s.

I believe it is the growth of ‘media’ and internet that has increased and intensified the lies.  Before that the main way constituents knew what you were up to was by the record of your vote.  Now far less people pay attention to that because they have their reps on the web and social media telling them what to think every day and what they should be mad at. That’s how you get votes these days, much more so than by the actual work you do.

Interesting take.  I do see a large handful of ai fake azz vids that are politically motivated quite a bit.   That’s true.

He’s just sloppily following the playbook that was given to him. Any true element of the situation like the cuffs goes into the political montage.

no he is a terrible actor
