José Padilla was convicted on charges of supporting al Qaeda after he was initially accused of planning a “dirty bomb” attack in the U.S. He was eventually sentenced to 21 years in prison.
JD Vance bashed Democrats at the state, local and national levels Friday during his visit to Los Angeles, accusing top California officials of encouraging violent protesters and Sen. Alex Padilla, whom he referred to as “José Padilla,” of engaging in “political theater.”
“I was hoping José Padilla would be here to ask a question. But, unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater, and that’s all it is,” Vance said. “It’s pure political theater. These guys show up. They want to be captured on camera doing something.”
Vance’s comments referred to an incident last week in which federal law enforcement agents handcuffed Padilla after he interrupted a news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Padilla was forcibly removed from the event but not arrested.
Oh look. More gaslighting from an instigating wannabe bully. It’s an administration of serial abusers through and through. JD Vance especially has zero redeeming qualities as a human. His world view like the rest of his ilk is to exploit as much as possible; From people to ecosystems. He is the embodiment of cynicism, and a perfect avatar for those big tech fascists and The Heritage Foundation. To reiterate: If something were to happen to him nothing of value for almost all of the world would be lost.
