So she’s there to “liberate” L.A. from its leadership? I believe they call that insurrection:
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Following the outrageous and violent detainment of Senator Alex Padilla by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, House Speaker Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" him for "wildly inappropriate behavior." Trump 101: Accuse your opponent of what you are actually doing.
