Oh wait. No, he’s not. He’s waiting for answers.

Senator Padilla was thrown on the ground and handcuffed, all because he was exercising his duty as a senator.
We need a full investigation into what the hell happened, and what's going to be done to see that this doesn't happen again to Senator Padilla or any American citizen.

A Democratic Senator was assaulted. As you can see, the senate was in session as usual. Schumer, or any Democrat, could bring the senate to a crawl by refusing to give unanimous consent to ongoing business. Among other procedural moves. But no, nothing. Just a request for answers.
Answers? What answers! It’s there on the video as plain as day. There’s nothing to be answered. Except why the Democrats in Washington continue to have the most pusillanimous leadership in the history of U.S. politics.
