Alex Padilla – A Portrait Of Toxic Masculinity

Until last night when Israel conducted a bold and daring attack on evil Iran, the story of the day was the attempted attack by California Senator Alex Padilla on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Thank God, she had great security around her because Padilla looked unhinged.

If you haven’t, you must read our Nina’s post on this stunt and why it was necessary for Alex Padilla to try to pull it off. Read it here. Nina is right. This was a performative stunt for clicks and to move forward their “No Kings” Day on June 14.

This is the penultimate intersectional event. Antifa, LGBTQIA+, Marxists, Free Palestine, BLM, Climate Activists and more are welcome. You can fit any cause into the “No Kings” box. And, the “won’t bend the knee” box, too. After using the “F” word like it was sugar, two weeks ago, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries began testing out the “Bend the Knee” concept. From The Hill:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that Americans “aren’t interested in bending the knee to a wannabe king,” referring to President Trump.

“Donald Trump has learned an important lesson: The American people aren’t interested in bending the knee to a wannabe king,” Jeffries said on CNN’s “State of the Union” to the outlet’s Dana Bash.

“It’s the reason why Donald Trump actually is the most unpopular president at this point of a presidency in American history,” he added.

The president’s approval rating currently sits at 45.9 percent in the Decision Desk HQ/The Hill polling average, with 51.7 percent in the average not backing the president. The president recently went through consistent drops in his approval ratings, but his approval rating in the Decision Desk HQ/The Hill average is now more than 2 points higher than it was at the start of May.

Speaking of learning a lesson. These last “No Kings” and “Don’t Bend The Knee” campaigns are not well thought out. For years, the Left and all their minions have hectored us about toxic masculinity. Yes, toxic masculinity when big men try to intimidate women with their size, or mansplaining, you know the condescending tone.

The Democrats didn’t think about toxic masculinity when they decided to go after the Feds for jumping up and pulling Alex Padilla out of the room. Padilla 6’3″ and broad. Kristi Noem is 5’7″ and slight. He wasn’t wearing his Senate pin and he didn’t identify himself until seven seconds into the video below. Padilla doesn’t listen to the Feds and tries to use his physical size to overwhelm the Fed. That sounds like toxic masculinity to me.

The agents didn’t know who the heck Alex Padilla was, even after he said his name. Who ever heard of him or knew he was a Senator? He could have been a mentally ill stalker who th

ought he was a U.S. Senator. The ERA Coalition, the ones who believe in inclusion and the like, didn’t care that Alex Padilla tried to intimidate Kristi Noem.

You know what the Dems and their allies are thinking. I know you do. If Kristi Noem didn’t want to be intimidated, she shouldn’t have gone to work with Donald Trump. She deserves what she gets. That’s how they think.
