Sen. Thom Tillis condemned the recent detention of Sen. Alex Padilla, calling the incident 'disgusting' and emphasizing the need for restraint and civility among elected officials. He noted that both sides of the political aisle share responsibility for escalating tensions and urged politicians to communicate through appropriate channels rather than confrontational actions. Tillis reflected on the emotional nature of the incident and advocated for accountability and professional behavior, pointing out that elected officials should not interrupt press conferences or engage in public disturbances.
I have to tell you that the events that occurred... were disgusting, and we have to get to a point where elected officials have to take some responsibility for their actions.
Senator Padilla should have found a better way to elevate his concerns to the Secretary of Homeland Security rather than going in there and having that dust-up.
