In the name of “congressional oversight,” Padilla skipped an entire day of Senate legislative voting in Washington D.C., so he could become famous by repeating a publicity stunt similar to Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka getting himself kicked out of an I.C.E facility.
Like his Left-wing colleagues, Padilla moved to D.C. to be somebody instead of actually doing anything for the people he claims to represent.
I discussed this and legacy media bias with Newsmax host John Bachman.
