The video I saw didn’t make him look so innocent.
Apparently it's not cool to barge into a presser. Who knew?

I never said he was innocent or guilty of anything, but I did state he was a US Senator.
Lesson for all Senators then I guess. I thought members of congress, senators, etc…were some protected class? Constitutionally protected I mean. I don’t pretend to know more about the US system that I do and maybe that’s just an assumption on my part.
Why would a Senator or Congressman be able to barge into a live presser without being invited?
According the interwebs its the White House Press Office and the Secret Service who decide who gets let in. I doubt HLS knew who the hell came barging in during a live broadcast.
What stopped him from booking a presser? Nobody giving a shit?
Libtards should know their whole "very mindful, very demure" shtick before going off during a presser. It lacks decorum.
I never said he was innocent or guilty of anything, but I did state he was a US Senator.
The article you referenced made him sound almost angelic
Watched it. He’s a Dick, but still a Senator.Ya sure. Watch the vid as it says otherwise!!
What I’m trying to say is, if he was in that building on an official capacity and he’s travelling to or from that official capacity, then it’s probably relevant.Watched it. He’s a Dick, but still a Senator.
What was he doing in that building where the “presser” was taking place? Was he traveling to or from some event that involved him in his official capacity as a senator? Is that relevant?
