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!!
