Sen. Padilla: Covid Response Is Top Priority As New Senator | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Welcome Sen. Padilla
The Californians love this man!💙❤💙✌
Indeed we do!!!
No i don’t but as a Californian well press forward. We are a great state
Economy success relies on stopping Covid. It’s very clear.
It is not all that clear to the misinformed who still think the out-of-control pandemic is all fake news.
@ Bob Heck it’s said yo say some people will never believe the COVID virus and economic recovery go hand-in-hand
Thank God we’re in good hands United States of America and the world 🇱🇷💯🙏🌈
until now the hands were bad ? and, if he had won , thanks to the electoral system, then ?
California – represent!
California leads.
Always will.
In other news: “fascist dictator leaves White House peacefully”
If you call the last 2 weeks he was there peacefully then you got problems.
@Jesse Caple ‘if they get no bread, let them eat cake ‘ – who said that ? , don’t gallop Caple
@L D frenzy or coup ? , what is fascist ideology, by the way ?
@S.K. Vyas Marie Antoinette. And we know how she left office. But sitting in Versailles spending money while their people died by the thousands sounds very much like a Trump thang. Hitler too sacked anyone who didn’t agree with him and lost touch with reality before he left office. At least he had the balls to do it himself…unlike orangeman🍊
@L D lol, coup
Twice Impeached Trump just let us die because dealing with the pandemic was inconvenient for him.
trump didn’t have time to deal with the pandemic. There were inane tv shows to watch and BS lies to tweet so the lives of over 400,000 Americans did not and still does not matter to him.
Trump’s bungled response help cost him his reelection and ironically will cost him his golf resorts because all of them are losing money, money Trump borrowed and has no way to pay back.
Also, Rona’s a strong woman who he couldn’t grab by the p****, so he felt very intimidated by her, especially when she spanked his a*** but wouldn’t accept a pay off to keep quiet over it, so he did what he always does when a strong woman intimidates him & engaged in a twit ter war with her, but she didn’t play
President Biden’s Administration knows following the science and medical expert’s advice is the quickest way to get his predecessor’s out-of-control pandemic quelled, saving American lives and getting back to a robust America.
oblation to the rising sun
If you told the maga cult in June that while we’re only at 1,500 deaths per day now, it will reach 4,000 within 6 months, they’d tell you to “shut up and stop taking away muh rights!” 😬
Dr. Fauci did suggest we’d hit these sort of numbers without serious interventions… the Trump fans all claimed it was ‘fake news’ to make Trump look bad.
Try telling them people are dying today. I have neighbors who still believe the GLOBAL PANDEMIC is a Liberal plot to make Trump look bad. I guess the entire earth is in on the TDS conspiracy. NO I’m not joking.
Whoot Whoot Senator Padilla!!!
Congrats Mr Padilla, So happy & proud that a change has arrived & that youll lead the mission!!
Latina lady Rose
of Calif.
I can’t believe the majority of GOP senators took and blatantly broke this oath!
It was CONGRESS not the SENATE and it was 147 Republican Congressmen who broke that OATH.
Finally, a Latino from the state with the largest number of Latinos.
Way to go. This is what called equal representation.
@FDM 215 and Jesus Acosta: well, Rubio is supposed to be Cuban …
@s’lian yong We’re not saying Padilla is the first Latino senator… just the first from CA, apparently.
@FDM 215 ah. Thanks. Sorry for misreading.
What would be even greater is if an Asian/ Pacific Islander can replace Feinstein
I’ve known AP since the Los Angeles labor marches in the mid 90’s working for Gil Cedillo. Good man, honest fellow. Go get’em Alex!
FINALLY California has a Latino Mexican American Senator!
Oath says “that you will protect the constitution of United States from enemies”. Was that done by Hawley, Cruz etc
It brakes my heart seeing good descent people with a heart of gold trying to pick up the pieces and clean the mess the thug Trump left behind while sitting on top of the world stealing our tax payers money to benefit his pocket
Feinstein should retire, btw, ASAP
This was a great moment , everyone should remember this oath when questioning other congressmen’s adherence to this oath on and before January 6th…
Hey Alex Padilla this is Jacqueline Padilla! U go boy!!
