Vice President JD Vance dismissed the “political theater” of Sen. Alex Padilla in Los Angeles earlier this month, as well as that of his fellow Democrats. During the process, however, he got the name of his former Senate colleague wrong, referring to him as “Jose Padilla.”

Vance visited Los Angeles for the first time since anti-ICE protests broke out in the city earlier this month, speaking with law enforcement officers and Marines sent to the state. After a brief address, Vance was asked about several Democratic lawmakers being detained after confronting federal officials, specifically Padilla, who was ejected from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference after interrupting it.

“Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater, and that’s all it is, you know, I think everybody realizes that’s what this is. It’s pure political theater,” Vance answered.

He went on to allege that Democrats “want to be captured on camera doing something” in order to tell left-wing groups they stood up to Trump or border enforcement. In reality, they’re only standing up for drug and sex traffickers, he argued.

“So I think these guys, we ought to laugh them out of the building. We ought to call them out for doing what they’re doing, which is grandstanding,” Vance continued.
