California Sen. Alex Padilla, who had never heard of anyone 48 hours ago, consumed much of the news cycle yesterday after he worked on security during Kristi Noem Presser and appeared to be rushing to the DHS secretary.

Now, witness the birth of liberal story points. According to California Governor Gavin Newsom, California House Dem, various CNN Talking Heads and Delaware Sen. Chris Koons, Alex Padilla is actually a very “serene and polite.”
