Fox News talked to lawmakers from both sides of the aisle who are rattled by the incident with Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif.
Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a news conference regarding the recent protests in Los Angeles earlier Thursday.
Even some Republicans are privately concerned about how Padilla was treated, although they concede his tactics were aggressive.
This is where some GOPers believe this is theatrical, as Democrats struggle to find a message against the Trump administration that resonates.
