U.S. Vice President JD Vance referred to California Sen. Alex Padilla as "José" during a Friday tirade against Democrats, following Padilla's disruption of a press conference held by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
"I was hoping José 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," Vance said in a clip circulating on X. "It's pure political theater. These guys show up. They want to be captured on camera doing something."
