Senator Chris Murphy's Call for Bipartisan Defense of Free Speech Following Alex Padilla's Arrest

Published | Video Starts at 09:49

It doesn't compromise my Republican colleagues integrity as Republicans to decide that there is still right or wrong, that not everything is black or white, that two plus two sometimes has to still equal four. What happened to Senator Padilla should not have happened. He identified himself. It's not true that he didn't identify himself. What happened to him in the room is not justifiable, but certainly what happened to him outside the room isn't justifiable once he was removed from the room. (09:49–09:55)

CLAIM
