What was this unrecognized guy trying to do? Did he have a weapon on him?

It was a federal office building.

1) Padilla had to show ID to get in the building.
2) Padilla had to go through a metal detector to enter the building.
3) Padilla was constantly escorted around the building, including to the presser, by federal agents.
4) Padilla clearly (watch the full video) identified himself by name and title
5) Padilla was handcuffed and wasn’t told what crime he committed (is asking a question a crime now?) by federal agents who refused to identify themselves.
6) Padilla never even got close to Noem.

You got nothing correct.

The whole episode was a stunt by the senator.

It was a stunt all right. To distract from the fact that Trump didn’t end the Russia invasion of Ukraine on day 1 nor did he end the fighting in the Middle East.
