El Dorado County Democratic Party Chair, Margaret Fortune, Urges Democrats to Fight Back. "It’s outrageous that Kristi Noem allowed a sitting U.S. Senator, Alex Padilla, to be tackled to the ground and handcuffed simply for asking a question at a press conference — one he had every right to attend. Her claim that she didn’t recognize the Senator from California, in his own state, is not only unbelievable — it’s a lie. We are witnessing a steady slide toward autocracy, right before our eyes. What’s next — tanks rolling through the streets of Washington, D.C.? Oh wait, that is what’s next. Fight back!” Join the peaceful No Kings Day rallies and demonstrations on June 14. linktr.ee/edcdems
