Leftists Lose it After JD Vance Calls Democrat Senator Alex Padilla “José Padilla” (VIDEO) |

Emotions are running high among certain political circles following Vice President JD Vance’s recent remarks about California’s Democratic Senator Alex Padilla.

During a press conference in Los Angeles, Vance referred to Senator Padilla as “José Padilla,” igniting a firestorm of controversy.

When asked by a reporter about claims that Democratic lawmakers were being detained by ICE, Vance responded by highlighting the actions of Padilla and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who had previously faced handcuffs from ICE due to their confrontational behavior. Padilla, he noted, had interrupted a press briefing led by Kristi Noem, while Lander had obstructed ICE agents during an arrest.

Vance added, “I was hoping José Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, he didn’t show up because there wasn’t a theater. That’s all it was,” revealing a mix of flippancy and disdain.

WATCH:

It’s safe to say that JD Vance is unbothered.

In response to the incident, California Governor Gavin Newsom shared the clip on X, seemingly aiming to stoke outrage among his followers.

Reacting to Vance’s words, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass expressed her discontent, stating, “How DARE you disrespect our senator…calling him Jose. He’s not just anybody to us. He’s our senator.”

Left-leaning critics quickly accused Vance of harboring racist sentiments.

Referring to Senator Alex Padilla as “Jose Padilla” isn’t just a harmless blunder; it reflects a troubling trend in Trump-aligned politics: subtle jabs that serve to otherize and belittle. JD Vance knows who Padilla is—they served together.

Supporters of Vance seem to revel in racism sprinkled with a hint of xenophobia.

— He’s Still a Felon (@GabbieKDrice) June 20, 2025

JD Vance served alongside Senator ALEX Padilla, not Jose Padilla. He KNOWS who Senator Padilla is. Racism is evident in his words.

— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) June 20, 2025

In a staggeringly racist moment, JD Vance calls Senator Alex Padilla “José Padilla.” What an embarrassment.

— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) June 20, 2025

Hey, VP Vance, it’s Senator Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla. Los Angeles doesn’t welcome your ignorance and racism. Keep it away.
