This was an attempt to shut Alex Padilla up — and all of us who disagree with this Administration.

The right to peacefully assemble and petition government for redress of grievances cannot be taken away. This Saturday, June 14th, is Flag Day.  But it’s not the piece of cloth we celebrate on Flag Day — it’s the core American values that we hold dear.   Arguably, the most core American value is th…
