Senators Unite to Agree Kristi Noem Is Terrible After Voting for Her
KEY POINTS
- •Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, faced widespread calls for resignation after bipartisan Senate criticism on January 27.
- •Several senators who voted to confirm her, including Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, publicly declared she should step down.
- •House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, pushed impeachment threats if Trump refuses to fire Noem amid DHS funding debates.
On a delightful Tuesday Senate drama, Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem—confirmed by GOP stalwarts Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski—found herself gently suggested to resign by her own fan club. Democrats like Jeanne Shaheen and John Fetterman got cheeky calling her 'inept' and a liar, while Gary Peters wisely noted removing Noem would just replace her with another 'bad apple' in the DHS barrel. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, also an original voter, gracefully dodged direct comments, promising juicy revelations tomorrow, because who doesn't love a Senate thriller? Meanwhile, House Dems demand impeachment, threatening shutdown theatrics, as Trump clings to his 'very good job' pitch like a bad sitcom rerun.
