Trump Dumps Kristi Noem In The Middle Of Her Speech, Which Is Objectively Very Funny

Noem faced congressional scrutiny over $200 million in ad spending, delayed FEMA disaster relief, and controversial immigration enforcement before Trump fired her after two years.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary and announced Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., as her replacement.
  • By centralizing approvals, the $100,000 rule created bottlenecks at FEMA, delaying a contract to inspect an estimated 6 million homes and slowing response to floods in central Texas.
  • Empowering Gregory Bovino, Noem sent a border official to run operations in Southern California, Chicago, New Orleans, Charlotte and Minnesota, producing viral images, lawsuits, and a credibility crisis after the Alex Pretti shooting.
  • During congressional hearings this week, lawmakers pressed Noem over more than $200 million in ad contracts allegedly steered to her former consultants, while Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove questioned her relationship with Corey Lewandowski as Sen. Alex Padilla was handcuffed.
  • Noem's mix of immigration results and self-promotion positioned DHS amid sharp debate, with historic lows in illegal crossings and wartime law deportations to El Salvador, while her El Salvador prison tour and gold Rolex drew ridicule.
