Republican Senator Shifts Trump Insult Toward Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller

Sen. Thom Tillis criticized DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and aide Stephen Miller for incompetence and damaging GOP credibility amid deadly federal immigration shootings, calling Trump’s insult a 'thrilling' moment.

  • On Wednesday, Sen. Thom Tillis responded to President Donald Trump's loser remark by calling Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, and Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, incompetent and amateurs.
  • Amid two deadly Minneapolis shootings killing Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, scrutiny of DHS leadership and ICE operations increased as lawmakers face a Friday DHS funding deadline.
  • Tillis told CNN's Manu Raju `I am thrilled about that,` then said `That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president,` blaming Noem and Miller for discrediting ICE and harming GOP credibility this month.
  • With a Friday DHS funding deadline approaching, Sen. Thom Tillis and Sen. Lisa Murkowski intensified calls for Noem’s firing amid Democratic lawmakers blocking DHS funding.
  • The dispute could prompt independent investigations and reshape ICE oversight as Kristi Noem's post-shooting remarks and alliance with Greg Bovino left her isolated after Tom Homan took operational control.
