Kristi Noem’s sudden ouster from Donald Trump inner sanctum is the big tea that has been spilling out of Washington, D.C. since the kettle of news broke yesterday. Noem is now the first person to hear The Orange One’s favorite catchphrase, “You’re fired!” during his second administration.
As a public figure, it goes without saying that Noem is nobody’s idea of a good time. She was obsequiously combative as she carried Trump’s water on issues of immigration and deportation. Most recently, Noem came under intense criticism in the aftermath of the Alex Pretti being gunned down by ICE agents in Minnesota as she told the American people an egregious lie despite the fact that we all saw videos of the fatal shooting, from multiple angles.
In reaction to the news of Noem’s removal from Trump’s cabinet, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said this on social media:
“Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota,”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, famous for telling ICE (and by proxy Border Patrol and Noem’s DHS agents) to “get the f**k out” of his city, was less profane and less verbose than Governor Walz saying simply:
“Good riddance.”
U.S. Rep Betty McCollum, who represents the 4th District of Minnesota (those folks HATE Kristi Noem so much and it easy to understand why), gave the most aggressive and scathing response to the news that the wicked witch of DHS is “dead” calling Noem the “most inept, incompetent, and dishonorable leader in the history of the Department of Homeland Security.”, according to CBSNews.
Oh, but there’s more:
“Minnesotans will never forget the terror that Kristi Noem unleashed upon our state,” McCollum said. “Firing her is just the first step to ending the lawlessness that she oversaw at DHS.”
“It is up to Congress to rein in an out-of-control department and rebuild agencies that respect the civil and constitutional rights of the American people,” McCollum said.
And now a word from another Minnesotan who hates Kristi Noem’s guts. U.S. Rep Angie Craig of the Second District of the North Star State took the opportunity to remind those engaged in jubilation that s**t ain’t sweet just because Noem is gone. Her replacement, Markwayne Mullin, another Trump sycophant, will be just as bad if not worse.
“While this is welcome news, we should all be clear that President Trump is firing Noem because she made him look bad, not because he believes her tactics were wrong,” Craig said in a statement. “Minnesotans know we are not out of the woods yet and we can’t afford another rubber stamp for Trump’s immigration agenda leading DHS. And even though we’ve seen that loyalty is a one-way street for this president, that’s exactly what Markwayne Mullin will be.”
All eyes will be on Mullin as he’ll undoubtedly be working overtime to make his führer proud of him during his first days on the job.
