Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) tore apart Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight” Wednesday, following a contentious hearing in Congress in which she evaded tough questions about the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.
In one exchange, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) repeatedly demanded Noem clarify whether she still believes, as she initially told the public, that Good and Pretti were “domestic terrorists,” only for her to dodge and deflect.
“It was embarrassing,” said anchor and former RNC chair Michael Steele. “It was despicable. It was all those things. This administration can’t look at the victims of Jeffrey Epstein when they, when they appear. And you have, you know, Ms. Bondi sitting there and she refuses to look. And now you have the DHS Secretary, can’t even acknowledge that the individuals that she pegged that she said were domestic terrorists were, in fact, not domestic terrorists, because she’s hiding behind some ongoing investigation, which is a crock.”
“I just wanted to get your response to that moment and what it said to you,” he said.
“Yeah. Today’s performance by Kristi Noem was appalling,” said Kamlager-Dove, who added that Good and Pretti are hardly the only victims: “30 immigrants … have been killed, you know, because this woman is making bad decisions that are killing Americans, that are killing our friends and neighbors.”
“And the sad part is, is that she will not take responsibility,” Kamlager-Dove added. “She will not be accountable. She will not admit to mistakes. She will not submit to wanting to do better. She is not a good leader. She is covering up and she is running from the accountability and the responsibility that goes with her position.”
