A damning report about the relationship between Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her right-hand man, Corey Lewandowski, and its impact on the agency sparked outrage among political analysts and observers.
On Thursday, The Atlantic published a report, citing a forthcoming book by NBC News reporter Julia Ainsley about Trump’s deportation regime, which found that Noem and Lewandowski’s relationship has “warped the agency” into a fiefdom and has caused tensions between DHS and members of the Trump White House. The report included details about how Lewandowski has embedded himself within the agency, and how Noem’s seemingly “sociopathic” nature has won her the adoration of President Donald Trump.
The report sparked outrage among political analysts and observers, including a call for Noem to testify before a House committee next week.
“I look forward to you testifying under oath at the House Judiciary Committee next Wednesday,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) posted on X. “Don’t forget your blanket.”
“Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths,” George Conway, conservative attorney and Democratic candidate for a House seat in New York, posted on X.
“Can we bring shame back into public life?” Philip Bunn, assistant professor of political science at Covenant College, posted on X.
“This really stood out for me as well,” political consultant Zak Williams posted on Bluesky. “Trump, and others in the administration, see nonwhite immigrants as animals, and having someone like Noem is something they like.”
“Report: Trump thought being a dog-killer was an asset for DHS Secty Noem,” John Barron, U.S. political analyst for ABC Australia, posted on X.
