Political Quotes

“2 weeks ago, a woman named Kristi Noem came and appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. We had been asking her to come in and explain her management of the Department of Homeland Security for months. She said she was too busy; we knew better. We watched one aspect of what that Department was doing with the ICE agents not only in Chicago, which I am honored to represent, but also Minneapolis. Finally, she weakened and succumbed to our request and basically said: I will come. I will do the Senate on Tuesday, I will do the House on Wednesday, and then don't bother me for a while. It didn't work out as she planned. She appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee and wouldn't answer questions directly to her about the management of the Department and things she had said and done. The Achilles' heel turned out to be a $200 million publicity stunt, which she had bilked the taxpayers out of, so that she could travel around the country by television, by social media, riding horses, appearing before Mount Rushmore, and she said the President approved it. The next day, she appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and had a similar experience. By the end of the day, she was finished. Two weeks ago, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, was fired by President Trump.”
