“She's proven that she doesn't know how to lead," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — Two Republican senators called for the ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday, saying she failed at her job following a pair of deadly shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis.
“She’s proven that she doesn’t know how to lead, how to de-escalate,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Tuesday. “She’s exposing ICE officers to dangerous situations. She’s exposing U.S. citizens to deadly, deadly situations.”
“I feel like she is discrediting the law enforcement officers of Homeland Security, whether it’s Border Patrol, ICE, Customs ― she is way out of her depth,” he told HuffPost. “She needs to get out of the DHS.”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who, like Tillis, voted to confirm Noem to the job last year, said she would not support her again.
“I think it probably is time for her to step down,” Murkowski told reporters. “You have a secretary right now who needs to be accountable to the chaos and some of the tragedy that we have seen.”
