DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy's claims about FEMA firings 'an absolute lie' and criticized Democrats for politicizing a disaster that killed 129 people.
"You know, this memo and this criticism, I think, is all politics because I was there," Noem said. "I was there and every time somebody asked for something, we said, absolutely, it'll be here as soon as possible and it'll be done."
Noem said that she and over 700 FEMA workers were in the area within hours of a call with Texas officials. The Coast Guard also immediately deployed following the call, she added.
