The Dems watched Homeland Security boss Kristi Noem lie her way into their gotcha, and it was the perfect mic drop – 16 appreciative nods
On Thursday, part-time puppy killer and full-time Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem faced the Democrat House committee on homeland security, and it did not go well for her.
She repeatedly refused to answer the committee’s questions – choosing, instead, to rant about the supposed crimes and incompetence of Joe Biden.
BREAKING: Kristi Noem REFUSES THREE TIMES to state whether she’s breaking the law or not when Rep. Dan Goldman asks.
Instead, she brings up Biden..
YES SHE’S BREAKING THE LAW. pic.twitter.com/h9UgD3c0Y3

Rhode Island congressman Congressman Seth Magaziner wanted to know about the deportations overseen by Noem’s department, with particular respect to US forces veterans.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

Well, that’s awkward.
It was so awkward that, unable to take the heat, Noem soon fled the hearing.
BREAKING: Kristi Noem just RAN OUT of our hearing early, without notice. ⁰⁰Never has there been a Cabinet Secretary so terrified of accountability.
She needs to go. https://t.co/f6ygRU9d7j

Her excuse for leaving turned out to be as much BS as her responses.

The grilling – and that Dem mic drop – provided a faint light in the darkness of the racist authoritarian dystopia engulfing the US.

Either Kristi Noem is perjuring herself or she has no idea what’s happening in her own department. Not sure what’s worse. https://t.co/3usSrfmIkE

Deported a senior citizen combat veteran with a purple heart who took 2 bullets for his country, and hadn’t been to Korea (his birth country) since he was 7!??

Kristi Noem got caught lying before Congress about deporting military veterans. Noem said no veterans have been deported.
Saejun Park, a decorated Iraq War veteran who was forced to self-deport to Korea, then joined the discussion via Skype.

HOLY HELL: Rep. Seth Magaziner just HUMILIATED Secretary Noem.
She claimed she’s never deported a U.S. military veteran… then he introduced her to Se Jun Park — a Purple Heart combat veteran she deported after he took TWO BULLETS for America.
THIS is how you expose liars!! pic.twitter.com/JrJDyfRX3f

Hillary Clinton sat through 11 hours of a witch hunt commitee hearing with no bathroom breaks. Kristi Noem couldn't even make it 2 hours before cowardly running away to attend a fake meeting.
In a world of Kristi Noems, be a Hillary Clinton. pic.twitter.com/7jVCUwgcQr

I will never get over how reflexively all of Trump's people lie, even when they know their lies will be easily exposed. They've learned so well from his example. https://t.co/ilDfLrO3uq

This is how you have to do it. Have the truth prepared so when they blatantly lie you can immediately present evidence of the truth in that immediate moment. Sad this is even needed for someone of the Cabinet. https://t.co/720qRguuLr

If she thought making a break for it would let her off lightly, she was wrong about that, too.
BREAKING: Kristi Noem loudly heckled by angry voters on her way out of a humiliating House hearing, during which she was caught lying about deporting a U.S. combat veteran.
A brutal public rejection.pic.twitter.com/aaCSDhSt7I
