This classic clip of cosplay cop Kristi Noem mishandling a gun has gone viral again, and these 15 scathing replies landed right on the bullseye
Let’s journey back in time to a simpler, more peaceful moment in America’s history.
All the way back to April 2025.
Back when we weren’t entirely sure yet whether or not Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, was a menace to society.
She wanted to pump up support for her merry band of untrained barbarian ICE agents. So she donned a costume and grabbed a (hopefully not loaded) gun and posed along side her team.
The resulting pic was not the #inspo she was looking for. It was mocked then and now it’s back again to make the rounds on Twitter.
Posted here by the Twitter account @GoldenAgeUnfold with the unintentionally hysterical caption “Thumbs up if you think Kristi Noem is doing a good job,” the post has garnered 10s of thousands of replies.

Correction: 10s of thousands of replies… effortlessly pointing out the many things that Noem is doing incorrectly in the photo.

Andrew Neil led the charge.
That she has her gun pointing at the agent’s head. No wonder her dog got shot. https://t.co/vZ9pvjKaTK

Here are a few more of the best.
1.
“Looking to make America safe”
As she has the gun pointed right at the guys head she’s standing next to.
What kind of idiots do we have working for us? https://t.co/qoBvwjwqLk

Judging by the way she’s holding the gun pointing directly at the guys head I would say she’s not doing great at all.

She’s pointing a weapon directly at an officers head. She is a deeply unqualified DEI hire https://t.co/bZS4wiJiun

Yes, your anxiety sucks, but have you ever tried standing down-barrel of your boss improperly handling an assault weapon? https://t.co/PdtlVYgmyC pic.twitter.com/rEPzjsizHH

Anytime someone takes a picture with a rifle and their index finger is under the trigger guard it’s a telltale sign their experience with firearms is minimal and they probably don’t even know how to use it https://t.co/0BY1HQHSGC

I think that dude is about to get his head blown off.
But he’s not a dog so he’s probably safe.

👎tell us she has no idea how weapons actually work.
Probably spent 20 minutes with the prop guy saying “point it AWAY from his head” until he just gave up.. https://t.co/BZrPlbn2W4
