Kristi Noem Embarrasses Dem Sen Andy Kim; Sen Thune & Cramer look forward to voting for Kristi Neom

Senator Andy Kim: “I’m confused about the roles of you and incoming Border Czar Tom Homan. Who’s going to be in charge of the border?”

Kristi Noem: “Well, the president will be in charge of the border.”

Kim: “That was a good answer.”

On 1/17/2025, President Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, sat before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) began questioning Noem by asking a question: he cited President Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan as Border czar and asked who would be in charge of the nation’s borders. Any senator should know that the President, under the Constitution, has ultimate authority over the United States’ national security, including the borders of America. Noem promptly clarified this basic fact for Kim, who said he thought this was the answer he would have given.

Senator John Thune: “I look forward to voting for Kristi Noem on the floor of the United States Senate to be the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.”

Senator Kevin Cramer: “Strong, stable, and principled — I can’t think of three better words to describe Kristi Noem.”
