New DHS Goon Won Trump Over with Error-Strewn TV Appearances

The 48-year-old senator was tapped late Thursday to replace Kristi Noem after her litany of errors finally forced the president’s hand and she found herself in the newly made-up role of Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Noem becomes the first Cabinet member fired in Trump’s second administration.
