GOP Sen. Tillis Compares Kristi Noem's DHS Leadership to Her Killing Her Dog
Overview
Sen. Thom Tillis sharply criticized Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during her Senate testimony, likening her defense of the Minneapolis shootings to her killing her dog. His remarks escalated his ongoing push to force Noem from office and included a threat to obstruct Senate business if she remains. The separate probe into a $220 million DHS ad contract featuring Noem and questions about whether she or a senior adviser benefited adds another controversy that critics can point to when arguing for further action or oversight.
