'She's gone': Mood at DHS shifts after Kristi Noem's departure, sources say
Source: msn/ABC News
12h
After word came that President Donald Trump fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday, the mood at the department suddenly shifted, a source inside the agency told ABC News. "She's gone," the source told ABC News, saying that there was a sigh of relief within the agency.
Noem is slated to leave her position on March 31, according to Trump, and will take a newly created position, Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. The president said more details of that position would be revealed on Saturday. Trump named Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement.
Noem's departure marked months of controversy and internal struggles inside the department, according to sources, with the secretary coming under scrutiny for her multimillion dollar advertising campaigns, photo ops during Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and her statements following of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis.
Noem and her chief adviser Corey Lewandowski -- who is reportedly also departing DHS -- both had a knack for lashing out, yelling and berating staff that crossed them, according to sources.

(11,178 posts)He is worse than her.
She is just vapid and shallow. (And, a decent candidate for Dunning Kruger.)
He is absolutely vile and so worthless that his only way to get anywhere is to be a huge bully who thinks that the only way to operate is like a Klingon ship. (You advance in the ranks by killing those above you.)
That is something that you just know that yokel would love to practice, mainly because he has so little of anything else.

I think the donald figures its cheaper in the long run to kick em sideways into some new job. If they hate it, they might leave on their own. But if the new job can benefit them in some way, what the hell? Maybe it winds up making them bigger, stronger, and more of a threat.
