Trump: Kristi Noem Gets Criticized ‘Because She’s A Woman’ | EUROtoday

President Donald Trump floated a principle as to why Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has come below a lot fireplace the previous week, and it’s not due to her division’s disastrous immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

“The Radical Left Lunatics, Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Thugs, are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman, and has done a really GREAT JOB!” he wrote.

He went on to reward Noem’s dealing with of the U.S.-Mexico border earlier than calling Minneapolis’ huge anti-ICE protests a “SCAM” meant to “obfuscate” an ongoing fraud scandal in Minnesota.

Minneapolis has erupted in protest over federal immigration officers killing two U.S. residents, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in addition to the final temper of terror that ICE’s aggressive techniques have solid over components of the town and its suburbs.

Noem drew particularly sharp condemnation for her statements following the demise of Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol officers. Nearly instantly after the taking pictures, Noem mentioned that Pretti was planning to “inflict maximum damage” on legislation enforcement and had been “brandishing a gun”— a declare that flew within the face of a number of eyewitness movies of the incident.

Norm defended her preliminary response to the killing in a Fox News interview Thursday, saying that “we were using the best information we had at the time.”
