Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem waved off criticism of recent comments she made about ensuring “we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country,” calling the remarks “commonsense.”
In response to a clip from CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday in which Jake Tapper asks border czar Tom Homan about her comments, Noem said on the social platform X that it “must be exhausting to regularly manufacture outrage even over the most commonsense statements.”.....
On Friday, Noem suggested that her department plays an expansive role in election security. The secretary alleged she has the authority to find “vulnerabilities” in the election system and put in place “mitigation measures” to ensure local and state elections are carried out “correctly.”
In a press conference in Arizona, Noem claimed elections were under the DHS’s mission of “maintaining critical infrastructure.”
