These Democrats now have regrets about voting for Kristi Noem. Interesting.

If only they had been warned.

On Wednesday, NBC News’ Sahil Kapur reported that some Democratic senators now say they regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as secretary of homeland security. As a reminder, seven of them did: Sens. Tim Kaine, Andy Kim, Elissa Slotkin, Gary Peters, Maggie Hassan, Jeanne Shaheen and John Fetterman.

“I’m very disappointed. I’m very disappointed in her,” Kaine told NBC News. “If I were voting on her today, I definitely wouldn’t vote for her.”

But why the long faces just now? In retrospect, the morality tale ending in a puppy killing should have been a red flag. Or perhaps her lack of qualifications; or the fact that she was already promising mass deportations.

9. Their vote NO wouldn't have changed anything and maybe they thought they could win some grace from the administration

Clearly they were naive and/or short-sighted
