Gavin Newsom is demanding that the remaining funds spent by “Kosplay Kristi” Noem on a controversial $220 million “vanity” ad campaign be rerouted to help victims of last year’s devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Noem was fired by President Donald Trump earlier this week from her role as Homeland Security Secretary after mounting scrutiny. She has faced criticism for military-style immigration operations across multiple states, DHS’s purchase of multiple luxury jets for staff, major reductions in FEMA staff, and her rumored affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski. They have both denied the rumors, but Noem refused to directly answer questions about the alleged affair during a House Judiciary Committee hearing this week.
