Last week, during Kristi Noem’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina lashed into her leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.
It was a long time coming. In January, he and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska became the first Republicans to say Noem should go. That came after the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, whom Noem called Pretti a domestic terrorist.
