Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they’d now oppose her in the wake of Trump’s aggressive deportation plans and last week’s incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.
Five days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, seven Senate Democrats voted to confirm Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Nearly 5 months later, most of them are critical of her, with some going as far as to say they regret their votes.
“I’m very disappointed. I’m very disappointed in her,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told NBC News this week. “If I were voting on her today, I definitely wouldn’t vote for her.”
Freshman Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., also said he would vote differently and oppose her nomination if he could do it again.
As a minority party with essentially no control of anything your only job is to make the majority’s job as hard as possible and they couldn’t even do that!
Don’t worry, as soon as Trump crosses Schumer’s red line of disregarding the supreme court the Democrats will spring into action!
… They’ll spring into action any day now
… Any day now
Democrats: 🦗🦗🦗
What do you mean? Theyre acting right now to address the wild chaos of the Trump admin and calling their stock brokers as we speak
They’ll spring into action by waving a finger at him and going tsk tsk
Hey, easy now. The Supreme Court already said there’s no need for that
I hard disagree with what you said, but you are also correct with the political situation.
A minority party in a normal world shouldn’t only be obstructionist. They should ideally all work together to make the best outcomes for the constituents. This is a functional democracy.
Now that our democracy is in absolute decay on the path to a fascist takeover (if not already there), you are absolutely right.
Maybe pedantic, but I feel like it’s important to remember how things should function.
It’d be sooo mean. I’d better resign. It’d show them how I’m angy at them.
