‘Radical left lunatics’ are ‘going after’ Noem because she is a woman: Trump

WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump said “radical left lunatics” have been criticizing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem based on gender.

He made the comment in a late-night rant on his social media platform.

“The Radical Left Lunatics, Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Thugs, are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman,” he wrote, in part, on Truth Social.

Trump went on to say he also thinks she’s being attacked because she “has done a really GREAT JOB!”

In his post, Trump said he and Noem, along with the rest of his administration, repaired the “border disaster” he “inherited” from former President Joe Biden.

“The violent criminals that were allowed into our Country through Sleepy Joe’s ‘sick’ Open Border Policy, are largely gone, or being strongly sought for purposes of removal, and the Murder Rate in the USA just reached the lowest level in history, 125 years! Washington, D.C., is now one of the safest cities in America — Likewise, numerous other once very dangerous cities!” Trump wrote.

“Republicans, don’t let these Crooked Democrats, who are stealing Billions of Dollars from Minnesota, and other Cities and States from all over the Country, push you around. They are using this aggressive protest SCAM to obfuscate, camouflage, and hide their CRIMINAL ACTS of theft and insurrection. They should all be in jail. I was elected on Strong Borders, and Law and Order, among many other things. Thank you to Secretary Kristi Noem. Remember, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!,” he added.

Noem, who addressed the media during a news conference at Miami International Airport in Florida on Saturday afternoon, said DHS strives to get “dangerous criminals, murderers, and rapists, and drug traffickers” out of the U.S. and make sure justice is served.

“We’re going to continue to work with the local law enforcement and the leadership in Minnesota to do that — to make the community safer. I just want to remind you all — the reason that we’re in this situation with so many dangerous people in the country is because of the policies of the previous administration. Under Joe Biden’s administration, millions of people came into the United States that were completely unvetted,” she told reporters.

“And we know for a fact that we have people that were terrorists, suspected terrorists — dangerous criminals — that came in and have been perpetuating violence on the American people. We’re so grateful that the border is safe and secure, but now we need to make sure that we’re bringing Americans that safety and security, as well,” she added.
