Two Republican senators call for Kristi Noem to resign as DHS secretary

Source: NBC

Sens. Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign Tuesday, making them the first Republicans in Congress to say she should step down.

Asked whether he had confidence in Noem, Tillis, R-N.C., told reporters on Capitol Hill: “No, not at all. I think she should go.”

Tillis, who is not running seeking another term in Congress, said some of Noem's actions reflected "amateurish assistant-manager-sort of thought processes," calling them "unacceptable" for someone in a Cabinet-level position.

Murkowski, R-Alaska, whose term runs until January 2029, said Noem should not be running DHS.

The only thing Noem should be running is for the hills with the law in pursuit
