House Democrat Busts Out 'Apprentice' Clips During Hearing in Direct Plea to Trump to Fire Noem

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL ) referenced President Donald Trump’s previous role on The Apprentice during a congressional hearing Wednesday to advocate for the firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The tactics used during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown have been loudly criticized and sparked nationwide protests and multiple court challenges, especially after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis: Renee Good on Jan. 7 by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 by Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Recently, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino was removed from overseeing the operations in Minnesota and sent back to California, with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan sent to replace him. Noem’s announcement Monday that her agency would be “deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis…[e]ffective immediately” satisfied a key demand from protesters and Democratic members of Congress, but has failed to quell the ongoing anger and frustration at the administration’s immigration policies.

Wednesday, Moskowitz urged the president to bring back his infamous “You’re fired!” tagline from The Apprentice.

Moskowitz: "We need 'Apprentice' Trump. Where is that guy? Let me remind him what he used to be. 'You're fired, you're fired, you're all fired.' People loved it. You made millions firing people for a living. But now somebody convinced you firing people is weakness. That's why ratings are down."

Noem will pay great dividends for Dems if she's still employed by Election Day

Because "The Apprentice" was fake -- phony all the way.

Just like his two administrations.
