Senate Democrat says Stephen Miller was 'calling the shots' at DHS under Noem

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) on Sunday said White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “calling the shots” at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and he said Miller will continue to remain in control after her departure.

“She was a governor; governors are often good Cabinet secretaries. But what we learned, and this bears going forward, is that she wasn’t calling the shots. Stephen Miller is calling the shots,” Kaine said during an appearance on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

“And as long as he is calling the shots without reforms, this is going to continue to be a very, very rogue, renegade department,” he added.

As criticism poured in for the comments made prior to an investigation, Noem said, “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” according to a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.
