Tillis: ‘Noem Is Out of Her Depth,’ She’s ‘Not Competent’

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “is not competent” to run the federal agency.

Tillis said, “Well, I think they’re doing the American people and the president a great disservice by not realizing how much attention is focused on these operations and how details and discipline matter. They spoke before they knew anything about what occurred on the ground. They didn’t even implement the typical protocol that you would. And an officer involved shooting as much to protect those officers as the scene of the incident.”

He added, “Everything that goes into an investigation after a casualty, after a death. They talked too soon. It looked like they wanted to get ahead of a news cycle.
