"You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training. And then you have the audacity to go into a book and say it's a leadership lesson about tough choices? But my point is, those are bad decisions made in the heat of the moment-not unlike what happened up in Minneapolis."
"Noem cited that as strong leadership, and it was the same leadership and terrible judgment that led her to falsely defend the murders of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti as a strike against domestic terrorism, and to allow her agents to detain legal immigrants, and even some US citizens."
Kristi Noem, Trump's Homeland Security Secretary, was fired after two days of congressional scrutiny. Senator Thom Tillis publicly criticized her for shooting her 14-month-old puppy Cricket due to inadequate training, then citing the act as a leadership lesson in her book. Tillis connected this poor judgment to her other failures, including falsely defending detentions of legal immigrants and U.S. citizens as counterterrorism measures, and mismanaging Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. Her firing marked the first cabinet departure in Trump's second administration. Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma replaced her.
