President Donald Trump floated a theory as to why Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has come under so much fire the past week, and it’s not because of her department’s disastrous immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
Trump suggested in a Truth Social tirade posted Friday night that the real culprit is misogyny.
“The Radical Left Lunatics, Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Thugs, are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman, and has done a really GREAT JOB!” he wrote.
He went on to praise Noem’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border before calling Minneapolis’ massive anti-ICE protests a “SCAM” meant to “obfuscate” an ongoing fraud scandal in Minnesota.
Minneapolis has erupted in protest over federal immigration officers killing two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, as well as the general mood of terror that ICE’s aggressive tactics have cast over parts of the city and its suburbs.
