Interviewer Slams Noem: You Are the Government!
During a CNN interview, former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asserted that Americans cannot trust the government, a statement she affirmed even as the current government official. This followed questioning regarding Elon Musk’s access to sensitive personal data, including social security numbers, through his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Noem defended Musk’s actions, citing his work identifying waste, fraud, and abuse, despite concerns raised by the Congressional Progressive Caucus about the legality and ethics of his access. Noem’s comments come amid widespread protests against DOGE’s recent actions, including budget cuts and a return to mandatory in-office work.
