Tim Walz (D) ripped Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for trying to “gaslight” Americans about the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Walz criticized President Donald Trump for reiterating his support for Noem despite her response to Pretti’s death. “I didn’t take well tonight when he was asked about Kristi Noem. “Look, she’s behind this.”“I think [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem] is the most unqualified, ineffective and loathsome of all of the cabinet positions whom we’ve ever seen in any administration. “I think she’s doing a very good job,” he told reporters.
