Jared Moskowitz: ‘Who’s the Weakest Member of His Team? … It’s Definitely Christie Noem’

Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz delivered a scathing critique of Kristi Noem, accusing her of being the weakest link in President Trump's team during a recent appearance captured by Grabien Stories. Moskowitz questioned Noem's accomplishments on border security and disaster response, invoking the president's own metrics to argue that she has underperformed significantly.

Moskowitz highlighted Noem's claims of progress, pointing out that she is "holding up two hundred miles of border wall," but emphasized that this falls short by the president's standards. "Again, that’s not my metric. That would be the president’s office failing it back," he said, underscoring the perceived shortfall in construction efforts.

Further criticizing deportation numbers, Moskowitz noted that Noem "deported less people than Barack Obama." He argued that even by "the president's metrics," her performance does not scale up, painting a picture of ineffective leadership at the Department of Homeland Security.

Moskowitz extended his rebuke to Noem's handling of administrative duties, stating she "can’t get any of these grants out of her office" and is presiding over "the largest FEMA backlog in American history." He accused her of failing to assist "any these red state governors" during their disasters, questioning her overall impact.

Drawing a vivid analogy to Trump's reality TV days, Moskowitz likened the situation to The Apprentice. "If this were the show Apprentice which the president you know was very successful on... he would say: listen you know you suck you the weakest member, the team, you’re fired," he remarked, directly labeling Noem as "the weakest member of his team."

Moskowitz suggested a dramatic firing for the sake of ratings, proposing Trump gather his team and publicly dismiss Noem: "Christie you’re not building any border wall. Barack Obama deported more people, you’re not doing a really good job. You’re fired." He speculated it would boost viewership, as "people would pay to watch that."

Closing his remarks, Moskowitz stressed the need for change at the agencies, arguing that Noem's removal would benefit the president, the American people, and enable necessary policy shifts. "Who’s going to implement a policy change? It’s Christie Noem. I mean that’s a joke," he concluded.
