LOADINGERROR LOADING Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) thinks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Minneapolis-area press blitz was all for show. “Everything coming out of DHS right now is about theatrics, it’s about a, you know, a media hit or whatever,” he said of the camera-happy Cabinet member’s recent visit to the Twin Cities. Advertisement Suggesting Noem was using the trip as an excuse for the government to cover her personal travel, Walz added, “My guess is she’s probably here on personal business and used it as a way to pay for it by having a press conference that had absolutely nothing factual and nothing new.” Last Friday, Noem railed against Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey during a press conference at St. Paul’s Fort Snelling federal building.

I don’t know how he goes to bed knowing that he’s letting these people walk these streets and there could be more victims the next day,” Noem went on, claiming DHS was “focused on getting the worst of the worst off our streets as soon as possible.”
