Rachel Maddow Shreds Kristi Noem And Kash Patel As America Is At War
Rachel Maddow showed how Kristi Noem and Kash Patel are far from the best and brightest, and they are supposed to be protecting America after Trump started a war with Iran.
This is the part where Trump’s decision to staff his administration with loyalists instead of competent experts could come back to haunt the country.
There is a reason why the word security is in the name Department of Homeland Security.
DHS is supposed to provide security to the American people from terrorist and cyber attacks.
It is their whole purpose for existing.
However, under Donald Trump, DHS’s mission has changed from protecting America to terrorizing it through the pretense of immigration enforcement.
There was always a strong possibility that Trump’s Team of Incompetents could harm America.
Everything would be fine unless Trump did something like start a war with a nation whose infamous for their cyberattack sophistication.
Trump started the war, and now Rachel Maddow pointed out that it is up to Kristi Noem and Kash Patel to protect the American people.
Maddow said:
I should mention that also means that Kristi Noem is in charge of our cyber defense. I mentioned that Iran’s security services and intelligence services are pretty sophisticated and well resourced, and they’re thought of as having a pretty wide international reach. One of the things they’re best at and most ambitious at is cyber warfare.
While Kristi Noem and her infinite wisdom put, who in charge of America’s cyber defense. Um, it’s this gentleman, Politico just, uh, profiled him. You see the headline there? Canceled contracts, A failed polygraph and personal disputes inside the turbulent tenure of Kristi Noem’s former cyber czar. It, it’s former.
He’s only been former since Thursday because they finally kicked him out of that job. On Thursday, the nation’s top cybersecurity official lost his job on Thursday. Less than 48 hours before the Trump administration started a war with Iran, a particularly adept cyber rival. I mean, this is the Homeland Security Department’s Premier Cybersecurity Division, and who is this guy?
Quote. He had no prior experience in the federal government before Kristi Noem appointed him to leave the agency last May, but he had served a 10 month stint under then Governor Noem as South Dakota’s Chief Information Officer. Okay. In August, he triggered an A-D-H-S-Y damage assessment by uploading sensitive agency contracting documents into a public version of ChatGPT information that other staff at the agency weren’t permitted to use for security reasons.
