Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they’d now oppose her in the wake of Trump’s aggressive deportation plans and last week’s incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.
Five days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, seven Senate Democrats voted to confirm Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Nearly 5 months later, most of them are critical of her, with some going as far as to say they regret their votes.
“I’m very disappointed. I’m very disappointed in her,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told NBC News this week. “If I were voting on her today, I definitely wouldn’t vote for her.”
Freshman Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., also said he would vote differently and oppose her nomination if he could do it again.
the DNC is as hostile to the american people as Republicans are. Its time to stop pretending they arent, the DNC is just a weaker, more pathetic arm of the RNC
Thats the dumbest pile of garbage I read all week. The republicans are actively destroying your country, using the military against protestors, ignoring rulings made by judges and much more.
Democrats are not fighting hard enough against it but to claim they are both the same is insanity. Srsly americans really are so stupid, they deserve everything they get.
I AGREE! The Democrats are NOT to blame For HELPING Confirm the People Destroying our Country while doing NOTHING to Slow them Down EXCEPT for Giving them LITERALLY Whatever they Want!
And thanks to democrats voting alongside with confirming a lot of positions and other things republicans wanted, They were able to do that.
So how about you fuck off with this hand wringing bullshit about the poor innocent democrats who are inviting the nazi’s to sit at their table, to eat, and be merry?
How about you fuck off with acting like democrats are as evil as republicans? People like you are the reason Trump won. If you have not voted for democrats in the last election you are just as responsible as every Trump voter and deserve what you are getting.
Go lick boots elsewhere, troll.
They may not be the “same”, but the outcome over the arc of several congressional terms and presidential administrations effectively is. No fascist power comes to primacy without a neoliberal faction suppressing policy reforms for the working class and coordinating with fascists to protect corruption.
Like I said they dont do enough. Yet they are the only ones who can do something and everyone who legally could but did not vote for Harris is responsible for this and deserves what is happening
Now, take it with grain of salt but as far as I, as a outsider, see it…
The biggest difference between Democrats and Republicans is the amount of balls. Republicans have the balls, and are willing to smack them to the wall to get what they want.
Democrats instead prefer to taking the easiest possible way out and not do anything. But at the end of the day, both are liking where this circus is going.
Nah. Democrats at least want to keep the status quo, the good ones want to improve things. Libertarians and republicans actively want to worsen stuff. Both want even more power for corperations. Republicans want fascism.
