BREAKING: Former Marine Senator Ruben Gallego publicly humiliates MAGA Homeland Security Secretary Krist Noem for posing with weapons on “Instagram” with ICE agents — and destroys her for requesting a $50 million jet.
“Fascist Barbie” went up against a real soldier and got her hat handed to her…

“The Department is overspending right now, it’s on track to run out of money again by mid-July to support a mass deportation campaign that can’t be afforded,” Gallego said to Noem during a hearing.
“At the same time though, you recently requested a $50 million allotment for a private Gulfstream jet,” he went on. “That’s $50 million of taxpayer money to subsidize some of your national tours that you’ve been going on.”
“Meanwhile Republicans are about to kick another 13 million people off Medicaid to fund taxes for the rich on the backs of working class Americans,” he continued. “So how can you justify spending $50 million on a jet while your Department is definitely overspending and Republicans in Congress are about to strip off healthcare from millions of Americans.”

“Well senator thank you for the question,” replied Noem. “We are spending our dollars appropriately and will be on budget. With reference to the airframe, that was the requested dollars were put in for, that’s for the Coast Guard.”
“Uh, it’s to replace an existing jet that is over twenty years old and is beyond its usable hours and the Coast Guard for many, many years has been neglected and has many airframes that have been grounded because they can’t even be maintained anymore,” she rambled on. “The suppliers, that give us parts and repairs and maintenance for them, have said that they’ll no longer support that kind of a mission.”
“We have cutters that haven’t been completed, that haven’t been deployed out across the world, and then we also beyond that, uh, are asking for a request to build out the number of Coast Guard members that we need in place,” she said. “We’re asking for fifteen thousand—”

“Are you going to have access to that $50 million Gulfstream jet that the Coast Guard is going to supply?” interjected Gallego.
“The Coast Guard will use that jet exactly how it uses the jets that it has today, exactly in the same manner that it uses the ones it has in place today,” she said.
“Would you consistently be using it to travel?” pressed Gallego.
“I don’t know if I would use that one or if I would use the other one. I have no idea,” said Noem. “But I do spend time out there with our components, making sure, uh, that they are, um, know that they have a Secretary that’s engaged with them, that’s visiting with them, seeing what their needs are.”
“We’ve seen the Instagram photos,” interjected Gallego.

“No sir, they’re not photos. They’ve meant the world to the individuals at the Department of Homeland Security,” insisted Noem.
“I’ve seen some of them especially some really bad weapons handling,” said Gallego.
The senator nailed it. Noem spends much of her time posing for photos with weapons and tactical gear in support of Donald Trump’s incredibly cruel mass deportation program. She seems far more interested in how she looks holding a gun than in serving the needs of the American people.

This isn’t the first time that Gallego has criticized her for her incompetent firearm fetishization either. In April, her ripped into her on X for sharing a photo of herself posing with a gun during an ICE raid.
“1. Close your ejection port,” Gallego wrote, referring to a rifle component.
“2. If you have no rounds in the chamber why do you have a magazine inserted?” he continued.
“3. If you have rounds in the chamber or in the magazine why are you flagging the guy next to you?” the senator continued, referring to the fact that Noem was recklessly aiming her gun at a law enforcement officer’s head.
“4. Stop deporting people without due process,” he added.

The brutal takedown from Gallego was in response to a video that Noem posted to X showcasing her outfit during the aforementioned raid.
“Human traffickers. Drug Smugglers. 18thStreet Gang members,” Noem wrote, conveniently eliding the fact that the Trump administration has also been deporting innocent people, including a father from Maryland.
“Spent the morning in Phoenix with our brave @ICEgov and Arizona law enforcement arresting these dirtbags and getting them off our streets,” she added.
This woman is a bad joke told at the expense of the American people. She’s wasting our tax dollars for personal pleasure while inflicting mass suffering on marginalized people. The sooner she’s out of government, the better.
