Kristi Noem shocks with out-of-control 'screaming' at DHS staff meeting: insiders

https://www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-corey-lewandowski/

The former South Dakota governor and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski gathered DHS officials to complain about June reports showing that she demanded to personally sign off on payments over $100,000, which caused delays and bottlenecks throughout the department. Employees told New York Magazine the pair – rumored to be a couple – harangued them in harsh terms.

“They were screaming!" a DHS employee told the magazine. “The level of disrespect and screaming at everybody in that room — I think people were really shocked and taken aback.”

Another former DHS staffer said Noem and Lewandowski were clearly embarrassed by the reports, and they said the duo fed off one another's negative energy as Noem dropped “multiple F-bombs" on subordinates. Sources said they were baffled when the pair accused others in the room of “lining their pockets” from government contracts – which struck them as projection.

*****

Lewandowski, a former Donald Trump campaign adviser, has been serving on a temporary basis as Special Government Employee after the White House ended his campaign to be DHS chief of staff over his alleged payments from foreign governments and rumors of an affair – the "worst-kept secret in DC," according to one official – between the two, who are each married to other people.

1. Ewww. I hope they aren't going to breed n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

18. They are both married to other people and have already..

Had children.

Kristi and Bryon Noem ​have three and

Corey Lewandowski and his wife Alison Hardy have four.

2. It's a good thing there were no dogs present.

[Walleye]

3. The staff, just lucky that she didn't shoot them

I see Trump couldn’t get Lewandowski in at cabinet level through Senate confirmation. So he put her in instead , same Lewandowski running things. she is just there to provide a TV telegenic personality.

4. She's so nice she'd shoot your dog.

7. Botox Barbie puppy killer is my name for her!

[Dulcinea]

22. Did her face melt off & slither across the floor?

A la South Park?

[kimbutgar]

24. When I think of her I also think of that caricature on South Park!

[Ilsa]

5. It's like watching the evening TV soap opera Scandal.

It was a fun show.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Drugs, booze, bipolar?

[Prairie Gates]

8. It seems that one of the things MAGA wants to bring back is Screaming Bosses

This is what the American people have been pining for, truly: getting yelled at again at work by some unhinged manager-type.

Listen, I hate the soft, passive-aggressive Bill Lumbergh manager as much as the next guy, but the vein-popping violent fits of the old-timey boss (which we've now seen confirmed from Hegseth, Miller, and Noem, and of course The Ketchup-Thrower-in-Chief) is not really something to go back to either.

9. Does she at

Least eat the dogs she shoots? A simple ethical request we ask of all hunters. Eat what you kill.
“She’s EATING the Cats and Dog’s!

[prodigitalson]

10. It would be aweful to work for either one

both at once seems like a circle of hell

[Miles Archer]

11. One major difference between Trump, 1st term, and Trump, 2nd term, is...

...most of his violent (spoken) rhetoric happened at MAGAt rallies in Term 1. That's where he told cops to not be careful about suspects' heads when they throw them in the back seat of the patrol car, and that thing about telling security to throw out protesters, "rough 'em up, I'll pay your legal bills."

When he WASN'T at a rally he was STILL rude and petulant with reporters, but in Term 2, he has no "off" switch.

And the only reason I bring this up is that in Term 1, Lewandowski was the face of violence and bullying in Trump's orbit at a time when there were still "adults in the room."

I think that on the day I discovered Lewandowski was going to be my boss, I'd be boxing up my belongings and heading for the exit.

[prodigitalson]

13. Yeah, if I were some non political agency person

or hell a full blown MAGA, there is no way I'd work for that guy.

I started to say I bet their home has two settings, walking on eggshells and screaming the paint off the walls...then I realized their coupling is not only supposed to not be true but they are both married to other people...

lovely

[Submariner]

12. She must have scored some scorching coke from a detainee

and we're just witnessing the side effects.

[prodigitalson]

14. its the comedown that sucks...im told

[dalton99a]

26. Taking a cut from Homan's bribes?

That's why she carries so much cash in her purse.

[Grins]

16. An argument from the Reich has long been that women are too emotional ...

….for senior positions in the greater offices of government. (Especially “that time of the month”…)

Sumbitch!!!! They were right!

[Marcuse]

17. From the Party of Alternate Facts.

[Scalded Nun]

19. This is what you get when you hire (or elect) someone with the emotional maturity of a 3-year old.

And I am most likely disparaging many 3-year olds.

[Skittles]

20. try to imagine behaving like that in ANY other job

how far you'd get

[Vinca]

21. They're lucky she didn't shoot them.

[tanyev]

23. Sounds like she's too hysterical and emotional to be the head of the DHS.

[stollen]

25. The employees are lining their pockets??

That sounds like a huge deflection, meaning Noem and Lewandowski are lining THEIR pockets. This comes just after the revelation Homan was taking bribes.

Remember when Noem's purse was stolen with $3000 inside? Are Noem and Lewandowski getting in on the $action$?

[Demsrule86]

27. They should be careful...with psycho Barbie...she might shoot them like her dog.
