I am confused…does Noem have a security blanket she travels with??

A Coast Guard pilot who forgot to transfer Kristi Noem’s blanket was fired; until Noem realized no one else could fly her back home: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/chaos-kristi-noem-homeland-security-f095ac95?st=cGs1iM&reflink=article_copyURL_share

End snips

Some of the accounts blame her boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski, who travels with her, a lot.

and you are “fired”:

1) grin
2) run (don’t walk) to the nearest escape route
3) if you hear “wait! wait!” …no you didn’t. that was just some wind noise or something. keep running.
