Secretary Kristi Noem savaged a CNN report Thursday stating she delayed FEMA’s response to the deadly Texas flooding from last weekend.

Republicans, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, have largely responded to the crisis by demonstrating loyalty to Donald Trump and praising him for his federal aid. However, disgruntled citizens have called out Noem for her performative empathy toward the people in crisis.

Kristi Noem was slammed online after asking Instagram followers to pick a horseback portrait for South Dakota’s Capitol—just as Texas floods left nearly 120 dead. “You really posting portraits of yourself on the day Texas flooded and little girls died!

Secretary Kristi Noem responded to a CNN report alleging she has slowed response efforts following the catastrophic Texas floods, calling the claims 'absolutely trash.'

S an Antonio anchor Stephania Jimenez fumed Saturday over a press conference that featured Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott thanking each other and President Donald Trump instead of giving immediate updates on the lethal floods in central Texas.

The President said on social media that, 'Our Brave First Responders are on site doing what they do best,' as search for missing campers continues.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the deadly Texas flood, promising to upgrade "ancient" National Weather Service systems for better early warnings.

Asked shortly after the disaster whether he still intended to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency, President Trump said it wasn’t the right time to talk about it.
