‘Ask Qatar To Buy Her One’: Noem Ripped for Allegedly Seeking $50M for New Private Jet

Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ohio) criticized Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday, stating that the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security — on which Underwood serves as the ranking member — received a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard’s spending plan: $50 million for a new Gulfstream V jet intended for Noem’s personal use.

"She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way, but she wants a new one paid for with your taxpayer dollars. We should be investing in our national security and improving the lives of our Coasties – not wasting taxpayer dollars on luxury travel and political stunts," Underwood wrote in a post on the social platform X.

Reacting to her post, former DHS spokesperson Alex Howard said in an X post: "This isn’t a spend plan — it’s a shopping spree. While Coasties fix ships with duct tape, Noem’s ordering her second Gulfstream like she’s replacing a stolen handbag. DHS under MAGA is less about homeland security, more about homeland celebrity."

Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias wrote: "Should just ask Qatar to buy her one."

And both are extremely terrible at their jobs.

[Bettie]

20. Right...I remembered her

photo ops in ICE gear. Wrong office, still possible for her to get some humans to kill if she really wants to.

6. These people are so disgusting.

They all think they are part of the Team trDUMP royal entourage. Everything has to be five star, first class, pResidential suite, and finally dipped in 24 carat gold.

7. Based upon her answers at yesterday's House hearing, she's not worth 50 cents.

15. So many republican politicians are just celebrity wannabes

They probably would have liked a career in show business, but didn't have any talent, so now we're stuck with them in positions that they are clearly unqualified to perform.

[patphil]

16. DHS under MAGA is less about homeland security, more about homeland celebrity.

She's getting used to the celebrity, and her net worth has gone up dramatically since 2017.
Why shouldn't she be able to travel in the stye befitting her importance?

Send in the DOGE, this girl's out of control.

17. Boy, I can just imagine her cosplay for THIS one...

[Retrograde]

19. How much is she squandering

on those constant self-promos thanking Donnie for keeping the country safe from an imaginary invasion? If she hadn’t spend that on showing what a sycophant she is there might have been some money left in her budget

21. The think they deserve to be treated like royalty.

All of the corrupt MAGAts do.
