Noem Can't Explain Why She Hired 8-Day-Old Company for Ad Campaign

[UpInArms]

The Department of Homeland Security tapped a little-known ad firm to produce Kristi Noem’s multimillion-dollar ad campaign during the government shutdown last year. But when asked to explain her rationale before a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday, Noem was practically speechless.

Reading off a DHS notice, Colorado Representative Joe Neguse noted that the department had identified just four companies “out of the hundreds of thousands of companies in the United States” as potential hires for the campaign.

.. snip …

The money from Noem’s agency was funneling directly into the pockets of her friends and allies at the Strategy Group, a group with myriad ties to the ex–South Dakota governor, including having once employed her alleged beau (Corey Lewandowski) and a CEO who is married to Noem’s ex-chief DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

Safe America Media, meanwhile, has no website, no experience, and quiet contracts. The only substantial evidence that the company actually exists at all is that it shares an address with a property owned by veteran Republican operative Michael McElwain.

10. And infidelity. I'm cool with that as long as they are cool the next time a Dem

Assholes

17. Cheating is only evil, immoral and wrong when a Democrat does it.

It will be scandalous daily for weeks, if not months. They will clutch tbeir pearls and speak of nothing else. Shame, shame, shame.

When a Republican does it, it's nobody's business; nothing to see here; move along.

2. Nothing suspicious about that...

And the sad part is there will likely be zero consequences for the grifting that all of these Republicans are doing.

8. But the DOW!! How can you even bring this up when the DOW is back under...

...49,000?

At a time like this we've got to all pull together and get the DOW back over 50,000, and pointing out the insane corruption of one government contract certainly isn't helping that!

Eye on the ball guys!

9. It's not that she can't explain why....

she won't. They're political cronies from her puppy shooting days in South Siberia. Payback for making her wealthy.

The level of criminality in tRump's administration is off the freaking charts!

11. Pam Blondie can add this to their list of corruption to cover up.

[Johonny]

12. Because she is fucking a corrupt asshole

That murdered her dogs, cheats on her husband, and steals pur tax dollars. But thats okay because she is willing to fucking cold blooded murder Americans and not give a fuck.

That's the only quality Trump wants. Heartless soulless murders.
