How much of a mess is Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem?
We all have eyes,
but this is one of those stories that I think it went viral
because I think it speaks to a lot of the frustration with how Kristi Noem makes personnel decisions and decisions more broadly.

We were told by numerous sources that she was on a trip and you know she flies a Coast Guard plane or used to fly a Coast Guard plane and there were mechanical issues with the plane so they switched planes and the pilot and the crew forgot to move her blanket onto the new plane.
That angered Kristy Noem so much that Corey Lewandowski fired the pilot.
But after the event, they realized that they had no one to fly them home,
so they had to reinstate the pilot.
Coming up on Today Explained, Kristi Noem has issues.
