The Homeland Security secretary said she had to get to another meeting—which turned out to have been canceled.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem abruptly ended her time before the House Homeland Security Committee Thursday, angering lawmakers by stepping away from the hot seat to attend a highly anticipated meeting on the future of FEMA.
Except that meeting never happened.
The FEMA hearing was scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. Noem was reportedly informed at 12:26 p.m. that it had been canceled, a DHS spokesperson told The Hill.
This is hilarious.
I bet she deliberately scheduled that FEMA meeting for the time at which she knew she would be getting grilled.
