Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has drawn criticism for reportedly continuing to use waterfront government housing at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., nearly two months after her March ouster. According to the Wall Street Journal and Coast Guard officials, Noem occupied a housing unit usually designated for the Coast Guard commandant. House Homeland Security Committee Democrats sarcastically posted, "We'd like to report a squatter," while former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA) questioned why Noem maintained government housing while holding a "pretend job" as special envoy. Noem was fired after President Donald Trump grew frustrated with her leadership, particularly her expenditure of over $200 million on television advertisements featuring herself. Trump subsequently appointed her special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, reported the New York Times, and named Markwayne Mullin as her replacement. Critics highlighted the contrast between Noem's continued use of taxpayer-funded luxury housing and conservative rhetoric about personal responsibility and welfare spending.Watch the video below.
