To make sure the “right people” are voting? Who the fuck are the “right people?” And it’s not government’s job to choose our leaders. It’s the American people’s job. I served in Congress with Kristi Noem. It’s not at all surprising to hear her spew this un-American shit.
Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Over and over again, ICE has not told the truth about what they did in Minnesota, smearing people as "terrorists" or "assassins” and giving false accounts of what happened. This is just one unbelievable example of many. But this was under oath.

And it’s all because of Donald Trump. The reason why there is zero accountability in America for anyone who was pals with Epstein is because Epstein’s best pal is in the White House. That’s why.
People are being cast out of polite society across Europe for lying about their relationship with Epstein. Meanwhile, in the United States, virtually no one faces consequences on any level. It’s infuriating to watch.
