Another in an ongoing series
Dear Senator;
I am a resident of Pennsylvania and a constituent of yours and I'd like you to answer a question or two.
This is another question about Secretary Noem's Department of Homeland Security - I ask because it's such a threat to our democracy and you voted to confirm her.
President Donald Trump announced his appointments to an advisory council inside the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday, with a list that includes a right-wing news commentator, former lawmakers, Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani and a top former campaign adviser.
The announcement by Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the council, established first in 2002, will provide “real-time, real-world and independent advice on homeland security operations.”
The list includes right-wing political commentator Mark Levin, as well as Giuliani, who helped lead efforts to try and overturn the 2020 election results and was later sued for defamation by two Georgia election workers; a lawsuit he lost before a jury in Washington, DC.
Didn't Rudy Giuliani lose $148 million in that defamation suit connected to Trump's 2020 election lies?
And wasn't he also disbarred for telling those lies?
The answer to both questions is, of course, yes.
CNN also reports:
The appointments also include Corey Lewandowski, a Trump campaign leader in 2016 who is currently a chief adviser to Noem.
And wasn't Lewandowski removed from a MAGA PAC for (allegedly) sexually harrassing a Trump donor named Trashelle Odom?
Again, the answer is yes.
Specifically, harassing this way:
“On the evening of September 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada, I attended a dinner to support a charity and spend time with wonderful friends,” Odom said in a statement to POLITICO. “He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me, and made me feel violated and fearful,” she said, referring to Lewandowski.
Giuliani and Lewandowski appointed to an advisory council?
How is any of that a good idea? And do you still support Noem's appointment to head DHS?
I'll await your answer, Senator.
As always, I'll post here with whatever response I get from the Senator.
