Sen DFL Leader Murphy “Good riddance to Kristi Noem, whose cruelty and corruption is a reflection of the mission that sent her to Minnesota. This is beginning of Noem’s accountability, not the end. She lost a job title and access to a private jet. Minnesotans lost their freedom”
“Kristi Noem led a lawless and violent agency that wreaked havoc on our state and killed two Americans. Her firing is welcome news, but it is much too late,” said US Senator Smith. “Firing Kristi Noem will not bring back Alex Pretti. It will not bring back Renee Good.”
Lt Gov on Noem firing: “Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Just because you got fired, Minnesotans won’t forget what you did to our neighbors. We will continue to fight for you to be held accountable.”
