Requiem for a Lightweight

Inside Kristi Noem's exit

It turns out spending $220 million on a self-promotional ad campaign—and implying that President Trump approved it—was the tipping point.

In this video, I discuss the culture of fear Noem built at FEMA, including the use of polygraphs to hunt for leakers, and the audible cheers that broke out when her departure was announced. From being fired right before a speech in Nashville to being handed a meaningless “Shield of the Americas” title, her exit was a masterclass in public humiliation.
