President Donald Trump on Thursday fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and said he will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

Trump made the announcement on social media on Thursday, two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from GOP members as well as Democrats.

Trump says he’ll make Noem a “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas,” a new security initiative that he said would focus on the Western Hemisphere.

Edit: Here's who is replacing her- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markwayne_Mullin#Personal_life

Mullin voted against reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013.[93][94] His vote drew criticism from other Cherokee citizens in Indian Country Today.[94]

I think he's jealous of the sex jet, lol.

Edit: Nope, it's because the new guy doesn't mind violence against women too. See the edit in the body of the post.
