Kristi Noem left early, claiming she had an important FEMA meeting to attend. Yet they found out she stayed on Capitol Hill and the meeting had been canceled.

Congressman Moskowitz has confirmed that the FEMA meeting Noem left today's hearing for was cancelled.

She was getting grilled & couldn’t take it! She’s a coward just like her Orange Daddy!

In a surprising development this afternoon, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem left a scheduled committee hearing on the Department of Homeland Security earlier than expected, citing the need to attend a meeting related to FEMA. The decision quickly raised questions after a member of Congress claimed that the meeting she referenced was not actually taking place.

Secretary Noem informed those present that she needed to depart in order to chair a meeting of the FEMA review council. However, Moskowitz later stated that he was told the meeting in question had been canceled.

“Noem said she had to go chair the FEMA review council meeting. BUT I’m told that meeting was canceled,” Moskowitz said.


The conflicting accounts immediately drew attention, particularly given the importance of the DHS committee hearing and the sensitive nature of FEMA oversight. The abrupt departure, combined with the report that the meeting was not happening, left some lawmakers and observers seeking clarification about why the Secretary left and whether another obligation prompted her exit.

As of now, no further details have been provided about the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of the FEMA meeting or the reason for Noem’s unexpected departure. The lack of clarity has fueled ongoing discussion on Capitol Hill, and additional information may emerge as officials respond to inquiries.
