Fox News taken aback by Kristi Noem's rattled remarks
Fox News host John Roberts pointed out how fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared "rattled" while delivering a speech to the Sergeants Benevolent Association of New York in Nashville, seemingly unaware she was being replaced. Roberts noted Noem's uncharacteristic speech mistakes, suggesting she may have known about her impending dismissal but was compartmentalizing. As Noem spoke, Fox News cut to live footage of incoming DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin entering an elevator at the Capitol, speaking on his phone, and claiming, "I'll be back." Roberts humorously questioned whether Mullin was genuinely on a call or pretending to avoid conversation, drawing from his own experience of using phones as social avoidance tactics. Mullin never returned to face the cameras.
