Am no prude, but found Kristie Noem's visit to that scary El Salvador prison unsettling.

[allegorical oracle]

She could've worn more dignified clothing -- a nice pantsuit, perhaps, and less jewelry. Just seemed like she was purposely trying to look "hot."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing backlash for using a crowded prison cell filled with deported migrants in El Salvador as the backdrop for a video threatening to prosecute people who come to the United States illegally.

snip

Behind Noem in the video is a prison cell filled with men who are huddled together, trying to fit onto three-tier metal detention beds. The men wear uniform outfits: white t-shirts and white underpants with freshly shaved heads – keeping many of their identities concealed. Some are shirtless with their tattoos visible and others wear medical face masks.

Administration officials have not confirmed the identity of the individuals they sent nor the crimes they supposedly committed. A federal judge has blocked officials from continuing to send migrants to the prison – though a lawsuit currently accuses the administration of defying that court order.

1. Camera ho

Eye effs the camera

That’s why it’s creepy and uncomfortable to watch.

2. Her fashion statement had nothing to do with the monstrosity of this video.

The Nazis had sharp-looking uniforms. This certainly is a concentration camp.

She is a sadistic idiot. This image will live in history. This is done in the name of
the United States of America.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. I completely agree. It was in the poorest of taste

[Think. Again.]

4. That was the purpose of shipping her there to film it...

They are using her to normalize what we all see as horrendous.

Once that video has made a few rounds on family tv sets, massive amounts of Americans will become comfortable with it, and yes, she wore casual clothes on purpose.

5. It is like Noem + Bondi were incubated in the same toxic couldron.

They both have a lot of Fascist blood flowing thru their veins. A mix of primadonna and real adolecent mean girl personas going on there.

6. How many of those prisoners had

due process?

[Mad_Machine76]

19. The truth is:

We don't know and we're not going to be told unless they are forced to.

[Red Mountain]

7. Packed in there like a concentration

..............................

[sheshe2]

8. She looks like she was dressed for a trip...

...to the gravel pit to shoot Cricket and her pet goat again. I am just surprised that she didn't turn around and execute the men in the cage.

[crud]

9. Sadistic n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. It's a warning. Don't Come Here! nt

[mr715]

11. It is a juxtaposition of sex and violence

Serious sadism, but also self-loathing.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

17. Yep. It's sickening.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. I would place money on the probability that they found the biggest chested men with

scary tattoos and had them remove their shirts for that photo op.

[GenThePerservering]

13. This is Magat porn

Get her in a tight shirt and botox lips in front of a cage full of men and let her talk tough. These guys beat off to this stuff.

[allegorical oracle]

16. Saw video of her visit this a.m. and she was climbing stairs. Her jeans were so

tight that I wondered if she'd manage it.

[valleyrogue]

14. She didn't need to show off her 60k Rolex watch, that's for sure. n/t

[jalan48]

15. She's a Nazi piece of shit.

[Mysterian]

18. There must be accountability when patriots regain control of the USA

Never again must these outrages be allowed to happen in our names.

[spanone]

20. She's as vapid as margie greene.

[Meowmee]

21. Awful 😢

She is ugly in every way... botox city and fake fake fake, an insecure nazi idiot.

[AmandaRuth]

22. she wants to be looked at. by men. and not as gov official either.

i wonder if she has checked up on the female detainees. or the kids.

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. The audience for that was Trump

He's the one she wants to notice her. Support among MAGA may help her too, but there are only a few people who have real power in this regime - Musk, Trump, and maybe Miller. She wanted pictures for Fox to show to Trump.
