Megyn Kelly blasts Kristi Noem: ‘She’s cosplaying ICE agent’

Podcaster Megyn Kelly is taking issue with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “cosplaying” an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

Kelly specifically mentioned how she dislikes the attempt to “glamourize the mission” of immigration authorities, pointing out Noem’s hair, makeup and fake lashes. The harsh words sparked a debate on X as people discussed Kelly’s sentiments and their own attitudes toward the secretary.

“She’s cosplaying ICE agent and she, of course, is doing it with 25 pounds of hair. Only to be outdone by her 30 pounds of makeup and false eyelashes. There’s no false eyelashes on an ICE raid!” an exasperated Kelly said. “Why does she have to keep doing this? She’s doing a great job, her actual performance as DHS secretary, in my view, anyway, has been amazing. Stop trying to glamourize the mission and put yourself in the middle of it as you cosplay ICE agent, which you’re not!”

“I can’t stand these photo ops, you guys. I think they diminish ICE, they diminish DHS, CBP. She’s not an agent, she’s an administrative policy person appointed by [President Donald] Trump because she’s very loyal to him. Fine, but stop with the glam, I mean she looks like I look right now but she’s out in the field with her gun being like ‘We’re going to go kick some a**,’” the podcaster continued.

X users discussed the clip:

Megyn needs to pump her breaks on this one. I could care less what Noem looks like as long as she is doing a good job. I am sure there are people out there that does not think Megyn is all that to look at. Women, support each other and stop being petty Megyn @megynkelly

I agree with her message. We aren’t playing so stop playing.

On the fence. She can’t help that she’s gorgeous. Doesn’t take away from what she’s doing. And actually, she brings a lot of attention to what’s going on. I say leave her alone. Nothing is status quo anymore. Thankfully those days are done!

She’s always worn her hair and makeup like this. Has never stopped her from doing her job or knowing how to shoot guns , which she does both very well!

So what? She’s delivering a message. At least she’s not pretending to be a man!!
