Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they’d now oppose her in the wake of Trump’s aggressive deportation plans and last week’s incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.

Five days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, seven Senate Democrats voted to confirm Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Nearly 5 months later, most of them are critical of her, with some going as far as to say they regret their votes.

“I’m very disappointed. I’m very disappointed in her,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told NBC News this week. “If I were voting on her today, I definitely wouldn’t vote for her.”

Freshman Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., also said he would vote differently and oppose her nomination if he could do it again.

    And thanks to democrats voting alongside with confirming a lot of positions and other things republicans wanted, They were able to do that.

      How about you fuck off with acting like democrats are as evil as republicans? People like you are the reason Trump won. If you have not voted for democrats in the last election you are just as responsible as every Trump voter and deserve what you are getting.
