Sick Video: Leftists Swarm Kristi Noem as She Cradles Her Grandchild While Trying to Leave Hearing

Share

To be clear, not a single good thing came from the senseless assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

But if there was one illuminating thing that came from the tragedy, it’s that the left finally went fully mask-off (ironic given what the COVID lockdowns were like).

Between dancing on Kirk’s grave and clipping out-of-context clips to denigrate a dead man, leftists proved that there was no low that they wouldn’t stoop to.

Given what we now know to be cold, hard facts about the left, this video of a mob swarming Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — who was carrying her grandchild — really shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Yet it’s hard not to be a little surprised with the craven depravity of leftist mobs:

On Thursday, Noem was leaving a House hearing when she was vilely accosted by a mob of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters.

A couple of points to make before even getting to the baby:

  1. Peacefully protesting government officials is a tale as old as America.
  2. There was nothing peaceful about this.

You could hear the mob yell phrases like “Shame on you!” and “How do you sleep at night?” and “You are the modern S.S. and Gestapo!” all while filming the encounter.

More so, they crowded Noem and were physically accosting the group she was with — a group that included an Angel Mom, according to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin.

(Melugin initially reported that the baby Noem was holding was her grandson, but sharp-eyed observers noted that the baby had a bow, suggesting it was actually Noem’s granddaughter.)

Noem has become the face of the Department of Homeland Security, which ICE operates under, during President Donald Trump’s second term.

That alone opens her up to all manner of vitriol (and to be clear, nobody is suggesting Noem is somehow above reproach) from the left, who are enamored with open borders and unchecked immigration.

But the real reason this viral video of Noem and her grandchild is so unnerving isn’t just the involvement of the baby.

The left has made crystal clear that killing anyone associated with ICE is acceptable.

Just look at what happened to Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin recently.

Noem’s second-in-command faced unhinged and deplorable death threats from a pair of punks in New Jersey, who had been threatening to use medieval torture methods to kill McLaughlin.

And now the anti-ICE left has gone from threatening to torture and kill a woman, to publicly harassing a woman and her grandchild.

Who’d have thought that in a viral video with a baby in it, the biggest babies in the video would be most of the screeching adults?
