Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem interrupts the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson during questions over the National Guard shooting in Washington.

Thompson had begun questioning Noem over the “unfortunate accident,” but the secretary cut in to interrupt the ranking Democrat.

“Unfortunate accident?” Noem retorted. She called it a “terrorist attack.”

The interaction devolved from there as Thompson questioned the department’s approval of asylum claim that allowed the suspect in the shooting to stay in the U.S., while Noem insisted it was the Biden administration’s vetting process that failed to properly screen the man who had worked alongside the U.S. military in Afghanistan.
