Summary
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced backlash for mocking Canada during a visit to the U.S.-Canada border in Vermont.
At the Haskell Free Library, which straddles both countries, Noem repeatedly stepped over the border line, declaring with a grin “U.S.A. No. 1” and calling Canada “the 51st state.”
Critics, including Canadian officials and social media commentators, condemned her remarks as insulting and unprofessional.
The stunt comes amid heightened U.S.-Canada tensions, with Trump imposing tariffs and openly suggesting annexation, prompting a strong response from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Did anyone ask her why she isn’t wearing a suit?
She’s a DEI hire.
They’re all DEI hires. None of them are the most qualified candidate.
Political DEI hire.
They should have had cops there to arrest her when she crossed into Canada. I’d bet big money the stupid bitch had a gun on her.
America is fucking gross.
As someone from there I agree. This excuse for a female human is an example of the corrupt darkness that comprises this government.
Yeah, it’s like our worst turds floated to the top and are now running it into the ground. So, so stupid.
Arrest her for illegally crossing the border.
Then send her to a concentration camp with no contact for months. Give her the real American migrant experience.
She’s acting up. Better take her out back and shoot her.
So does this mean she illegally entered our country?
Yes. Please arrest her and lock her away.
Canadian here.
Who?
Another Canadian here
Oh, an American acting like an idiot and talking like a jerk? … Which one?
USian here. ikr?! at the moment we all look the same. I am so fucking sorry.
edit: Ugly American (Pejorative) for those who may not have known.
At least she didn’t kill anything during the event.
I’ve heard she kills the vibe at any event she attends.
Yep, hide your puppies.
What a brainwashed idiot
I’m GLAD we’re finally doing something about our NonViolent Trading Partners and Allies! This will SURELY bring our Prices down and make us SAFER!
It would be fucking grand if every single trump supporter would die in a fire.
Everyone who expected this turd circus to be any more competent than it was last time: Why?
most of us have the memory of a goldfish; its a surpise every time.
There is nothing to gain from this weird BS rhetoric, but plenty to lose.
I guess she’s only there to do dumb political stunts
