WATCH: “Do you Want me to Answer Your Questions or Not?” – Sec Kristi Noem HUMILIATES Rude Rep. Shri Thanedar During Committee Hearing Attacks, Demands for Resignation

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem destroyed Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) on Thursday during a House Homeland Security Committee Hearing, where he asked her nasty questions and didn’t even let her answer. 

Thanedar thought he was prepared with his graphic, which states “Kristi Noem Lies to the American People,” behind him, but he had no idea what he was walking into.

Much like LaMonica McIver and other Democrats on the Committee, Thanedar thought he was owning the Secretary, but he just looked like an idiot.

Throughout the five-minute exchange, Noem handled herself like a total professional, keeping her cool and not allowing him to stop her from finishing her answer.

"Not true!" Thanedar repeatedly whined throughout her testimony. Eventually, he asked her a question, and before she could even utter a word, he stammered, "I’m sick of your lies, and the American people demand the truth."

Noem fired back, "Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true."

At the end of his time, the Indian-born Representative, who can barely even speak English, asked, "Madam Secretary, your incompetence and your inability to truthfully carry out your duties of Secretary of Homeland Security. If you're not fired, will you resign?"

Noem totally dunked on him, responding, "Sir, I will consider your asking me to resign as an endorsement of my work. Thank you very much," which clearly embarrassed him as he ended the questioning abruptly.

Thanedar: I know the American people have been demanding answers from this administration on their unlawful actions, so I hope we are able to get some useful answers from our witnesses today. Secretary Noem, this past May, I asked you during a congressional hearing if it was the policy of DHS to follow orders issued by federal courts. You said on the record, and I'm quoting here, We are following all federal orders, end of my quote— end of your quote. Secretary, Noem, you lied to me under oath that day, you lied to the American people, and you have betrayed the trust placed upon you in your role as Secretary of Homeland Security. You defied federal court orders when you refused to order the deportation flights to El Salvador in March to turn around.

Federal Courts have also found your department to have violated federal injunctions in your continued to send non citizens on deportation flights, with some courts having called your orders unlawful. Secretary Noem, I just have three questions for you. One, why did you lie under oath by saying DHS was following all federal court orders when they clearly were not? Question two— let me finish my questions— question two, why did you misled the American people when you said that no American citizens have been arrested or detained by federal immigration agents? And my last question number three, Donald Trump said that your ICE agents haven't gone far enough. Do you think terrorizing American citizens and assaulting peaceful protesters isn't far enough?

Congressman, the Department of Homeland Security and this administration complies with all federal court orders. We always have, and we always will—

Thanedar: Not true.

Noem: And we will continue to appeal. And sir, I will even tell you that at the highest court, at the Supreme Court, the Department of Homeland Security in our litigation, has an over 90% success rate in winning at the highest court in our battle against activist judges across this country—

Thanedar: Madam, Madam Secretary, look--

Noem: Activist judges that we will continue to appeal, and then when it gets to the highest court and we get a decision, it is proven that were right, that we have been compliant. I will also say—

Thanedar: Madam Secretary, let me—

Noem: Do you want me to answer your questions or not?

Thanedar: I do, but let me you haven't been telling us the truth. Look, there have been at least 170 known cases of citizens being arrested or detained by federal immigration agents this year alone. This is the truth. Are you lying to the American people right now by denying these reports?

Noem: When we are doing our targeted enforcement operations against criminal illegal aliens, individuals that are in that area may be detained until we verify who they are, and then they are released. This has been done for years, and every single law enforcement operation that has always happened, we follow the same protocols, and we continue to do that. We have never once deported an American citizen. We have not held them and charged them—

Thanedar: Not true! Not true!

Noem: When we find out and verify their identity, then that is when they are released. You also asked about ICE agents going far enough. Sir, I will tell you that every single ICE agent, CBP agent, federal law enforcement officer that's out there doing their work every day, none of them will rest until our communities are safe. None of them will rest until terrorists and criminals are off of our streets, and our children and our grandchildren can grow up—

Thanedar: Let me reclaim my time here, please. Let me recla— Secretary Noem, it is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring more federal orders?

Noem: We always—

Thanedar: I’m sick of your lies, and the American people demand the truth.

Noem: Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.

Thanedar: I’m sick of your lies. The American people are sick of this lies. American people demand the truth.

Noem: America is very happy that finally, they have a president in the White House that gets up every day to keep them safe.

Thanedar: Madam Secretary, your incompetence and your inability to truthfully carry out your duties of Secretary of Homeland Security. If you're not fired, will you resign?

Noem: Sir, I will consider your asking me to resign as an endorsement of my work. Thank you very much.
