No one should feel sorry for former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem because, if anyone deserves this, she does:

A new report claims that former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s alleged boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski, dumped her after she was fired by Donald Trump. However, this has not been confirmed and is currently just a rumor. Noem was removed from her position as Homeland Security Secretary on March 6, 2026.

Multiple sources have claimed recently that Corey Lewandowski has parted ways with his alleged girlfriend, Kristi Noem, after she was fired as Homeland Security Secretary.

A source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice, “The relationship was always about power. Without the job and the access, Corey isn’t interested anymore. Corey loves proximity to power. When Kristi had it, he was glued to her. Now that she doesn’t, he’s gone.” Another source went on to state, “This was never a romance story. It was a power story.”

Leaving aside the salaciousness, they are all such conniving, dishonest people–and they all seem to be attracted to each other, if not romantically. While decency is not sufficient, as there are plenty of people who are upright in their personal lives, but absolutely awful in terms of policy, decency is necessary. They lack it entirely, and, worse, I do not think they even realize there is a better way to live as a human being. It’s clear the whole “empathy is bad” concept floating around right wing circles is an attempt to justify their personal decrepitude.

Just the worst people.

Aside: Much of husband’s family wants him to dump her, for what that’s worth.
