What Do Kirstjen Nielsen's Remarks Say About President Trump's White House? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[kray]

She's aware of the assessment, doesn't deny Russian meddling, but refuses to concede that it was to help Trump win. These grifters will all need to be prosecuted after all this is over.

[felinecontrolled]

Telling the truth is not a tough job. It's the right thing to do and should not be political.

[AlexisMitchell]

She's either incompetent or a liar... She's likely both.

[phosgene]

put the democrats in control of the house and senate and this all ends. at this point it's not just a good idea, it's your duty as a loyal

[mwilk]

Using the word intelligence in regard to this administration is insane.

[geraldcarron]

She's just another one of the best people around Trump. He must have picked her off the discount pile.

[mrcoolsdream]

Its quite clear that when people in Trump's cabinet are asked questions they first think to themselves how would Trump answer this question and that is how they reply, which is clearly making them look very stupid.

[Cloud-zblw]

Does every person in the trump administration have amnesia or something ? Smh

[PurpleRain]

Talking about Russia meddling is kryptonite in the trump cabinet so they go on tv like good little zombies and play dumb to appease their boss.

[neilhalliday]

Kirstjen Nielsen (Nielsen!) said during her confirmation hearing that she wasn't sure Norway was a predominantly white country. Not seeing a lot of evidence she's smart.

[PaperYGO]

It should be against the law and punishable by prison and public shaming if an elected official lies.

[davidfenton]

"Oh sorry I was like ill that day." " Oh sorry my eyes healed over that day and all my orifices got clogged - must have missed it - my bad!"

[rickygarcia]

Denial and confirmed all in one statement.

[Suisuihoz]

We have to ask... What's in it for her?

[lindag]

Nielsen might be smart, but her memory and IQ disappeared when she became a cabinet member for this administration.

[djyseuu]

Carter page was under surveillence since 2013 then joined trump campaign later. And this woman says she was not aware. Wow. Bravo. Irony

[kulhuk]

Boy, Nielsen is looking rough. Trump take a toll on everyone.

[mzb]

Nielsen is just a blonde version of Sarah Hucka-Sanders and a better looking version of Kelly Ann Conway.

[deirdreschoen]

Everyone of them needs to be voted out

[kenbrownfield]

We're not safe with Nielsen in charge of homeland security.
