House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made clear on Thursday that Democrats are not satisfied with the recent firings of former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump fired Bondi on April 2. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will replace Bondi in the interim.
This followed Noem’s ouster on March 5. Trump immediately announced then-Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) would become the next Secretary of Homeland Security.
The Senate has since confirmed Mullin and is now serving as DHS Secretary.
While speaking at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention, Jeffries took a huge victory lap over Bondi’s and Noem’s ousters as he revealed the next target on their hit list.
“Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is gone, and Pete Hegseth is next up,” Jeffries boasted.

Jeffries went on to launch an unhinged attack on Hegseth for his role in the Iran War and ridding the military of racist DEI policies.
“Just look at who they put in charge of the attack on DEI: Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in American history,” Jeffries whined.
“This guy can’t organize a two-car funeral!” he added. “He was a Fox News host, and now he’s the Secretary of Defense?” “No wonder things have turned out so horribly in the Middle East.”
“Pete Hegseth, leading the attack on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Those are American values.”

While one can debate the merits of Noem’s and Bondi’s firings, nothing will satisfy the Democrats until everyone in the Trump Administration is gone.
Should Democrats seize control of both houses of Congress this fall, count on the impeachment to proceed shortly thereafter.
