"You left your blankie on a government jet, so your special employee Corey stepped forward to fire the pilot, midair" [View all]

"And while you make a daily mockery of our courts and our Constitution, you're treating the billions of dollars our colleagues showered on your department like a personal slush fund. You budgeted an astonishing $220 million for media consultant contracts so you can star in self-promoting photo shoots," he continued. "You're living rent-free in the official waterfront residence reserved for the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard."

"You spent $172 million to buy not one, but two luxury jets for your travel, and now you're using taxpayer funds to lease a third jet, a $70 million luxury 737 Max, with a queen-sized bedroom in the back, a deluxe serving bar, and four flat-screen TVs."

"Apparently, when your special blanket, your blankie, was left on one of the government jets and not transported over to the new one, your special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fire the pilot, midair, a 2003 Coast Guard Academy graduate and distinguished U.S. Coast Guard commander," he noted. "But then he had to be rehired immediately because there was no one else who could fly the two of you on the rest of the journey back home."

"Secretary Noem, you're flying high now, maybe even a little bit too close to the sun," Raskin added. "But with all these free planes and houses and pilots, you've traveled a long distance from your actual job and the things you should be doing as head of Homeland Security."
