'Daily Show' Sends Kristi Noem Back To Reality For Flunking This Simple Quiz
'Daily Show' correspondent Ronny Chieng on Tuesday slammed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she fumbled a response to a question on habeas corpus, referring to the constitutional right to due process as the right of the president to 'remove people from this country.'
'Anyway, Kristi Noem, you still don't know the basics of American law so I'm sorry to say —,' he said as dramatic music played, a play on Noem reportedly liking a reality TV show idea where immigrants battle it out for U.S. citizenship.
'We're going to have to take YOU out of USA!'
Moments earlier, Chieng said Americans shouldn't worry if they don't know what habeas corpus was as Noem 'didn't Google it either.'
He later turned to a separate question Noem took at a Senate committee hearing from Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.), who asked Noem where the Suspension Clause of habeas corpus was in the Constitution.
'I do not, nope,' Noem bluntly replied.
'Do you know which article it is in?' Kim asked.
'No, I do not, sir,' Noem added.
'Well, it is in Article I,' Kim noted.
Chieng went on to call on lawmakers to stop asking Noem 'harder questions.'
'Like, how would senators like it if Kristi Noem asked you questions that she was an expert in, huh? 'Hey, Senator Kim, do you know how to trick a puppy into walking into an open grave,' quipped Chieng, referring to Noem's puppy killing scandal.
'No? Not so smart, now, are you?'
