“…in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.”
Within DHS, Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don't trust and have fired employees-in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.
