Kristi Noem is once again going viral for a photo op she had this week, prompting “The Daily Show” host Desi Lydic to dub the Secretary of Homeland Security “friendly fire Barbie.” Why? Because Noem can be seen unwittingly pointing a gun right at a U.S. agent’s head.
As the Comedy Central host teed up the footage on Thursday night, she joked that this particular moment “was less like a photo op and more like a photo-watch where you point that thing.” Because indeed, in the video, Noem is sandwiched between two federal agents while holding a massive gun — and the barrel of that gun was pointed almost directly at the head of the man next to her.
