Boston Globe: “On a trip to Vermont following the fatal shooting of a US Border Patrol agent, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem… parroted Trump’s taunts while standing on the Canadian side of the line.”
Said a bystander: “She stood on the American side and said, ‘USA No. 1.’ Then she crossed the line and said, ‘The 51st state.’ She did it at least three times and was very clear in saying, ‘USA No. 1,’ and didn’t even say ‘Canada.’ Just, ‘The 51st state.’ ”
