Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday told a Democratic member of Congress that she took pride in his call for her resignation.

"I will consider your asking me to resign an endorsement of my work," Noem told Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich. Thanedar had asked her if she would sign if Trump didn't fire her.

Noem made her retort as part of her testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee. 

Thanedar first won election to the House in 2022. He is most well-known for introducing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump in April.
