Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, the secretary confirmed Monday.

Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved.
The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said.

The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments, the person added.

This story has been updated with Noem’s comments.

Why the hell would you take all of these things with you to a restaurant!? I get the first three and the makeup bag but the rest?

Also she looked so much better before that awful plastic surgery...yikes.

I thought she was supposed to be smart, but here she is in downtown DC after dark. I guess there are no intelligent politicians.

Who carries that much cash?

Who carries that much cash?

Someone who wants to give someone a payout maybe, though women do tend to carry a lot of tangential stuff ‘just in case’.

 

[RJ MacReady]

The suspect being described as a "white male wearing a medical mask" makes me wonder if this was targeted. I would have expected your average DC purse snatcher to be some nog.

After investigation I feel confident that the location of the robbery was Capital Burger.

The black truffle burger for instance.


Cannot determine which burger this is, still appetizing.

The Capital Burger is connected to Capital Grille, a popular steakhouse favored by Republicans. The food looks quite delicious so it's understandable secret service would be distracted. Cannot say I'm a fan of their site not including pictures to go with their featured items such as the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts (utilizing bacon and a spicy soy glaze) or Hot Bavarian Pretzel (served with three cheese beer fondue).

Edit:
Capital Burger seems to be located about one mile northeast of the White House.

Unable to verify this account though:

A person familiar with the case told The Post the DHS secretary had just finished paying when she felt a brush against her leg — which she initially thought was one of her grandchildren before realizing her bag was missing.

She can't even keep her own purse safe yet we expect her to keep a whole country safe.

Who carries that much cash?

Someone who doesn't entirely trust banks? Although leaving it in an unattended handbag is premium, grade-A retarded.

The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem

Someone's getting a bad quarterly review.

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

Who carries that much cash?

Imagine being poor

Do you see how desperate former USAID employees have become?

 

[CarlosDangerr]

There is no way in hell I would willingly stay in DC for any amount of time.

I mean I have that much cash in my gun safe, but my handbag? Lolno.

How big the chances then that guy is an antifa member?

 

[SBG]

She may have had so much money on hand due to figuring she could hand some to relatives for shopping in the area. Though also shows how wealthy she is to be able to throw such money around.

 

[The best and greatest]

Do you think this is grounds to immediately fire her? I imagine a lot of damage could be done with the items stolen

When Biden ran things, the government security employees were the ones who were stealing women's bags.

I'm just glad for the people who are paying him that he's such a well-vetted, tight-lipped operative who won't possibly brag about this to his similarly mongoloid lib pals online!
