Kristi Noem running for Governor of South Dakota focusing on Policy


Amid uproar from the intelligence community over President Trump's decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, Republican Rep. Kristi Noem of South Dakota is standing by the president, arguing that there were clear "national security concerns" to warrant Brennan losing his clearance.

"You know, obviously in this instance there was national security concerns. It appears that at times Brennan has put political purposes above national security. And I think what's astounding to me is realizing that there's over 5 million people in this country that have security clearances so there's a lot of folks out there with important information," Noem said on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

Giving up a security clearance has nothing whatsoever do with giving up your freedom of speech as Democrats are suggesting.
