“Yes, Kristi Noem did ask her social media followers to help choose a portrait of her while devastating floods were impacting Texas
. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted three portraits of herself on horseback on her Instagram account and asked her followers to choose which one they liked best for her official portrait to hang in the South Dakota State Capitol, according to The Economic Times.
This action drew criticism, particularly because it occurred during the Texas floods, and a new DHS policy requiring Noem's personal sign-off on contracts and grants over $100,000 reportedly delayed FEMA's response and hindered search and rescue efforts, according to The Daily Beast. Critics viewed the timing of the post as insensitive and prioritizing personal image over the urgent needs of the disaster victims. “
