Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is facing intense backlash after CNN reported that she slowed federal resources to the devastating Texas floods.

The internet erupted on Wednesday after a bombshell report by CNN revealed that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem waited three days before approving disaster aid for Texas after the deadly Kerr County flood.

However, according to the officials, Noem did not authorize FEMA's deployment of the Urban Search and Rescue crews specifically trained to handle catastrophic floods and similar disasters until Monday, nearly 72 hours after disaster struck, CNN reported.
