New DHS leadership had grown weary of the embarrassment surrounding Phillips’ public image and of his periodic clashes with the department’s other leaders.
First half is bullshit, second half is the real reason lol

He was still liked better than the dog killer.

....get paid to teleport
To waffle house
Well the people who can teleport are something else ya know. Creme de la creme
No, you are wrong!
People who can teleport are somewhere else!
Oh who hasn't teleported to a waffle house on a bender...
he was willing to resist moves that would potentially hobble the agency’s work.
It must be late cuz I can't put together what this means. He was fired because he didnt hobble the agencys work? Or did hobble the agency?
No you're right, it's very vague but i think that last paragraph is why they hired him in the first place. The reason he was fired is: "his periodic clashes with the department’s other leaders."
I think what they're saying is that Noem was all in for destroying FEMA and this guy resisted that. He might have been too drunk to care, hard to say.
No, you just can't absorb what's happening because it's so fucked. He was fired because he didn't destroy the agency. Trump and co want to destroy it.
That sadly makes sense. Thank you.
