The Spectator’s Amber Athey reports that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says she’s the victim of “conservative cancel culture” over her opposition to a bill making its way through the state legislature to “promote continued fairness in women’s sports”

Who’s advising her? Pence??
Perfectly put. We would have been behind her all the way.
And her excuse is miserable -- the NCAA needs to be sued seven ways to Sunday.
Let’s see the email.
Hi.
Methinks the ultimate cancel culture for politicians is not vote for them.
If your vote counts and is not cancelled by fraud.
5.56mm
That’s the letter. Has anyone seen this email, the one that claims she’s a victim?
Cuz I can’t find the actual email.
And I’d like to read it rather than take the AS or Twitchy’s word fer what’s in it.
Trust but verify. :-)
Her voting record in the U.S. House was weak and GOPe traditional boilerplate. I never considered her for president in any case.
If not Trump...DeSantis is my guy in 2024.
Note to Deep State: Maybe not so fond of RCV now...?
“Wrong. If we are to get our majority back we must have an opposition party. Here once again a GOP politician is supporting the progressive agenda.”
Agree, and all she is RIGHT NOW is a governor of a tiny state. All that conservatives want is for her to stay there, rather than cause a messy fight in 2024.
The damage to the party happens if she gets on a ticket for national office, where people on our side simply WILL NOT vote for people like her, even in November elections.
So stop her now, and no damage, all will be forgotten as she continues her still-impressive career as a state governor.
Wrong thread...
Ok, I’m done with her now.
She has proved herself to be a whining intellectual lightweight.
To claim that she is being canceled is stupid. Call us disappointed, even outraged. We thought you had more courage, Kristi.
There’s a clause in the bill that allows special snowflakes to sue whoever triggered them. Sending the bill back was the right thing to do.
“Yep. For someone who made her way as a “strong independent woman”, claiming victim hood is uninspiring and weak.”
Reminds me of when Skunk Cabbage blamed all her troubles on a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”. At least she was attacking the OPPOSITION party, rather than her own base.
Good point. Rubio lost the Presidency with his vapid explanation for joining the odious Gang of 8!
You resort to name calling and not an analysis of the issues. Here are the issues:
From her letter:
For example, Section 2 of House Bill 1217 requires a student athlete to verify, each year, that the student “is not taking and has not taken, during the preceding twelve months, any performance enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids.”
Presumably, this requirement was included to address a student taking these drugs as a part of a gender transition, but House Bill 1217 is not limited in this way. Rather, if a male student athlete failed to make the football team, and later learned that another student on the team was taking steroids without disclosing it, the student who didn’t make the team would be entitled to sue both the school and the steroid-using student for damages.
In addition, Section 2 creates an unworkable administrative burden on schools, who under its terms must collect verification forms from every student athlete, every year, as to age, biological sex, and use of performance-enhancing drugs; and furthermore must monitor these disclosures throughout the year so that if “reasonable cause” is found of a false or misleading form, the school can take action to avoid civil liability.
You can read her whole letter here.
Makes you wonder if her first name should really be Karen.
Glad she outed herself.
LOL, not sure I want to get my nose close enough to test the hypothesis...:)
I saw the heels up, and thought it said “The First Rule of Ho’s”
