It’s not cancel culture when your constituents don’t like what you did.
And btw cancel culture really is a nice name for fascism.
She sure isn't. "conservative cancel culture"...uh...no.
More like a victim of her own weakness.
As we saw with Mike Pence, it doesn’t get better.
Lovely. Noem doubling down on her insult of conservatives on Tucker. I had high hopes for her. It’s now apparent she is a standard issue GOP politician who just had her Nikki Haley Confederate flag moment. Next.
Nobody is canceling Gov. Susan Collins.
Sign the damn bill and worry about the legal arguments and leftist groups later. She is using the NCAA as a strawman, even though the businesses in her state will get MORE support and the NCAA would have caved.
Phyllis Schlafly is rolling in her grave.
I’M A VICTIM!.... I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!....I’M A VICTIM!............................
My thoughts exactly.
There is some thought by people that she is playing 4-D chess with this, but...I am tired of 4-D Chess.
A dog turd stinks. Polishing it doesn’t take away the stink.
Gov Noem is absolutely correct. Tucker, Bongino, The Fderalist, etc. all had knee-jerk reactions to MSM coverage of her letter. They never read her letter on air and discussed it. They just called what she wrote and said “caving to the NCCA”, etc. That is Cancel Culture.
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.
Unfortunately, I think EVERYONE needs to try to distinguish their critical comments as just that - legitimate criticism - without always trying to imply the person being criticized “must go” in some way. I may be wrong, but if I am not, Noem may be right to some extent.
She is maybe right in suggesting that the cancel culture is becoming “bipartisan”.
What I am saying is different than election campaign time when someone says they are voting against so-and-so because of their position on X.
If we are ever to get our majority back we need to stop eating our own. The Guv seemingly went from the next President to cancelled overnight. She is the same person with the same philosophy and record. The Left stays disciplined and single minded in the acquisition of power.
Oh please, Kristi, don’t compound your miscalculation by claiming VICTIM STATUS.
My thoughts, too. Nothing worse then complaining your base is picking on you.
This victim shit is not going to play very well with the base. She really may wind up topping Ted Cruz after all!
She can still get out of it and sign HB 1217 no matter what it says.
Ms. Governor should refrain from casting herself as any kind of victim. She’d be better off identifying herself as a fighter.
MAN UP, GIRL !
No no no....
She blinked and showed weakness at the hands of the leftist mobs and leftist lawyers....
She promised to stand up and during thre 11th hour she backed the hell down...
She should have signed the damned bill then pressured the state houses to send up a better bill for her to sign to supersede it.
She showed weakness and that is LAST thing you do when standing up to the LEFT!
It aint cancel culture unless big corporations, journalists, celebrities, and ordinary people are making a coordinated effort to call someone a bigoted hater, and completely destroy them financially, so that they could never work again, anywhere.
Screw her for comparing legitimate criticism to the above. She thinks we’re weak and stupid, just like the suits at FoxNews, who thought we’d keep watching them.
MTG and Lauren Boebert come off as warm and genuine. Kristi was always robotic, which is why I was never sold on her.
