Kristi Noem fires back at pro-family leader who criticized her after university allowed ‘kid-friendly’ drag show
Life Site News ^ | 12/23/2022 | Jean Mondoro

A pro-family leader in South Dakota challenged Republican Gov. Kristi Noem’s response last week to a “kid-friendly” drag show that took place on a state college campus in November. On Wednesday, Noem rejected the suggestion that her administration wasn’t protecting children and hinted that her critic should be fired.

A drag show advertised as “kid-friendly” and invited “the whole family for an evening of entertainment” took place at South Dakota State University (SDSU), according to a November 16 news report. The event, sponsored by a college student organization called the Gender and Sexualities Alliance, drew criticism for “encouraging crowd members to bring $1 and $5 [bills] to tip performers.”

Norman Woods, director of the Family Heritage Alliance Action, wrote an open letter to Noem on December 19, criticizing her administration for the lack of action to protect children from drag shows such as the one hosted by SDSU.

“I’d encourage the Family Heritage Alliance to evaluate the purpose of your organization. Is it to promote family values — or is it to attack the most conservative governor in the country?” Noem wrote in a December 21 response addressed to the organization’s board members. “I believe it is the former and urge you to focus your efforts on bringing our shared pro-family message to the people of South Dakota. I suggest you find an executive director who agrees...”

“ She also has the bully pulpit which she didn’t use.l

Yep. Huge missed opportunity there for sure. I don’t know if she’s a phony or not. But whoever is advising her needs to be fired. Why she’d attack an organization that’s ostensibly on her side is beyond me. It’s just stupid.

She isn't alpha enough. Rare for a female leader to actually pull it off. (Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, notable exceptions)

LOL, of course she’s a hottie on the exterior — but failure on one too many critical decisions kinda make her an empty vessel.

Tucker exposed her on his show once when she took the cowardly position on men in female sports. Is she all bad? NO. But she is not good enough.

Is Kari a lesbian? Serious question. The haircut looks good on her, but it is part of the “uniform” of many of them.

“I’d encourage the Family Heritage Alliance to evaluate the purpose of your organization. Is it to promote family values — or is it to attack the most conservative governor in the country?” Noem wrote [...]

"False Dilemma" Fallacy!

The Family Heritage Alliance can pursue multiple goals simultaneously! Promoting family values does not exclude simultaneously excoriating Noem for her foolishness! In fact...

But does she have the actual power to stop it?

If she doesn't have the power to stop it, then she could have at least criticized it!

Instead, she criticizes a conservative organization!

That is a weasel, thin-skinned response if I ever heard one. She did wrong and is turning it around and making it personal. She’s made some good choices, and some really bad ones.

Not positive, but I believe it’s a state school, and as Governor of the state...

It seems someone in her administration with oversight of these institutions should’ve jumped ugly on the school immediately.

That's an interesting point.

The perverts on the radical left are extremely clever at exploiting the naivete of society in general, including people on the right, center, and center-left.

In fact, some other factions on the radical left may not realize that their cause is being damaged by the perverts in their midst.

Take plain vanilla Marxists for example. There are plenty of college professors and other intellectuals who are otherwise normal people (i.e., not perverts). They don't realize just how their cause--Marxism--is being damaged by the drag queens who are grooming children. Or by people like Sam Brinton who has flaunted his "gay/trans privilege" to steal very expensive luggage at airport baggage carousels.

This is not dissimilar to how blacks, in general, are damaged by BLM movement, "defund the police," and "hate whitey/white privilege" movements.

I’d like the names of the people who think drag shows for kids is a good idea. I can’t imagine anyone would think that.

She did mention her children in a speech.

I don’t give a rat’s patootie about her sexual orientation.

She’s Deep State.
