Gov. Kristi Noem Reacts to Media's Obsession With Her Refusing to Lock Down Her State
townhall.com ^ | 10/23/2020 | Cortney O'Brien

Chris Hayes said South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is "making bad decisions," CNN's Don Lemon reminded his viewers about that supposed "super spreader" motorcycle rally in Sturgis, Rachel Maddow fumed that the governor "refused to order any statewide COVID restrictions." And we could go on. Gov. Noem has plenty of cable news critics.

It's true. In terms of COVID restrictions, Gov. Noem has been pretty laissez faire. Instead, she thought it might be wise to let citizens live their lives and keep their jobs. And so South Dakota has an unemployment rate that is the second lowest in the country at 4.1 percent. But the media has painted Noem as an enemy because she refuses to shut down the state and keep everyone indoors during the coronavirus pandemic.

Gov. Noem told Fox News host Laura Ingraham this week that she's received no apologies from those pundits, but she doesn't care because her people "are happy."

In 8-12 years she’ll be a potus candidate.
She'll have to survive being "Palin-ized" first.

It pains me to say this but in this decade of this Millenia Pence’s very traditional Christian lifestyle would make him unacceptable to a lot of voters. Not all of them Democrats either.

The country has moved far to the left on social issues over the last twenty years.

Once we have ACB on the court and Kristi Noem as POTUS in a few years, we will have the hottest government in history :D

[DeSantis is at or very close to the top of my list. He is killing it as governor of Florida.]

Only reason that I would NOT want him in 2024 is bc I hope to move to FL in the next 2 years and want him in for a 2nd term.

She makes everyone else look bad.

On looks alone. Her leadership is frosting on the cake.

Very proud to be a South Dakotan here! Gov. Noem is so far ahead of her critics, including the local media which hate her.
As of today, there is under 1000 people in SD with covid. What people don’t hear is that just over 400 of those cases are in 2 of the prisons in the state. So those people are automatically isolated.
