PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s election-year fight with fellow Republicans in the Legislature has spurred criticism she is neglecting her job to angle for the White House, but the resistance could actually be helping her national brand rather than tarnishing it.

The first-term governor in recent weeks jetted to Florida to speak at a major gathering of conservative activists, announced on Fox News the release of an autobiography and blasted President Joe Biden’s energy policy as Russia invaded Ukraine.

Back home, the politician trying to corner the label as the nation’s most conservative governor has faced considerable defiance from members of her own party. They have derailed key parts of her agenda on issues including abortion, school prayer, COVID-19 vaccine exemptions and how racism is taught in schools.

When Fake News Media praises a Republican you know that Republican is a Romneyite or a Bushite.

Noem needs to take some time off and determine who she is.

“You can always tell a push story when it’s written by more than one “reporter.””

But she’s hot-looking, isn’t that all that matters?

Yep. She’s not reliable enough as is. We need someone who
Can take the 24/7 onslaught and not waiver. I know two with this skill. DeSantis and Trump.

This story is more than a push, it is outright political propaganda disguised as a news piece.

This was not written by the two reporters, it was written by her opposition. Could have come from either side. That opposition does not look that strong.

Democratic (Both began campaigns in 2022)
Barry Hulse (has not filed a campaign finance report yet.)
State Representative Jamie Smith (has not filed a campaign finance report yet.)

Republican
State Representative Steve Haugaard 12/31/2021 Cash on hand: $16,982.84
Governor Kristi Lynn Noem 12/31/2021 Cash on hand: $6,636,800.39*

Independent
former state Representative Lora Hubbel 12/31/2021 Cash on hand: $55 (she is apparently a perennial candidate, but does not get much money.)

Former Governor Dennis Duggard 12/31/2021 Cash on hand: $313,865.57

I think Kristi has this one in the bag.

The article makes her out to be a far right radical.

She was too scared to take on the NCAA to keep transvestites out of women’s sports. She isn’t qualified to be president.

Yeah, that was really disappointing. That surprised me. Not enough principle and at the least, poor judgement.

It was a horrible law. She did the absolute correct thing and the legislature rewrote the law correctly and she signed it. Stop lying.

“I think Kristi has this one in the bag.”

For governor again maybe.

But they want her to be the next Republican for president to be vanquished. They don’t want her to be president, mind you, just the nominee.
