DailyMail.com uncovered evidence of Lewandowski and Noem's fling: Dozens of trips that mixed business with pleasure, private flights and luxury resort stays

The pair met up Friday for a Trump campaign rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, but were careful to have no public interaction – despite being close for years

The two were first suspected of being romantically involved in 2021, but Noem scornfully dismissed the story as 'total garbage and a disgusting lie' at the time

A rising Republican star tipped by many to be Donald Trump's running mate should he win the presidential nomination has been involved in a clandestine affair for years, multiple sources tell DailyMail.com.

Married South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, 51 – who stresses her belief in 'family values' – and Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski, who is also married, began carrying on in 2019, if not before.

Now news of the relationship threatens to wreck Noem's chances of joining Trump's ticket in a potential rematch with President Joe Biden.

Neither denied the affair when asked by DailyMail.com. The Governor issued a statement attacking us for the timing of the article, while Lewandowski did not respond to a request for comment.

‘He may not be very smart, but it takes big balls to lobby to have your mistress named one of the most powerful people in the country,' one GOP operative told DailyMail.com.

The far-right website American Greatness claimed in 2021 the two had been romantically involved, although it gave no details.

If true, it's morally wrong, but it would prove Corey has more hair on his chest than anyone suspected.

Kristi does have a Barbi Benton thing going on.

But is it really true?

[Responsibility2nd]

I’ve never heard this. Thanks for posting.

It makes sense though. From all indications, Noem is a solid conservative.

[Jane Long]

Telling

Thx.

But is it really true?

Here's why the answer is yes, outside of any the specifics in the article.

If any publication makes this high profile of an accusation, with this number of details, they are looking at a catastrophic lawsuit if false. Gawker anyone?

This story wasn't published without Corey and Kristi's knowledge. As is common practice, they were given advance notice the story was coming and given a chance to respond, which they did not make use of.

There is no universe in which a categorically false but highly damaging story was given no response - if mitigating factors were present. Rope a dope is an Internet jingle.

And then yeah, there's all the specifics in the story.

Nikki Haley was screwing around on her husband. MTG was also and just divorced him when she got into the DC swingers club. Saw yesterday that Lisa page from the FBI divorced her husband and she was busy hooking up with Peter stroke.

And all these jackasses have the nerve to lecture the American people on morality

Well said...Thanks.

Magoo was screwing Jill when both were married to others. Heels Harris was doing Willie’s willy and look where she is.

Hypocrites one and all.

This will be condemned by the same liberal press that backs the sexual mutilation and sterilization of children.

[GOPJ]

Democrats allow their candidates to sell ‘pee sessions’ on the internet for ‘tips’... and they push the sexual mutilation and sterilization of children.

They want us to care about this?

I don’t give a damn what democrat monsters care about our people. President Sniffer’s son is whore monger and that’s nothing compared to thier worse monsters.. the dems who want to rape 5 year olds with their ‘minor attracted’.... That’s the kind of real evil and crap we’re competing with.

[Rastus]

Is that that Little Green Footballs POS? He’s followed the same basic trajectory as Brock.

[NWFree]

It doesn’t look good

[aquila48]

“i do not care if they are having affairs, unless they are on the record bible bangers”

Or brag about their “family values”... like most Republicans do?

[ronniesgal]

Re: family values- they usually go hand in hand.
I’d rather you be upfront than try to bs

[mass55th]

They really don’t want Trump picking her as his running mate, do they? This is the same type of crap they ran when Palin was picked by McCain.

[ronniesgal]

Liberal press were all pro Bill Clinton too.

[married21]

Pence seems like a wise man in this regard. No personal drama. Period. You would think more people would try the “no being alone with a woman not his wife” approach.

[StAnDeliver]

Man oh man, someone wanted her off the VP list worst than I did lofl.

The rumors were true.

[aquila48]

So espousing “family values” is the same as being Bible bangers? That makes every republican/conservative (which probably includes you) a Bible banger or a total hypocrite.

“I’d rather you be upfront than try to bs”

OK - here’s a test - have you had any affairs?

[Monterrosa-24]

Yes, but in the case of Pence, I would rather have the most despicable Don Juan or Casanova than the limp-wristed former VP who made no waves, statements, stalls, or calls for an investigation in the face of the most flagrant voter fraud in American history.

[GOPJ]

The press holds us to a standard of perfection. And dmeocrats’ The worst perverts in the world - child rapists - they don’t even condemn.

To hell with them. See if they can find ONE sexual weirdo with less than 50 ‘partners’...
