Longstanding official social media accounts belonging to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem appear to have been deleted without explanation.
The accounts on Facebook, Instagram and X, the site formerly known as Twitter, had reached hundreds of thousands of followers. As of Monday, links to them on the governor's official website led to pages that said the accounts were no longer active.
A fourth link from the governor's website to her official YouTube page remained active, as did Noem's personal accounts on Facebook, Instagram and X.
A new X account for the governor's office was created this month and had just over 300 followers as of Monday morning, far fewer than the roughly half-million of her old account.
Noem spokesperson Ian Fury pointed The Associated Press to that account as the source for official updates from the governor's office but declined to answer questions about her old accounts, including whether they were deleted by Noem or her office.

But she’s borderline “hot”. And a biological woman. That checks boxes in two (or more) political dimensions.
[You do realize that I’m just talking out of the box, right?]
>> Even worse, she has a furry as a spokesman. Not good.
Oh, you’re talking out of the box, too! That’s good.
LOL - I get the babe part, and while we say a lot about Biden’s condition, Trump, himself, is not exactly a spring chicken either - so hopefully Trump is considering that possibility.
She’s treating them like dogs.
My honest thoughts...the dog thing has faded. She wouldn’t be a terrible pick. I know the Tancredo boys here will be upset but let’s see what happens.
She used to be pretty attractive, but she seems now to have had too much questionable work done—and is looking like Kimberly Guilfoyle.
If she were getting the VP position, would they delete official accounts instead of personal accounts?
Yes, it definitely would. DONT PICK THAT MORON!!π
Wtf is wrong with yall? Are you ever going to accept anything other than boring, white men. Ffs change the record. There’s a white man top of ticket. Tulsi Gabbard, Ramaswamy, Ben Carson! π
Please Lord, don’t let him do this! The biggest thing I prayed for for Trump after 2024, is that he would learn to be nimble, not Tweeting daily, not always making himself the topic & to remember to let Democrats destroy one another & lay low when the they are infighting & damaging each other. He has done all of those thing up to now! He’s ahead by 10 points. Don’t change the story! Do not make a bad vp choice & don’t announce until the convention. Do not pick boring white guy, establishment tools, easy to ridicule wing nuts & Governors from South Dakota who write a book about shooting their dogs. Pick Gabbard or Ramaswamy or Ben Carson, something that would pull in middle of the road swing voters. Balance the ticket & be smart. Pick Tulsi Gabbard!! π

B.s. argument. Of course they will attack everyone. You want to go into a VP appointment with candidates starting out without high negatives. She has them. If you seriously are going to be that dumb, people should never listen to your thoughts on campaign strategy. You go ahead & say ‘hey whatever Trump wants’ & believe me 1 week into her appointment you will be majorly regretting it. Ya they are going to attack any candidate, but some candidates come in already beaten up. In those cases, they always drag the ticket down. Trump has high negatives-he needs the balance of an easy to like person, that people don’t have strong negative opinions about. Obviously they need to be conservative & need to be talented. I wish some of yall bozos were capable of seeing that you’re just agreeing to stupid things because you get off off on being stubborn & contrarian & you have terrible political sense. I’m here to tell you- there are a lot of staunchly conservative men & women, that would likely be turned off by her specifically because of the dog thing. It would be monumentally stupid π
You sound like a bigoted racist with a deep hatred for white males...kinda like a leftist.
I believe she wrote it. I saw the caption & red a few pages on shooting the dog. I went into knowing she was on a farm & I understand putting an animal down, etc.. The problem wasn’t that she did it, it was how she wrote about it. She was really flippant & indifferent & she came off like a horses ass about it. Most people didn’t grow up on farms, so they don’t completely understand that sometimes that has to happen. It’s just that most of the farmers I know who have to do those kind of things do not talk about it as flippantly & nasty the way she did. It pains most farmers having to put down their animals. They care about them, they respect them & feel for them. They don’t take it lightly. They do it because it’s a realistic part of life, but they don’t celebrate it with giddy words. So for any of us who love our dogs & cats & think of them as part of the family- the way she talked about the issue- I find her attitude bothersome. I’m staunchly right wing- but I love animals (honestly more than peopleπ€£). To me they are a gift from God. Since I know putting animals down is a part of life, one of the things I want to know is that when it’s done, it’s treated solemnly after π
Go ahead and take the job. Your FR handle qualifies you as “not boring”!
You can reach out to us on FR for advice every day.
Her political career is over. Most idiotic self inflicted wound I’ve seen since Gary Hart set sail on the Monkey Business.
From what I recall, yes.
I’ll be in South Dakota in about 3 weeks for Sturgis..3rd time. I’ll look her up and see how she’s doing.
Much to do about nothing
AP and ABC are no longer relevant messengers
That’s weird. Hope the reason for it aren’t the letters “V” and “P”. She’s got too much baggage. We thought the attacks on Palin were bad...
