Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is one of a few state governors who have not yet placed citizens under a stay-at-home order in response to the current outbreak. Not only has she not placed the order, she has been outspoken in her contention that doing so would stand against everything America is supposed to stand for. She sees her decision as empowering individuals to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families.
She is also taking an aggressive position on the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating the virus, placing her ahead of many other state governors.
As a result, on Monday, Governor Noem received about the highest praise any good American could when she was attacked in the pages of the Washington Post. The Post used the occasion of an outbreak of the virus at South Dakotas Smithfield Foods, a pork producer located in Sioux Falls, as an opportunity to attack the governors non-conformance. More than 300 workers at the facility have now tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus.

Can we clone her?
She should have run for Thune’s Senate seat and let him be the Governor.
SD is about to become crowded
I’ve got 3 kings.
wait, that makes no sense.
sorry, coronavirus hysteria setting in
from my country being shut down and the economy wrecked by a hateful left.
I recently read the magnificent novel, Peace Like A River.
Which in turn has led me to an obsession with ND and SD history. Great stuff!
I assume she will be one of the governors who Trump can trust to handle her State...gonna be a number of governors who are shown to be the incompetent boobs (my apology to boobs) who will need to brushed aside so their States have a chance.
Yes! She’s Hot! and she defends the Constitution!
Party at Sturgis!
Northern Virginia voters should be kept in their Ralph Northam imposed home jails until 2053.
BTW there is speculation bacon prices are about to plummet.
Smithfield has tons of the stuff and no buyers.
That’s for sure.
Sometimes it sucks to be free. But the alternative is far worse. Is the destruction of our liberties worth the extremely small, if any, safety being provided by the suspension of our liberties?
Is safety ever worth sacrificing liberty?
Sadly many Freepers are saying Yes.
Smithfields Foods....owned by none other than the ChiComs.
It time to open the economy with no testing and no masks..all this is doing is dragging it out forever
She isn't going along with the lock down chit either.
Must be that mid-western spin. Both of them are better men than most of the prissies in the state houses across the country.
“Can we clone her?”
They cloned her from Sarah Palin.
My Governor, AZ’s Doug Ducey, is great. He put out the orders but then whispers in the ear of local governments that we know what’s best for our residents.
We are very proud to have Kristi as our governor. I knew when I read the headline of whom they were speaking.
