South Dakota Gov. Noem's official social media accounts seem to disappear without explanation
ABC AP ^ | 07 08 2024 | Staff

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 As of Monday, links to them on the governor's official website led to pages that said the accounts were no longer active.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.

www.trumpnoem.com loads an empty page. Not sure what to make of that.

Agreed. Noem would be an unforced error. The media hates good-looking conservative women and will utterly crucify her over the dog thing. This is not time for a “Hail Mary” pass... Trump is winning. He doesn’t need to add sex appeal or excitement to the ticket. Just pick a boring white male and be done with it.

So incredibly stupid given her history of tall tales. Way to give the media something to talk about other than Joe. .

Silky comment. The media would start attacking Romney if Trump picked him. There is no one they won’t savage.

“Noem is not a rotten person”
I don’t think she is either. She’s done a good job as governor and I think she’s gotten a bad wrap because she had to shoot her dog. It’s a difficult situation to have to shoot an animal, but the dog had issues and is better off with God then being shuffled from home to home. Also, it’s quick and a better way to euthanize when the animal is very ill or been run over. Better than hauling them to the vet, making them wait in a environment they are not used to and having to have a needle shoved in it’s vein.

All true, but the way she wrote about it was completely tone deaf and frankly an unforced error. Instead of garnering empathy, she ticked people off by seemingly enjoying getting rid of the biter.

“I could be happy with her.”

Forever? Or just one night?

I never read the book.
Did she actually write it or was someone doing the writing?

Her name is on it so I assume she at least read what was written in her book, even if she didn’t read it.

She’s been odd lately. Too much plastic surgery, the infidelity rumors, the weird book … her life seems chaotic now and that’s without the national press all over her as they would be if she’s VP.

I recall driving from Omaha, NE to Sioux Falls in 1970. The lady I was with had a well to do father there. I do not recall any Midwest dog killers.

The whole ridiculous dog thing was because someone knew she had the inside track for VP.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm couldn’t get past legacy media unscathed.

I don’t know that Noem will be the choice, but I wouldn’t have a problem it.

"I don’t know that Noem will be the choice, but I wouldn’t have a problem it."

Because of the dog, she's starting out with high negatives. It'll be impossible for her to win people over.

She's another Sarah Palin. She won't help Trump.

>> So she’s either going to be named VP on the Republicans ticket, or shoot up a school.

I LOL’d at that! I don’t know why. Do I need help? ROFL

She also defends boys taking over girls’ sports.

“This would be disastrous.”

“Noem spokesperson Ian Fury”

Even worse, she has a furry as a spokesman. Not good.
