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 As of Monday, links to them on the governor's official website led to pages that said the accounts were no longer active.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

Pretty much my thought as well. Wouldn't be bad from a policy choice, but she really doesn't understand the nature of the media, as is clear from recent events, so she's not really the asset she'd otherwise be.
Its all about Cricket. Her Facebook page was getting pretty harsh. Kristi is toast. The only way it could get worse is if she comes out saying she keeps a few horses around for the freezer..
That seems right.
