Newsmax host Eric Bolling asked South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem whether her book editor could have been “a liberal plant” intent on making her look bad after Noem received backlash over several passages from her new memoir. Reacting to the controversies surrounding Noem’s book – including an extract which detailed the governor’s decision to kill her 14-month-old dog Cricket after it proved “less than worthless” as a hunting animal – Bolling said: I’ve also written a couple of books and I know how the process works. You write some chapters,...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem refused to say whether she actually met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during a tense interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday. After Watters grilled Noem about the backlash she received for dragging her 14-month-old dog to a gravel pit and shooting it in the head, he added, “They’re also attacking you– I guess you said you met Kim Jong-un? Did you meet him?” “I’ve been to the [demilitarized zone]. I’ve been to North Korea,” replied Noem. “I don’t talk about my conversations...

In the past few months, Noem has come under fire for drawing a connection between tribal leaders and drug cartels on reservations and accusing Native American parents of neglecting their children. “We’ve got some tribal leaders that I believe are personally benefiting from the cartels being there and that’s why they attack me every day,” she said at...

A third Native American tribe has banned South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem from visiting its reservation following Noem's accusations that Mexican drug cartels are facilitating crime on Indigenous land in her state. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe announced in a news release on Wednesday that its council voted to banish Noem.

Fresh off a teeth-based scandal in which she appeared to do an infomercial for an out-of-state dentist office, Kristi Noem has been banned from setting foot in approximately 10% of the state she oversees as governor of South Dakota. And not in, like, a casual “please stay away, lady” sense but in a “could be thrown out for trespassing” manner. The Daily Beast reports that Noem, who is on a short list of possible Donald Trump running mates, has been officially legally barred from visiting three separate reservations that comprise...
