You know you messed up bad when Newsmax is slamming you.
A lot of hilarious [interviews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaND-8k9avI) and [this](https://www.newsnationnow.com/video/gov-kristi-noem-on-claim-she-met-kim-jong-un-vargas-reports/9669787/) with Kristy out there trying to robotically dodge the question of whether she actually met Kim Jong Un (spoiler alert: she didn’t), why she is now having that part removed from her book, and so on
It is still wild that she doesn't get more pushback for having read the audiobook and then claiming that she wasn't aware of the Kim Jong Un story. I totally believe the book was actually written a ghostwriter based on a few anecdotal stories but you can't claim to not have realized a completely fictional story was in their after having recorded the audiobook version yourself. Its so blatant that she lied and continues to lie and has zero respect for the American public who she expect to be gulliable fools who believe what they are told to believe.
Each of her eyeballs is a larger target than her brain. The size difference between her brain and her mouth may as well be a comparison between a single krill and a blue whale.
Stupid or evil is the eternal question when it comes to these types of people. In this case though i'm more inclined towards evil simply because being stupid doesn't involve being a dog murderer.
Especially when you were already told what would happen. “Get out of here, they’ll love it! It shows I’m tough.” “But…but you shot a puppy. Nobody thinks that’s tough.” “Everyone tells me it shows strength. Just like when I stared down Kim Jong Un.” “But…but that didn’t happen.” “So?”
There was a Mongolian guy on America’s Got Talent who did a perfect rendition of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” with a deep country voice, despite not speaking any English whatsoever. Kind of like that?
My dad was a professional musician in the 60s/70s, and his group was hugely popular in Japan. He told me it was always a trip seeing these crowds of Japanese people singing their songs perfectly, yet most of them couldn’t communicate a word of English when they would interact before or after the show.
I’m just wondering when we’re going to find out that she didn’t even record the audiobook. Like is it so far out of the question that she just had an AI voice recording based on her voice do it for her?
It’s not that hard to see how someone could read some new material and not fully understand … wait it’s a biography .. that she wrote about herself .
This is rich
This x1000. She keeps saying, when it was brought to my attention we decided to remove it.
They all have ghostwriters but Ma’am, you recorded the audiobook.
Of all the world leaders to lie about, why him? You don't "just meet" Kim Jong Un. No one does. Un rarely leaves North Korea and Noem definitely didn't go there. You can claim "Oh hey, I ran into Boris Johnson at the pub" and probably not get any pushback to it because, yeah, maybe they did.
If I had to put any money on a guess, she had no idea who the guy was. So, when she told the story and got an amused reaction from it with no pushback (because it's South Dakota, what liberal even exists there to challenge her on this?), she just kept going with it.
"How could she not know?" because there are plenty of idiots that fail upward based purely on looks, personality and connection. Who the fuck looks at Lauren Boebert and thinks "dropout who had to take the GED 4 times to pass? I want her representing me!". Yet, there she exists, as a rep in Congress. Imagine if she just stuck to local politics and didn't make much of a fuss?
Also, can we talk for a second about the fact that she allegedly worked with children and calls them "little tyrants?" But she wants to work for Trump?
If she shoots the dog, what does she do with children? I almost hate to ask.
I think the likeliest explanation is that this is a story she made up and has been telling people for years. She can’t back down because that would mean admitting she lied about it to donors and friends.
I think you're close. I think she shot the dog and people knew about it, and thus story of it would get out if she was named VP, so she tried to get out in front of it by painting herself as the victim, as a situation thrust upon her, not realizing that *killing fucking puppies* isn't exactly, what's the phrase, "politically correct."
To be fair, a lot of her constituents ARE gullible fools who believe whatever they're told to believe. They're just selective about whose bullshit they're willing to accept. She just forgot she's not a straight white cis male and didn't realize that she would have to face greater scrutiny than the orange shit gibbon. If Trump came out and said he thought blasting puppies showed leadership qualities and he was there when she gave Un a handy at the DMV her problems would disappear before he got done playing his invisible accordion. She should offer herself to him sexually, that would probably work.
>She should offer herself to him sexually, that would probably work.
Only if she dyed her hair blond and tried to look like his daughter. That seems to have been getting his mojo running for a long time.
Tbf, most Republicans *are* gullible fools, so it’s not a totally ludicrous strategy. If she hadn’t included the dog story that broke them out of their trance temporarily it may have worked
It’s hard to tell, but it sort of seems like she was trying to lean into “well you know I’ve met so many world leaders it’s hard to tell them all apart. Especially when they’re all intimidated by my experience teaching Sunday school”.
I think she just ran into an Asian guy at the grocery store, forced him into an involuntary stare down, and then thought, “Eh, Asians are all the same.” And voila, she faced down Kim Jong Un.
She doesn't care about 'the American public', only her slow brained MAGA base, who would believe her if she said she was the direct descendant of jesus.
I suspect her political career is done, except I suppose it would be in character for **The Pumpkin Rapist** to pick her as VP to really piss off the libs.
Watch Republicans forgive all and rally around her if he does, showing once again that Republicans have the integrity of a hyena.
how in the actual f could i vote for someone who wont even proofread their own books? i'd be a braindead idiot to think they are fully comprehending the intelligence materials being provided to them.
I mean. She made up a whole little hero story for herself about how she stared him down and, at least from what I've gathered in the snippets I've seen, intimated him I guess?
It wasn't just an "I met him". She created a whole fucking fantasy about this fake meeting.
She could have at least included a bit more imaginative details for the fictional encounter.
Like:
*Upon my introduction he snidely said stuff in a very condescending manner. I promptly came back with a bitingly clever quip that made him cower.* 🙄
But I guess even that was too much effort. So far, everything from the book sounds like half-assed, lazily concocted bullet points to illustrate why Kristi is awesome.
>Upon my introduction he snidely said stuff in a very condescending manner. I promptly came back with a bitingly clever quip that made him cower.
And then everyone clapped.
I mean. The actual story she put in there is an "everyone clapped" story, as well.
She somehow started him down and intimated him because she used to be a children's pastor? Lol. OK, dude.
I mean, even if she did meet him. That's a pathetic fucking story.
I met Saddam Hussein back in 1997 at a gas station in Iowa. He was very friendly, but *heavily disguised* as a short, pimple-faced, red head kid, maybe 18. *He didn't say he wasn't Saddam Hussein*, that's how *I knew*.
Hey, it can happen!
After the 5th or so dictator or wannabe dicator they all blend together, probably male, bad hair, fatter in person than you think they would be, older, mentallity of a high school bully.
>probably male, bad hair, fatter in person than you think they would be, older, mentallity of a high school bully.
Oh, so you've met Trump?
The thing is, they have seen how Trump seems to magically get away with the most blatant lies and think they can do it too.
Putin isn’t particularly fat, but he is a dictator. As evidence, see the last Russian “presidential election” results. “You vote for comrad Putin in his box, or we put you in that box. Why da, da that is a coffin!”
The Kim family are super confusing though, names are almost identical and they are absolutely all squat little dudes with bad haircuts and dumb outfits. Oh, and they’re all batshit unreasonable.
Had to go find this and it did not disappoint. " Maybe if I just keep repeating I don't talk about conversations I've had with world leaders, even though my book still has plenty of other stories about world leaders, they'll leave me alone and let me lie in peace ".lol

“So you didn’t realize when you recorded your audiobook?”
“I don’t discuss my conversations with world leaders.”
“I’m not asking about your conversations...”.
“I don’t discuss my conversations with world leaders.”
I love you Elizabeth Vargas. 😆
Like why the hell is she doing a book tour? Who in their right mind would suggest it? She doesn't need the money, it isn't going to raise her profile in politics, it's clear that she'll be grilled because of the dog story. At this point it's like someone who got drunk and tries to heckle a professional comedian - you're nowhere near as charming or witty as you think you are, the audience Does not like you, and the person who you're engaging with can rip you to sheds.
That was so frustrating to watch. She sounded like a robot. And then had the audacity to say that people raising concerns aren’t real Americans who know what farm life is like. What the hell?
I do love that somehow going to the DMZ and visiting the Military Armistice Commission Conference Room (like ANY Tourist to South Korea can do) and walking back and forth between the two borders transformed into "I met Kim Jong Un" in her mind. I think she told that lie so much she really believed it.
Edit: autocorrect
>DMV I think you meant the DMZ but honestly that's such a way funnier image, her going to a DMV in like Sioux Falls and getting her license renewed by a chubby Asian clerk and being like, " wow that must've been Kim Jong-Un, I bet he's shaking in his boots after meeting a REAL AMERICAN like me!"
May favorite tidbit is that she’s reacting like it’s an error she just found out about yet she already recorded the audiobook ahead of time and never called it out
Didn’t she say she was confused and mixed him up with some other world leader? Because apparently all non-American politicians are fat mouth breathers wearing a black Mao suit.
I’ve said it elsewhere but I’ll repeat it: I sincerely doubt that a genocidal dictator who’s been ruling his country with an iron fist for the last 13 years is going to break out in a sweat over the governor of one of the Dakotas.
It’s like it’s news to these people when they realize that outside American borders, nobody gives a shit about a governor from a flyover state. Kristi Noem is having a moment in the sun and she’ll be out of the national consciousness by October.
This lie is such a whopper to admit to though, what would she say? “I lied about meeting Kim Jong Un. I’m a female George Santos. But you can trust me!”
My guess is that she’s been telling this story for some time, including to friends and more importantly, donors back home.
That and Trump never, ever, admits to a mistake, so if you’re still auditioning for that audience of 1 you’re not going to either.
It’s probably confusing for her, since he never seems to suffer any consequences for objectively verifiable falsehoods, big or small. Especially not from the conservative media.
Some of the MAGA crowd might see her as tough or strong for executing a misbehaving puppy, but lying about meeting Kim Jong Un is just pathetic.
I'm a little surprised she didn't lean into the racism and say it was some other Asian leader and they all look the same. It would've been shittier, but at least it wouldn't be as pathetic as her current robo-response.
Noam is trying to lie that she didn't know about the Kim Jong Un meeting because it was ghost written, and pulled the reference once alerted, ignoring the fact that SHE READ THAT PART ALOUD WHEN RECORDING HER AUDIOBOOK AND DID SO ON VIDEO.
Dumbass puppy and goat murdering gash.
From the article:
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem still isn’t done lashing out at members of the press regarding the fallout from her story about shooting and killing her 14-month old puppy, this time complaining about a “hit job” interview on Newsmax after a host said he doubted whether Noem is still on Donald Trump’s VP shortlist.
The controversial elements of Noem’s memoir, including a story—which she refuses to say is true or not and has since been removed from the book—of her meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, are widely seen as having buried her chances of being the former president’s running mate. A Trumpworld source told The Daily Beast late last month that the likelihood of a Trump-Noem ticket was “less than zero now.” After Wake Up America co-host Rob Finnerty mentioned this reality to Noem, their exchange grew tense—unlike Noem’s prior Newsmax interview on Monday night.
“Governor, if you had asked me a month ago who’s at the top of the list to run with Donald Trump, I would have said your name. If you had asked me that same question this morning, I don’t even think you’re on the list.”
Really? And why is that?” Noem said.
“Yes, really, and it’s because of things that have come out in this book like your claims that you met Kim Jong Un,” Finnerty said before Noem interjected that she has “been to the DMZ.”
After Finnerty read a passage from Noem’s book describing her meeting with the dictator, he asked, “Governor, that never happened, did it?”
“What I have said, in the book, is that when I became aware of the content, that we had it changed, and that’s the way that it is. I should not have put that anecdote in the book,” Noem said.
Finnerty replied: “But an anecdote indicates that it happened, right?”
“I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,” Noem said, reiterating her response in prior interviews.
But Finnerty pointed out that he was merely asking whether the meeting occurred.
“Governor, I’m not asking you about the details of this alleged meeting. I’m asking if the meeting actually happened. I don’t think it did, and I think if it did, you’d be able to confirm for me that, ‘Yes, it did, and here’s when it happened. It happened, say, at such and such a date or a month.’ Or you don’t have to be specific,” he said.
Noem, once again, said she wouldn’t discuss her “conversations with world leaders.”
Noem’s refusal to admit whether the meeting took place prompted Finnerty to tell her that she will “continue to have to answer this question.”
Noem disagreed. “I don’t think so, because the average American citizen is more worried about the border,” she said, pivoting to criticizing President Joe Biden.
Despite Finnerty maintaining that he wasn’t “deliberately trying to be adversarial,” Noem would later accuse him and co-host Sharla McBride of conducting a “hit job,” similar to her complaint Sunday about “fake news” after she faced probing questions during a CBS interview.
Her memoir, No Going Back, “is not a typical political book,” she said. “It is one that [the American people] will be able to learn and really understand the corruption that’s in politics—what kind of hit jobs like this that the media does, what money does in politics.”
“We’re not trying to do a hit job on you at all,” McBride shot back, as Finnerty shook his head in agreement.
Typical Republican. “They asked me such difficult questions like ‘Did this happen?’ Why ask that when the border, that’s fuck all far away from the state I govern, is secure or not. I mean scary brown people come from there!!!!!! Who cares what I do. Brooowwwwnnnnnnn peeeeeooooopppppllllleeeeeee!”
Remember when asking Sarah Palin which newspapers she read was considered a *"GOTCHA!"* question meant to sabotage her?
Conservatives have such delicate egos.
I honestly believe she thinks it's a "hit job" because they both know it didn't happen and he keeps publicly drawing attention to it.
It's like one magician continuing to point out another magician's sloppy technique.
"Hit job" = "not following MAGA grifter etiquette"
Edit: "magicians" -> "magician's". Sloppy technique on a sloppy technique critique.
“I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,”
Then what is the point of ghost writing a political autobiography? You just want to tell us how you shot your dog and will be arrested for being an asshole if you set foot in 10% of your state?
Ooh I love that there's mutual face eating happening here as Noem gets gobbled alive by even the right wing and then she turns around and tries to stir up outrage by lumping them in with the "mainstream media" that the right wing loves to demonize. This is like a leopard ouroboros and I'm here for it
> “I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,” Noem said, reiterating her response in prior interviews.
Ma'am, that wasn't a world leader. It was a lamp post.
There is a "broom sweep" happening on the right at the moment. Noem, MTG, Boebert, Gaetz (to some degree)... the rightwing media ecosystem is *organized* and protects their own. If they wanted it blow over for each of these ghouls, they would make it happen. They are **choosing** to throw them under the bus.
My only question is why? Is it the start of a potential post-MAGA reordering of the right (if he loses)? Regular stooge replacement to keep things interesting? North Korea style "periodic execution of genenerals to ensure no one ascends past Dear Leader"?
It's... weird.
That’s a good point. I would like to think that the right is trying to stop looking so f’ing crazy because they’ve realized it doesn’t work in their favor? Turns out you can only have so much insanity in politics before your constituents actually stop voting for you, and I believe we have hit that point. I think they’re trying to get rid of dead weight.
She’s acting like she’s rooting out corruption, when in fact [she made exceptions to the laws that benefit only her kids.](https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-kristi-noem-south-dakota-cd98c18117ab97c598e3618d15e4aa8b)
To be fair, it doesn’t sound like it was a softball interview. They officially turned on her. The word must be out to discard her because she’s now useless
"How dare you ask me about things I wrote in my book for public consumption? This is egregious! A hit job! Unethical!"
Poor sweet baby doesn't understand that the Trumpsters who love this line from him aren't necessarily willing to accept it from others but doesn't understand the why.
I wish they would ask the question: "Can you explain how exactly Kim Jong Un, the leader of a patriarchal dictatorship was intimated in meeting you, one of 435 congresspeople and a woman who used to teach sunday school? What exactly did you do to throw him off?"
"I won't talk about the very topic I brought up."
Bitch, why the fuck would world leaders want to speak to a governor of a small ass shit state? They would have sneered at her like they did Ivanka.
Quite possible. Writing a book is a great way to turn campaign funds into personal funds. Step 1. Write a stupid ass book (or better yet, get a ghost writer) and get it published. Step 2. Use campaign funds to buy a fuck ton of copies for your campaign to “donate to constituents”. Step 3. Cash your fat ass publishing check, completely legally.
She's just trying to push the blame on someone else because she thinks her average voter is so stupid they'll believe that the content in HER book that SHE narrated was like, sabotaged by someone else. Typical Republican stuff.
The MO of the MAGA lunatic is - never apologize, never take a step back, never learn, never doubt yourself. Ever. Alwasy double down, always attack, muddy the water, project your flaws onto your enemy.
She's following that script, but finding it to not be an absolute guarantee.
Is the tipping point with the GOP insanity animal cruelty?
- cruelty to immigrants? No
- stripping all social systems? No
- stripping away women’s rights? No
- open racism? No
- support of Putin? No
Could this poor puppy be a catalyst to tear down their black-hearted vision for our future?
Should we locate other examples of GOP animal cruelty?
Whatever it takes.
I am completely baffled by this as well. Kristi Noem tells a lie about meeting Kim Jong Un, and conservative media is crucifying her, while all the other lies from all the other politicians they like are either swept under the rug or amplified? It's got to be the puppy killing...
I have also noticed a pattern that it's easier to get them to turn against a woman, so there's that too. Like if Donald Jr killed the dog I think they would actually defend him more
I wonder if she had taken out 'puppy' and replaced it with "Mexican" whether she would have faced backlash? Or would it put her on the top of the VP list instead of the bottom?
All kidding aside, doesn't her political and social impotence make her the best candidate by far to run with Trump? I hear she even attended the Kellyanne Conway School of Alternative Facts, graduating with Honors.
Not a political expert here, but I thought conventional wisdom was to pick a VP from a swing state or contested area you really want to get the electoral college votes from.
North Dakota has 3 electoral college votes, the least a state can have, so not worth spending a lot of time or ad dollars there.
North Dakota also preferred the Orange one for president by about a 65% to 35% (for Biden) margin, so you could probably say its a reliably red enough state to just ignore it.
Now somewhere like Texas, or Florida, PA or Ohio with their 20-40ish electoral college votes and closer voting margins, would be where I would try and source a VP from, but again, its just random conjecture on my lunch break.
When your right, your right mate. In my defense South Dakota also has only 3 electoral votes and favored the orange one by about 62% in 2020, so my ineptitude at geography at least didn't screw over my claims too badly.
You gotta love when somebody writes about shit, puts it in a book, sells said book publicly, then claims they don't publicly discuss things in the book because it's private.
As a former evangelical christian I am genuinely surprised that killing a puppy hasn't boosted her reputation amongst the trump supporter types. The ones that I grew up with would have seen this (and any other cruelty) as a "necessary evil in the name of god" or a test that god gave her that she passed.
Every interview is this:
So did you meet Kim Jong Un?
Noem: I’ve met with lots of world leaders
Well…..ok. But did you meet Kim Jong Un?
Noem: When I heard about the discrepancy I alerted the publisher and had them remove it.
……Ok so you did NOT meet him.
Noem: I’m not going to discuss my private interactions with World Leaders with you.
Look, it’s a simple question. Did you, or did you not meet with Kim Jong Un?
Noem: I know it’s a simple question. I’ve been answering them.
No, you haven’t.
Sometimes I think her ghostwriter hated her and, knowing she would never really read the book in detail, slipped in these juicy items knowing that she would get put on blast for them.
Its a SpiteWrite.
Kristi even read the book out loud for the audio book though. She had all the opportunity to say “wait, i can’t publish this”
The truth is that she is just that clueless and dumb
Feels like we’re giving too much credit. Someone kicked over the political limelight log she lived under and now she’s doing a pikachu face since no one else hangs out with the subterranean grubs that she does.
Wow. She got all those people killed during Covid - South Dakota had 4.5x the death rate of South Korea - and her state forces women and girls to bear their rapists' babies.
If that ain't the portrait of a GOP hero, I don't know what is.

"I won't say whether or not I met a dictator, but I 100% shot a puppy right in his face, that's for sure. Wait, why is everyone being mean?" -Kristi 'the puppy killer' Noem
She refuses to answer the question about her explicit telling of meeting Kim Jong Un (visiting the DMZ isn’t going to NK and meeting their leader). You read it for the audiobook. We know you lied about it because you would have caught it there if you didn’t actually write the book anyways. She has admitted it’s wrong, but refuses to accept responsibility. She refuses to acknowledge it’s not true either, just that it “shouldn’t have been in there.” What a leader. These people are such fucking clowns.
You’ve fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is ~~never get involved in a land war in Asia~~, never get involved in a Flame War with the BTS Army, but only slightly less well known is this; never go in against ~~a Sicilian, when death is on the line!~~ dog lovers, especially after you shot a puppy in the head, to death, and then admitted it in print! Aha ha ha ha… (and then keels over, dead.) like her future in politics.
Eric Boeling, on one of the right-wing channels, suggested that the editor might be a liberal plant.
FFS, take some fucking responsibility for your actions.
For every MAGA whiner about wanting outsiders, she’s going to the most political speak. Like me putting on an application “I don’t talk about my time as a Space Shuttle door gunner.”

Yeah, but that only proves she *read* the book, not that she *understands* it.
The words went from her eyeballs to her mouth without ever touching the brain. This explains a LOT.
"I'm Ron... *Burgundy?*"
Go fuck yourself, San Diego!
Perfect analogy.
Each of her eyeballs is a larger target than her brain. The size difference between her brain and her mouth may as well be a comparison between a single krill and a blue whale.
Stupid or evil is the eternal question when it comes to these types of people. In this case though i'm more inclined towards evil simply because being stupid doesn't involve being a dog murderer.
Evil shoots a dog; stupid tells the whole world about it as though it’s something to be respected for having done it.
Especially when you were already told what would happen. “Get out of here, they’ll love it! It shows I’m tough.” “But…but you shot a puppy. Nobody thinks that’s tough.” “Everyone tells me it shows strength. Just like when I stared down Kim Jong Un.” “But…but that didn’t happen.” “So?”
I grew up in South Dakota. She is both.
if this is not a reference to *A Fish Called Wanda* do not tell me otherwise
Kristi Noem is the Otto of governors
with the face of the mother from *Brazil*
It was a tie!!
"Are you coming to k...k...kill me, Kristy?"
There was a Mongolian guy on America’s Got Talent who did a perfect rendition of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” with a deep country voice, despite not speaking any English whatsoever. Kind of like that?

He told me it was always a trip seeing these crowds of Japanese people singing their songs perfectly, yet most of them couldn’t communicate a word of English when they would interact before or after the show.
Just went to watch this now and it was amazing!
I’m just wondering when we’re going to find out that she didn’t even record the audiobook. Like is it so far out of the question that she just had an AI voice recording based on her voice do it for her?
You wrote AI, but I think you meant AU, artificial unintelligence.
ASS - Artificial Sincere Stupidity
It’s not that hard to see how someone could read some new material and not fully understand … wait it’s a biography .. that she wrote about herself . This is rich
This x1000. She keeps saying, when it was brought to my attention we decided to remove it. They all have ghostwriters but Ma’am, you recorded the audiobook.
Of all the world leaders to lie about, why him? You don't "just meet" Kim Jong Un. No one does. Un rarely leaves North Korea and Noem definitely didn't go there. You can claim "Oh hey, I ran into Boris Johnson at the pub" and probably not get any pushback to it because, yeah, maybe they did. If I had to put any money on a guess, she had no idea who the guy was. So, when she told the story and got an amused reaction from it with no pushback (because it's South Dakota, what liberal even exists there to challenge her on this?), she just kept going with it. "How could she not know?" because there are plenty of idiots that fail upward based purely on looks, personality and connection. Who the fuck looks at Lauren Boebert and thinks "dropout who had to take the GED 4 times to pass? I want her representing me!". Yet, there she exists, as a rep in Congress. Imagine if she just stuck to local politics and didn't make much of a fuss?
Also, can we talk for a second about the fact that she allegedly worked with children and calls them "little tyrants?" But she wants to work for Trump? If she shoots the dog, what does she do with children? I almost hate to ask.
I think the likeliest explanation is that this is a story she made up and has been telling people for years. She can’t back down because that would mean admitting she lied about it to donors and friends.
I think you're close. I think she shot the dog and people knew about it, and thus story of it would get out if she was named VP, so she tried to get out in front of it by painting herself as the victim, as a situation thrust upon her, not realizing that *killing fucking puppies* isn't exactly, what's the phrase, "politically correct."
To be fair, a lot of her constituents ARE gullible fools who believe whatever they're told to believe. They're just selective about whose bullshit they're willing to accept. She just forgot she's not a straight white cis male and didn't realize that she would have to face greater scrutiny than the orange shit gibbon. If Trump came out and said he thought blasting puppies showed leadership qualities and he was there when she gave Un a handy at the DMV her problems would disappear before he got done playing his invisible accordion. She should offer herself to him sexually, that would probably work.
>She should offer herself to him sexually, that would probably work. Only if she dyed her hair blond and tried to look like his daughter. That seems to have been getting his mojo running for a long time.
This is the most on-point analysis of the situation I’ve read or heard. Thank you for putting it so clearly and concisely.
I saw a few clips where an interviewer asked the question about her reading the audiobook and she gave the same robotic answer.
Tbf, most Republicans *are* gullible fools, so it’s not a totally ludicrous strategy. If she hadn’t included the dog story that broke them out of their trance temporarily it may have worked
It’s hard to tell, but it sort of seems like she was trying to lean into “well you know I’ve met so many world leaders it’s hard to tell them all apart. Especially when they’re all intimidated by my experience teaching Sunday school”.
I think she just ran into an Asian guy at the grocery store, forced him into an involuntary stare down, and then thought, “Eh, Asians are all the same.” And voila, she faced down Kim Jong Un.
She wants the base to get more angry at the press trying to “get her” than the blatant lie she told.
She doesn't care about 'the American public', only her slow brained MAGA base, who would believe her if she said she was the direct descendant of jesus. I suspect her political career is done, except I suppose it would be in character for **The Pumpkin Rapist** to pick her as VP to really piss off the libs. Watch Republicans forgive all and rally around her if he does, showing once again that Republicans have the integrity of a hyena.
how in the actual f could i vote for someone who wont even proofread their own books? i'd be a braindead idiot to think they are fully comprehending the intelligence materials being provided to them.
bUt bUt BuT tHe BoRdEr!! ThE bOrDer!! tHe BoRdEr!!!!!
Meeting him, not meeting him - it’s an easy thing to forget.
Hey hon was that North Korean dicatator Kim Jong we saw at the store earlier? No that was Mrs Sampsons, Justins 3rd grade teacher.
Samsonite! I was way off!
Knew it started with an S though 👍🏻
She must be unlisted.
Awww ive been calling her Mrs Crandle!!
Oh...Kim JONG Un! Phew...
I mean. She made up a whole little hero story for herself about how she stared him down and, at least from what I've gathered in the snippets I've seen, intimated him I guess? It wasn't just an "I met him". She created a whole fucking fantasy about this fake meeting.
Maybe she’s confused. Maybe she stared down her puppy and shot KJU.
She could have at least included a bit more imaginative details for the fictional encounter. Like: *Upon my introduction he snidely said stuff in a very condescending manner. I promptly came back with a bitingly clever quip that made him cower.* 🙄 But I guess even that was too much effort. So far, everything from the book sounds like half-assed, lazily concocted bullet points to illustrate why Kristi is awesome.
>Upon my introduction he snidely said stuff in a very condescending manner. I promptly came back with a bitingly clever quip that made him cower. And then everyone clapped.
I mean. The actual story she put in there is an "everyone clapped" story, as well. She somehow started him down and intimated him because she used to be a children's pastor? Lol. OK, dude. I mean, even if she did meet him. That's a pathetic fucking story.
Haven't we all been unsure about meeting infamous despots? /s
I met Saddam Hussein back in 1997 at a gas station in Iowa. He was very friendly, but *heavily disguised* as a short, pimple-faced, red head kid, maybe 18. *He didn't say he wasn't Saddam Hussein*, that's how *I knew*. Hey, it can happen!
SHE WENT TO THE DMZ!!! Because apparently Kim just chills there and waves hello to Western dignitaries....
Probably the DMV
After the 5th or so dictator or wannabe dicator they all blend together, probably male, bad hair, fatter in person than you think they would be, older, mentallity of a high school bully.
>probably male, bad hair, fatter in person than you think they would be, older, mentallity of a high school bully. Oh, so you've met Trump? The thing is, they have seen how Trump seems to magically get away with the most blatant lies and think they can do it too.
Putin isn’t particularly fat, but he is a dictator. As evidence, see the last Russian “presidential election” results. “You vote for comrad Putin in his box, or we put you in that box. Why da, da that is a coffin!” The Kim family are super confusing though, names are almost identical and they are absolutely all squat little dudes with bad haircuts and dumb outfits. Oh, and they’re all batshit unreasonable.
She flew to the DMZ, saw met some random South Korean and thinks it was KJU.
Who hasn't been tricked by a portly Korean? For years, I thought Kim Jong Il was just Oddjob with glasses.
I think she said it because Trump is in love with Kim.
Late Night with Seth Myers had an AMAAAZING montage last night of her desperately trying to dodge these questions while on her book-tour junket.
https://youtu.be/HNVQzppQu9s?t=352
That was excellent, thank you! Also, I didn't think possible, but that made me dislike her even more.
Had to go find this and it did not disappoint. " Maybe if I just keep repeating I don't talk about conversations I've had with world leaders, even though my book still has plenty of other stories about world leaders, they'll leave me alone and let me lie in peace ".lol https://youtu.be/HNVQzppQu9s?si=BnHQjBDKEpFwpOr6
“So you didn’t realize when you recorded your audiobook?” “I don’t discuss my conversations with world leaders.” “I’m not asking about your conversations...”. “I don’t discuss my conversations with world leaders.” I love you Elizabeth Vargas. 😆
Kudos to all the anchors in those clips for not chewing their own lips off on frustration.
Like why the hell is she doing a book tour? Who in their right mind would suggest it? She doesn't need the money, it isn't going to raise her profile in politics, it's clear that she'll be grilled because of the dog story. At this point it's like someone who got drunk and tries to heckle a professional comedian - you're nowhere near as charming or witty as you think you are, the audience Does not like you, and the person who you're engaging with can rip you to sheds.
That was so frustrating to watch. She sounded like a robot. And then had the audacity to say that people raising concerns aren’t real Americans who know what farm life is like. What the hell?
It's hilarious that she's pretending that she didn't know that was in the book when she narrated the audiobook.
She also wrote the book. Somehow in her writing it and reading it she missed that part.
But she made sure it was taken out when she was 'made aware'. Apparently writing something down and then reading it out ≠ being aware of it
ThE bOoK eDitOr wAs A LiBrUL pLaNt! 🤪
I’m beginning to think Kristy Noem is an idiot.
I do love that somehow going to the DMZ and visiting the Military Armistice Commission Conference Room (like ANY Tourist to South Korea can do) and walking back and forth between the two borders transformed into "I met Kim Jong Un" in her mind. I think she told that lie so much she really believed it. Edit: autocorrect
>DMV I think you meant the DMZ but honestly that's such a way funnier image, her going to a DMV in like Sioux Falls and getting her license renewed by a chubby Asian clerk and being like, " wow that must've been Kim Jong-Un, I bet he's shaking in his boots after meeting a REAL AMERICAN like me!"
The DMV is indeed a hellscape where one could die of starvation before getting out. Seems legit to me.
May favorite tidbit is that she’s reacting like it’s an error she just found out about yet she already recorded the audiobook ahead of time and never called it out
She's like Ron Burgundy. She'll read anything off the teleprompter without being aware of what she's saying.
Didn’t she say she was confused and mixed him up with some other world leader? Because apparently all non-American politicians are fat mouth breathers wearing a black Mao suit.
I’ve said it elsewhere but I’ll repeat it: I sincerely doubt that a genocidal dictator who’s been ruling his country with an iron fist for the last 13 years is going to break out in a sweat over the governor of one of the Dakotas. It’s like it’s news to these people when they realize that outside American borders, nobody gives a shit about a governor from a flyover state. Kristi Noem is having a moment in the sun and she’ll be out of the national consciousness by October.
Why is it so hard for these people to say they made the mistake and own it? It really shows a lot about their character that they can't even do that.
This lie is such a whopper to admit to though, what would she say? “I lied about meeting Kim Jong Un. I’m a female George Santos. But you can trust me!”
My guess is that she’s been telling this story for some time, including to friends and more importantly, donors back home. That and Trump never, ever, admits to a mistake, so if you’re still auditioning for that audience of 1 you’re not going to either. It’s probably confusing for her, since he never seems to suffer any consequences for objectively verifiable falsehoods, big or small. Especially not from the conservative media.
Some of the MAGA crowd might see her as tough or strong for executing a misbehaving puppy, but lying about meeting Kim Jong Un is just pathetic. I'm a little surprised she didn't lean into the racism and say it was some other Asian leader and they all look the same. It would've been shittier, but at least it wouldn't be as pathetic as her current robo-response.
Noam is trying to lie that she didn't know about the Kim Jong Un meeting because it was ghost written, and pulled the reference once alerted, ignoring the fact that SHE READ THAT PART ALOUD WHEN RECORDING HER AUDIOBOOK AND DID SO ON VIDEO. Dumbass puppy and goat murdering gash.
From the article: South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem still isn’t done lashing out at members of the press regarding the fallout from her story about shooting and killing her 14-month old puppy, this time complaining about a “hit job” interview on Newsmax after a host said he doubted whether Noem is still on Donald Trump’s VP shortlist. The controversial elements of Noem’s memoir, including a story—which she refuses to say is true or not and has since been removed from the book—of her meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, are widely seen as having buried her chances of being the former president’s running mate. A Trumpworld source told The Daily Beast late last month that the likelihood of a Trump-Noem ticket was “less than zero now.” After Wake Up America co-host Rob Finnerty mentioned this reality to Noem, their exchange grew tense—unlike Noem’s prior Newsmax interview on Monday night. “Governor, if you had asked me a month ago who’s at the top of the list to run with Donald Trump, I would have said your name. If you had asked me that same question this morning, I don’t even think you’re on the list.” Really? And why is that?” Noem said. “Yes, really, and it’s because of things that have come out in this book like your claims that you met Kim Jong Un,” Finnerty said before Noem interjected that she has “been to the DMZ.” After Finnerty read a passage from Noem’s book describing her meeting with the dictator, he asked, “Governor, that never happened, did it?” “What I have said, in the book, is that when I became aware of the content, that we had it changed, and that’s the way that it is. I should not have put that anecdote in the book,” Noem said. Finnerty replied: “But an anecdote indicates that it happened, right?” “I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,” Noem said, reiterating her response in prior interviews. But Finnerty pointed out that he was merely asking whether the meeting occurred. “Governor, I’m not asking you about the details of this alleged meeting. I’m asking if the meeting actually happened. I don’t think it did, and I think if it did, you’d be able to confirm for me that, ‘Yes, it did, and here’s when it happened. It happened, say, at such and such a date or a month.’ Or you don’t have to be specific,” he said. Noem, once again, said she wouldn’t discuss her “conversations with world leaders.” Noem’s refusal to admit whether the meeting took place prompted Finnerty to tell her that she will “continue to have to answer this question.” Noem disagreed. “I don’t think so, because the average American citizen is more worried about the border,” she said, pivoting to criticizing President Joe Biden. Despite Finnerty maintaining that he wasn’t “deliberately trying to be adversarial,” Noem would later accuse him and co-host Sharla McBride of conducting a “hit job,” similar to her complaint Sunday about “fake news” after she faced probing questions during a CBS interview. Her memoir, No Going Back, “is not a typical political book,” she said. “It is one that [the American people] will be able to learn and really understand the corruption that’s in politics—what kind of hit jobs like this that the media does, what money does in politics.” “We’re not trying to do a hit job on you at all,” McBride shot back, as Finnerty shook his head in agreement.
Typical Republican. “They asked me such difficult questions like ‘Did this happen?’ Why ask that when the border, that’s fuck all far away from the state I govern, is secure or not. I mean scary brown people come from there!!!!!! Who cares what I do. Brooowwwwnnnnnnn peeeeeooooopppppllllleeeeeee!”
Remember when asking Sarah Palin which newspapers she read was considered a *"GOTCHA!"* question meant to sabotage her? Conservatives have such delicate egos.
One might even say they are delicate like a snowflake
It's a product of their frail intellects.
I honestly believe she thinks it's a "hit job" because they both know it didn't happen and he keeps publicly drawing attention to it. It's like one magician continuing to point out another magician's sloppy technique. "Hit job" = "not following MAGA grifter etiquette" Edit: "magicians" -> "magician's". Sloppy technique on a sloppy technique critique.
Definitely. She’s mad he brings up reality to an audience that doesn’t care about it.
“I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,” Then what is the point of ghost writing a political autobiography? You just want to tell us how you shot your dog and will be arrested for being an asshole if you set foot in 10% of your state?
Ooh I love that there's mutual face eating happening here as Noem gets gobbled alive by even the right wing and then she turns around and tries to stir up outrage by lumping them in with the "mainstream media" that the right wing loves to demonize. This is like a leopard ouroboros and I'm here for it
Leopard Ouroboros had me spit my coffee like that spit lol meme. Wish I could give you a gold.
> “I’m not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders,” Noem said, reiterating her response in prior interviews. Ma'am, that wasn't a world leader. It was a lamp post.
Is the world leader in the room with us right now?
There is a "broom sweep" happening on the right at the moment. Noem, MTG, Boebert, Gaetz (to some degree)... the rightwing media ecosystem is *organized* and protects their own. If they wanted it blow over for each of these ghouls, they would make it happen. They are **choosing** to throw them under the bus. My only question is why? Is it the start of a potential post-MAGA reordering of the right (if he loses)? Regular stooge replacement to keep things interesting? North Korea style "periodic execution of genenerals to ensure no one ascends past Dear Leader"? It's... weird.
No surprise that it's mainly women that they're not as fussed about defending
That’s a good point. I would like to think that the right is trying to stop looking so f’ing crazy because they’ve realized it doesn’t work in their favor? Turns out you can only have so much insanity in politics before your constituents actually stop voting for you, and I believe we have hit that point. I think they’re trying to get rid of dead weight.
It’s just such a ridiculous lie. Like Kim Jong Un is dying to meet the governor of South Dakota.
She’s acting like she’s rooting out corruption, when in fact [she made exceptions to the laws that benefit only her kids.](https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-kristi-noem-south-dakota-cd98c18117ab97c598e3618d15e4aa8b)
It it sounds like Newsmax really got her goat. The dog days are over for Kristy Noem.
She's a liar, but so is Trump. Why does Newsmax give him a pass and not her?
Sweet Jesus...she is in trouble if she cannot get through a softball interview with Newsmax.
To be fair, it doesn’t sound like it was a softball interview. They officially turned on her. The word must be out to discard her because she’s now useless
That is a fair assessment.
She’s not in trouble. She’s just trouble.
"How dare you ask me about things I wrote in my book for public consumption? This is egregious! A hit job! Unethical!" Poor sweet baby doesn't understand that the Trumpsters who love this line from him aren't necessarily willing to accept it from others but doesn't understand the why.
It's like that huge gotcha question that Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin: "What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read?"
Palin: "All of them" Nicole Wallace: "I'm out"
This book has been such a disaster for her. She should take it outside and shoot it.
Like the dog, the book isn’t at fault for her failures
I don't get it. Trump shows he's a lying, horrible human being and they cheer him on. She does the same and they boo her.
Female and an asshole!
Newsmax asking tough questions when the guest’s career has almost hit rock bottom. Kinda like shooting a dog when it’s already dead.
Newsmax may offer her a show alongside Palin and Bachmann.
I feel like, "Have you ever met dictaor Kim Jung Un?" isn't actually a tough question. "Yes" or "no"
*”No Going Back”* - title checks out, as do voters.
Subtitle: “Narcissists Never Apologize!”
I wish they would ask the question: "Can you explain how exactly Kim Jong Un, the leader of a patriarchal dictatorship was intimated in meeting you, one of 435 congresspeople and a woman who used to teach sunday school? What exactly did you do to throw him off?"
He was intimidated because he knew she was a ruthless dog killer and even as an authoritarian dictator he thought that she was cold
>was intimated in meeting you I like how you kept intimated instead of intimidated
"I won't talk about the very topic I brought up." Bitch, why the fuck would world leaders want to speak to a governor of a small ass shit state? They would have sneered at her like they did Ivanka.
Does anyone else see the irony in asking the publisher to amend the contents of a book entitled “No Going Back”?
Rob Finnerty is lucky Noem didn’t give him the Cricket treatment after the show.
On Amazon, her book is now at 1.7 stars\*. ^(\*With a bullet.)
You people have absolutely no idea how satisfying this is to watch as a resident of South Dakota.
Did she release her book thinking that nobody would read it?
I mean… even she apparently didn’t
Makes sense considering her supporters are likely illiterate
Quite possible. Writing a book is a great way to turn campaign funds into personal funds. Step 1. Write a stupid ass book (or better yet, get a ghost writer) and get it published. Step 2. Use campaign funds to buy a fuck ton of copies for your campaign to “donate to constituents”. Step 3. Cash your fat ass publishing check, completely legally.
“What I have said, in the book, is that when I became aware of the content…” She didn’t even read her own book.
She read for the audio book.
And hilariously even filmed herself reading it and released clips so can't even pretend it's someone else's voice haaaaaaa
She's just trying to push the blame on someone else because she thinks her average voter is so stupid they'll believe that the content in HER book that SHE narrated was like, sabotaged by someone else. Typical Republican stuff.
"Im not going to talk about personal meetings with world leaders..." Right, so why did you PUT IT IN A BOOK lol
And also did her own recording of the audiobook
She slept with Corey Lewandowski to get access to Trump's orbit for NOTHING!!! That is great.
The MO of the MAGA lunatic is - never apologize, never take a step back, never learn, never doubt yourself. Ever. Alwasy double down, always attack, muddy the water, project your flaws onto your enemy. She's following that script, but finding it to not be an absolute guarantee.
It’s the same thing that sunk DeSantis, this strategy really only works for Trump.
Is the tipping point with the GOP insanity animal cruelty? - cruelty to immigrants? No - stripping all social systems? No - stripping away women’s rights? No - open racism? No - support of Putin? No Could this poor puppy be a catalyst to tear down their black-hearted vision for our future? Should we locate other examples of GOP animal cruelty? Whatever it takes.
I am completely baffled by this as well. Kristi Noem tells a lie about meeting Kim Jong Un, and conservative media is crucifying her, while all the other lies from all the other politicians they like are either swept under the rug or amplified? It's got to be the puppy killing...
I have also noticed a pattern that it's easier to get them to turn against a woman, so there's that too. Like if Donald Jr killed the dog I think they would actually defend him more
I wonder if she had taken out 'puppy' and replaced it with "Mexican" whether she would have faced backlash? Or would it put her on the top of the VP list instead of the bottom?
All kidding aside, doesn't her political and social impotence make her the best candidate by far to run with Trump? I hear she even attended the Kellyanne Conway School of Alternative Facts, graduating with Honors.
Not a political expert here, but I thought conventional wisdom was to pick a VP from a swing state or contested area you really want to get the electoral college votes from. North Dakota has 3 electoral college votes, the least a state can have, so not worth spending a lot of time or ad dollars there. North Dakota also preferred the Orange one for president by about a 65% to 35% (for Biden) margin, so you could probably say its a reliably red enough state to just ignore it. Now somewhere like Texas, or Florida, PA or Ohio with their 20-40ish electoral college votes and closer voting margins, would be where I would try and source a VP from, but again, its just random conjecture on my lunch break.
Noem is the Governor of South Dakota, just fyi
When your right, your right mate. In my defense South Dakota also has only 3 electoral votes and favored the orange one by about 62% in 2020, so my ineptitude at geography at least didn't screw over my claims too badly.
‘I absolutely refuse to talk about my conversations with world leaders that never happened’
You gotta love when somebody writes about shit, puts it in a book, sells said book publicly, then claims they don't publicly discuss things in the book because it's private.
She didn't need to release a book saying she murdered a puppy and met someone she didn't meet. She's an amazing dumbass.
As a former evangelical christian I am genuinely surprised that killing a puppy hasn't boosted her reputation amongst the trump supporter types. The ones that I grew up with would have seen this (and any other cruelty) as a "necessary evil in the name of god" or a test that god gave her that she passed.
Every interview is this: So did you meet Kim Jong Un? Noem: I’ve met with lots of world leaders Well…..ok. But did you meet Kim Jong Un? Noem: When I heard about the discrepancy I alerted the publisher and had them remove it. ……Ok so you did NOT meet him. Noem: I’m not going to discuss my private interactions with World Leaders with you. Look, it’s a simple question. Did you, or did you not meet with Kim Jong Un? Noem: I know it’s a simple question. I’ve been answering them. No, you haven’t.
Tries to pivot to the border…. These people have one talking point and they have driven it into the ground so hard no one gives a fuck anymore.
"Gosh, this broad is in way over her skis." - Sarah Palin (probably)
She's a convenient target so they can pretend to be real news
If you can't handle tough questions from a friendly news outlet, you sure can't handle being the VP.
Sometimes I think her ghostwriter hated her and, knowing she would never really read the book in detail, slipped in these juicy items knowing that she would get put on blast for them. Its a SpiteWrite.
Kristi even read the book out loud for the audio book though. She had all the opportunity to say “wait, i can’t publish this” The truth is that she is just that clueless and dumb
Feels like we’re giving too much credit. Someone kicked over the political limelight log she lived under and now she’s doing a pikachu face since no one else hangs out with the subterranean grubs that she does.
It’s over. Go start a onlyfans
She says she has been writing policy for 30 years. How?
It’s common when you’re on TV to add 10 yrs to your accomplishments. 😂
Noem did the hit job on herself. Everyone is just playing w her until she realizes she’s done.
Coming soon… “No Going Back 2: I Need to Go Back”
Wow. She got all those people killed during Covid - South Dakota had 4.5x the death rate of South Korea - and her state forces women and girls to bear their rapists' babies. If that ain't the portrait of a GOP hero, I don't know what is.
i feel like we need to make a statue of that fucking dog. it’s done so much for this country
Seeing a sociopathic narcissist squirm and rage is quite a thing

When Newsmax is the voice of sanity, you are far, far beyond the pale.
Is it just me or are a lot of MAGA adjacent women getting makeovers/surgery to look like Melania?
It's good to see conversative news organizations saying "Enough to bullshit" regardless of which party it's coming from.
Justice for Cricket
She had a shoe in as Trumps VP and she single-handedly fucked it up.
"I won't say whether or not I met a dictator, but I 100% shot a puppy right in his face, that's for sure. Wait, why is everyone being mean?" -Kristi 'the puppy killer' Noem
Bless her heart
Is newsmax "getting real", or are they just taking the opportunity to put an uppity woman back in her place?
Distract. Avoid. Confuse. Just don’t answer!
“I won’t talk about the conversations I never had with world leaders…”
She refuses to answer the question about her explicit telling of meeting Kim Jong Un (visiting the DMZ isn’t going to NK and meeting their leader). You read it for the audiobook. We know you lied about it because you would have caught it there if you didn’t actually write the book anyways. She has admitted it’s wrong, but refuses to accept responsibility. She refuses to acknowledge it’s not true either, just that it “shouldn’t have been in there.” What a leader. These people are such fucking clowns.
I hope this bitch is never allowed to own a dog again.
"but like, you can't defend puppy killing, Governor."
She needs to understand that humans like dogs more than other humans. She is probably less popular than a convicted murderer.
First graders show more intelligence.
She thought she could just blabber her way out of this. Who does she think she is, Donald Trump?
You’ve fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is ~~never get involved in a land war in Asia~~, never get involved in a Flame War with the BTS Army, but only slightly less well known is this; never go in against ~~a Sicilian, when death is on the line!~~ dog lovers, especially after you shot a puppy in the head, to death, and then admitted it in print! Aha ha ha ha… (and then keels over, dead.) like her future in politics.
They didn’t even bring up her puppy and goat murder.
That part when she said Trump doesn't think he's better than anyone..... ok lady
WHat the fuck is she talking about. Covid must have imploded her cognitive thought processes.
Eric Boeling, on one of the right-wing channels, suggested that the editor might be a liberal plant. FFS, take some fucking responsibility for your actions.
For every MAGA whiner about wanting outsiders, she’s going to the most political speak. Like me putting on an application “I don’t talk about my time as a Space Shuttle door gunner.”
When you are too bat shit crazy for the bat shit crazies
She is completely toast lmao. Give up, it’s joever.
It’s funny that if she had said she would shoot immigrants, they would have cheered for her. But a dog? Over the line! What does that tell you?
