South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem may want to re-think her book tour.
A new claim surfaced during Noem’s first Sunday morning political show interview. For some reason, her book tour handlers thought it was a good idea for the Republican governor to be interviewed by CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. To be kind, I would say the interview did not go well for Noem.
To be brutally honest, I would say that the interview was a disaster. Her book is set to be released on Tuesday.
A brand new controversy has emerged. In her new book, „No Going Back,“ the governor tells a story about meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. That little bombshell received more attention than the story about Cricket the Dog has received up until now. To say it was a surprise is an understatement.
„I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,“ she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. „I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).“
What?
She continued to refuse to answer the question.
“There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ and specifics I’m willing to share,” she said. “There’s some specifics I’m not willing to share with you. I’ve traveled the world and visited with world leaders. Some of that is referenced in the book and this anecdote is something, when brought to my attention, we made some changes and when the book is released we’ll do all that we can to see that that is reflected.”
In the book, she speaks about meetings with many world leaders when she was a member of the House Armed Services Committee. It turns out that the meeting with Kim Jong-un didn’t happen. She was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019.
