Noem's Corporate Capitulation
[American Greatness] - South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem made a name for herself after she stood boldly against COVID-19 lockdown policies in her state. Going from a relative unknown to a nationally-recognized figure essentially overnight, Noem is now considered to be on the short list of Republican presidential contenders moving forward.

Former President Donald Trump even named Noem a rising young star within his remade America-First GOP during a recent podcast appearance with Lisa Boothe of Fox News. Noem has emerged along with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri as viable politicians who could carry the base for generations beyond Trump.

And then, in one fell swoop, she messed it all up by opposing House Bill 1217, a measure pushed by South Dakota Republicans in the state legislature that would protect female sports from the invasion by transgender athletes born biological males. Christian activists are enraged at the latest betrayal of traditional values and mental sanity from a Republican leader.

...Noem seemed like she was one of the few who could buck the trend when she rejected COVID-19 lockdown mandates in South Dakota. After her capitulation on transgender insanity, it is apparent Noem is another corporate servant of Big Capital. She fights COVID-19 mandates not due to principle but rather because it negatively impacts the bottom-line of big business entities affiliated with the Republican establishment.

#1 She's dropping like a lead zeppelin in my book. Or, perhaps I am only now learning what others already knew.

I think what got the ball rolling was her Sec of State getting off lightly after hitting and killing a man while driving a car and claimed he thought he hit a deer. That's Democrap rubbish.

#3 I think only if Noem begins to bash Trump. Very very disappointing news out of South Dakota, that's for sure.

#4 I hate One Strike You’re Out thinking, and am willing to wait to see what results from this. Legislatures have in the past been known to write and pass careless laws that do not accomplish what they intended.
