Another setback for Kristi Noem.
Last week, South Dakota’s Government Accountability Board voted to continue moving forward with its investigation into two separate ethics complaints against gay-hating Republican leader.
Noem, who believes 10-year-old rape victims should be forced to have their rapist’s babies, tried to get the complaints tossed out, but the board chose instead to extend the time it has to investigate the allegations.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The 50-year-old governor is accused of engaging in nepotism and abusing her power when she tried to have her daughter certified as a state real estate appraiser through the Department of Labor and Regulation in 2020 after her application was denied because she hadn’t completed the required training. She is also accused of using taxpayer money to fly state-owned airplanes to political events.
All three of the board’s retired judges voted unanimously to deny Noem’s motions to dismiss the complaints then granted a 60-day extension to the investigation so they could consider the merits of the complaints.
The decision comes two months after the Government Audit and Operations Committee, a GOP-controlled, 10-member panel of state lawmakers, unanimously determined Noem acted inappropriately. (That’s right, folx. Even Noem’s most loyal Republican colleagues think she messed up.)
Throughout this whole ordeal, Noem, who is currently running for reelection and is also rumored to be considering a 2024 bid for president or vice president should Donald Trump choose to run again, has denied any wrongdoing.

Late last month, she flew to Washington, D.C. to speak at Young America’s Foundation National Conservative Student Conference, where she said she doesn’t support codifying same-sex marriage into law.
“I think there’s a diversity of opinions within the GOP, and within the Republican Party, on how people would land on that type of an issue,” Noem told the crowd, adding that she’s “never supported gay marriage” and that “a lot of my faith has to do with that.”
She made similar remarks in early July, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v Wade, when she told CNN’s Dana Bash the “debate” over same-sex marriage is one “we will continue to have.”

Quickly glancing over the title of the article, I assume the bad news is that her husband and kids are all gay or queer in someway? ooo let me be right!

These republican women give off such a bad (nasty/toxic/bitchy/religious/bossy/bully) vibe. I hope they know how truely ugly they are. Does anyone here save for Mario think they are happy people?

Oh, I forgot to mention the flailing, floundering Log Cabin Crew….this woman must be their poster child.

“A lot of (her) faith has to do with” gay marriage? That’s what her faith is centered around?
Yikes

If she were really smart, she’d change the name to Noel, you know, to be closer to the baby jesus, who was also a bisexual but don’t tell her that her head would explode.
Mister P
Notice how she says “her faith doesn’t support gay marriage”
So no one should support it because she doesn’t?

What happens if I start believing she owes me $10 every time she says something stupid? Does my faith trump hers, and more importantly, how many weeks would it take for me to become a millionaire?

My faith doesn’t support her hatred. So can we just cancel her like she’s trying to cancel LGBTQ people?

Sounds like all she does is “talk” about things… what a mess of a person,
GrizzleyMichael
In other words she would let her daughter have her rapist baby. Probably not, she would drive her daughter to the nearest abortion clinic. It’s only people who aren’t in her pathetic family that should have rapist’s babies but not her’s

Not “let,” FORCE. These fanatics want to force women and girls to give birth to children produced by rape or incest. They should be known as as anti-women and pro forced-birth!

I wonder is that how Republicans reproduce?

She is a loser in every sense of the word.

She runs South Dakota a literal desert with the total population less than Rhode Island. Once global warming hits her state they will be talking about water rations and heat waves with no time for talking gay marriage.

That speration of church and state sounds like it’s closing up. That one’s religion is the rule and that we should all be that religion. So Americans should be one religion and one only. Anything else we the lepers need to take our place on reject island. I’m truely sick of these ugly sacks.

Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, a staunch Trump ally, described the F.B.I. raid on Mar-a-Lago as an “unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department” in a post on Twitter. “Using the criminal justice system in this manner is un-American,” she wrote.
