Potential 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Kristi Noem defended South Dakota's record on the coronavirus and railed against lockdowns in a speech at CPAC on Saturday

Noem is staking herself firmly to the staunch pro-Trump lane among potential 2024 GOP contenders, many of whom have spoken at CPAC. She isin March at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a fundraiser for her reelection bid and the first fundraising event of this cycle hosted by Donald Trump Jr.

“I don't know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot,” Noem said to raucous applause. She also called media coverage of her state's coronavirus response "a lie," while bashing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who has come under fire for his nursing home policies. “To attempt to cancel the founding generation is an attempt to cancel our own freedoms,” Noem said. “Let’s always remember America is good. Freedom is better than tyranny. We are unique, we are exceptional, and no American should ever, ever apologize for that.”

Again the media is trying to anoint the Republican field of candidates. Is the fix in already, did the donor class make its choice yet?

Low efficiency and greedy American medical system will destroy America!

Saw her on some Sunday morning show mouthing the same words. She also had significant trouble answering direct questions.

Ok, just because 172,000 people from South Dakota voted for her does not make her a 'national' candidate!

Let's just say if I had a choice between living in South Dakota or New York last year, I would go with South Dakota. Of course, that is true every year too.

SERIOUSLY!Are we going to be subjected to 4yrs. of campaigning.We suffered through 1+ yrs.& were forced to endure 4yrs of trump.Can we concentrate on NOW & the good that is being done by JOE?My God media.Get a life & write about something positive for a change.We deserve a rest.

The GOP in general are all acting like Atilla the Hun, bent on destroying anyone who doesn't agree with their position.

is corey lewandowski still backing a kristi noem magadential run in 2024?

Most cities have more citizens than her whole state , so I’m thinking it was “ Easy peezy lemon squeezy.”

The governor should have spent a few weeks working in hospitals that were slammed with patients trying to breath.

So is she trying to be the “thinking person’s” Sarah Palin?

Great speach talking about america, freedom, dignity.

Unsurprisingly, Kristi Noem misrepresented her state's COVID numbers. As a percentage of population (per 100K people), South Dakota is second worst in the US in overall cases and 8th worst in deaths. That's nothing to be applauded for.

RIP 😱

If the QOP is backing 'the former guy', then how can anyone else become a 2024 presidential hopeful? Isn't that like pulling the rug out while he's still standing on it? I just don't get how you can have it both ways.

She killed 10% of the elderly in nursing homes across the state. 1 in every 462 South Dakotans have died from covid. She is a Trump wannabe, but she might be even worse.

Watch the idiot on CPAC..

All the 'conservative' women dress in the same painted on dress, with the same stilettos, with the same styled hair extensions, same botox and lip fillers, snd same make-up. All saying the same thing. It's like going to the Barbie section at Target.

Because either Dakotas have the pulse of most Americans Ahhhh, NO

Does anyone actually live in South Dakota?

So has decided to “normalize” the bizarre group of dangerous propagandists, liars, and racists of the far right by gladly highlighting them with zero context or background. govkristinoem has zero qualifications to run for President. Her egomania is undeserved.

It’s either that or admit her criminal negligence caused unnecessary deaths.

This chick is horrible! 🤦🏾‍♀️

She’s consistent. When half SD’s cases of the Coronavirus were in one SiouxFalls meat packing plant, she refused to shut it down. How obtuse can one be? KristiNoem GovKristiNoem

Hoping the voters who remain alive want to support her. SD is 49 on COVID tests/million and number 8 for highest COVID deaths/million. Literally killing it Kristi.

REAL AMERICANS DONT WANT TRUMP 2.0 nazis were destoryed by ture american heros and these demonic sinners worship them like gods. These satan worshipers will all burn in hell one day and i wish we could their expression when they go down staris pricelss i bet.

How many died from Covid on her watch ?

That should go over big with the 1,879 South Dakotans who have died from the virus to date. Too bad they can't vote for him. But then with Repugnicans you never know.

KristiNoem South Dakota is top ten in deaths per capita! Rock on

Noem slams pandemic shutdowns & social distancing guidelines, defends Covid-19 virus in the wake of 'liberal cancel culture'.

Is she native American?

Noem fricking way!

She allowed all the anti-mask tourists to come into South Dakota and the results after last Summer speak of it. Things have died down in the Winter, but infections are starting to rise again and soon tourists will too.

nearly 2000 dead ini a state with the same population as San Francisco, about 400 dead.

She should run, before the lawsuits come against her from the survivors of her negligence.

Stupid is as stupid does.

LoL. That nonsense works fine in SD. National election? Won't work. When you get national, that's with the big kids.

South Dakota has one of the highest death rates per capita despite low population density. Noem should be removed from office

And you support her?

Well theres like 12 people in her state Her states a desolate, shithole, wasteland Nobody goes there, and nobody leaves, so she may have a point

Thank goodness for Republican lawmakers for giving us the freedom to make choices for ourselves, forsaking the lives of the vulnerable for the good of free choice! Let the weak look after themselves!!

She’s a total failure in SD

Unite the Dakotas! It makes sense, it’s time, and you know it’s Right. One state, One Dakota, Still Too Many Senators! Unite Dakota Now!

She should defend her record against marijuana prohibition

JoeBiden : Says illegal immigrants should get vaccine without ICE targeting them B4 Americans get vaccines & said he plans 2 make sure illegals have food while Americans R going 2 food banks! His $1.9 trill Covid relief bill increases funding 4 nutrition assistance 4 illegals.

I’m wondering if she’s going to be Sarah Palin 2.0. Or 3.0 or 4.0 after Boebert and MTGreene 🤔🥴

Someone tell the Gov.

No wonder South Dakota is hit so badly during the pandemia era. Kristi Noem has no idea how deadly the covid-19 virus is. KristiNoem gop CPAC SouthDakota

Huh...she talked about her record of worst % of Covid rate in the nation? Odd. Did she mention spending her constituents tax dollars on her fun flights all over the US...and did she bring her husband along...or was this another romp with Benito tRumpalini?

Thanks. We already knew she was an idiot.

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. —Galileo Galilei. The R-friends on the other side of the isle are viciously political & have no interests in any discoveries! Gov. Kristi Noem is one of them!!

Claiming a sitting Governor, 'railed' is not unbiased objective news reporting. It's word play to make your opinions show through your reporting.

LOL, killing her state one person at a time

This from the governor of a state who encouraged Sturgis gathering, a major super spreader Coronavirus event last summer and in effect exposed the midwest to death.

520000 Americans dead is not enough for these mask less scumbags I wish they get the most aggressive of the variants Ameen ! 🙄

Doesn't South Dakota have the highest Trump Virus death rates?

Ignorant

A death rate from COVID 50% higher than Texas, and I didn't think we were doing a particularly good job. Well, she's delusional, so that's good enough for the GOP primary.

lol dingbat

'Potential 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Kristi Noem '. Hahahah. That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Whoa this news to me. She will definitely be considered a vp slot if Trump runs again since Pence is still pretty mad about...you know. And Haley turned on him as well. He’s gonna need a non crazy (Greene or boebert), non dc (Blackburn) woman governor. Oh god.

This is a stupid ass tweet. Sturgis infected the Midwest and 1 in 500 SD have died.

She sucks ass.

Did she mention her AG?

Isn't her state now called Covid Dakota?

lmao thinking she will be president.

May if the State had a density of 1 person per square mile.
