“In the fake news media, there are two sets of rules, and conservative[s] are always treated differently,” she continued.
Well, she's right about that much, but not in the way she thinks.
Honestly, the fact that sociopathic whack jobs like Noem are even given the time of day by the media shows how beholden they are to conservative interests.
Here's a hot take, maybe don't constantly spew raw bullshit?
You mean you want her to stop being a Republican?
What I really want is for her to go the fuck away. Fuck off to Russia or something...
And take the rest of the GOP with her!
But how are they going to help Russia if they are in Russia?

It is so bad 🤣.
These books are how the GOP launders money right? Is that why she refuses to retract it?
It is so bad 🤣.
Oh man, it was worse than I thought it would have been.
She was asked multiple straight-up "yes or no" questions, and would dance around or try completely change the subject. When the interviewer called her on it, she'd spout nearly the same talking points again, and sometimes even a third time. If she was complaining about being interrupted its because, several times, she completely ignored the question being asked and simply went off into unrelated campaign style language. She was interrupted when the interviewer was pulling her back to answer the question being asked.
90% of the questions she was asked were about direct quotes from her book. She even said "I refused to discuss who I met with"....but she had no problem discussing those things in the book? So bizarre.
Her: "Why don't you ask Joe Biden about things he misspoke about?"
Interviewer: "I haven't gotten an interview with Joe Biden, but I will ask him when I do. I have an interview with you so I'm asking you about what you said."
Did she take too much Xanax before that interview? I only got a few minutes in but there was zero inflection in her voice even when they called her on her bullshit of claiming to have met Kim Jong Un.
I always thought sociopaths need to learn how to fake it well to operate in society. But I guess that requirement goes out fo the window when you replace society with GOP.
Can she see North Korea from her backyard?
Her publisher removed it from the book, and announced that, but it's always important not to be recorded admitting you were full of shit. This way, it's less efficient to use the soundbite against her. But HOLY SHIT that was awkward.
As for the books, it's basically a rite of passage in both parties for younger politicians with ambitions to put out a memoir/manifesto. It lays out how you want to be perceived and sort of announces, "I am a serious political figure." Sometimes it goes REALLLLLY badly.
"As soon as it was brought to my attention..."
"I've travelled the world and met with many world leaders..."
Even Skyrim NPCs have more varied responses than this.
Now they're laundering money via SPACs.
The publisher for Morning Joe Scarborough apparently launders GOP money and keeps Matt Gaetz in his old seat (FLA - 1). The dinosaurs are hoping their traditional media monopoly will drown out the counter arguments on the internet. This explains Sinclair media buyouts and that famous video of scripted joirnalism somewhat as well.
"People are not willing to have a hard conversation", skips any not-even-hard question.
Lol she sounds like a chinese trump knockoff, just rambling and repeating political talking points.
I mean you wrote the book lady. You could just lied and not said shit and later on when it came out that you did drive out to a gravel pit with the expressed purpose of shooting a puppy in the head...
THATS when you cry fake news.
Gonna bet she'll call it woke soon.
Apparently the new fake news is asking if what you wrote in your book was true.
She knows her supporters aren't exactly the literary types, I guess she thought nobody else would bother reading either.
She had to have thought someone would read it, otherwise she never would have told her version of the dog story.
“In the fake news media, there are two sets of rules, and conservative[s] are always treated differently,” she continued. “That’s why Americans don’t trust the Fake News.”
I'm a snowflake! I'm a snowflake! I'm a snowflake!
It was around 2019 that I realized that conservatives have a persecution complex. I thought I'd unlocked some secret truth. Nope. It's obvious to all of us who pay attention (I just hadn't been paying attention).
They also tend to have zero self awareness. Democrats aren't treated the same as Republicans because Republicans like Noem act much differently, evading questions and just incessantly blathering on.
The American Republican party is a gathering of the stupidest people in society and is lorded over by the sociopaths who have no issues manipulating that gaggle of morons.
They think their persecuted because Christian Conservatives act as though they are persecuted. In readings of the Bible it is said that the Christian will undergo long suffering for their beliefs. Since they are the oppressors and not the oppressed they fabricate the persecution. Then their political leaders emulate this behavior because it's common and acceptable to their indoctrinated followers.
Couldn't really imagine the GOP without the features of chiristianity. They should really just cut out the middle man and combine the church with the party. Nothing would change.
They definitely are treated differently. Unfortunately they are given preferential treatment by spineless media outlets and the largest broadcast network in the country is their propaganda mouthpiece. I fucking wish Americans didn't trust fake news.
It wasn’t that you didn’t pay attention, you had to develop a framework to understand it and that takes experience.
I enjoyed the /r/persecutionfetish sub over on Reddit before I jumped ship. Its definitely a thing and has been for quite a while.
Her only play at this point.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
No no no. That's a line from the novel 1984, which is a criticism of Communism. Kristi Noem hates Communism. How can the statement apply to her? She's literally always been at war with Eastasia.
That was so bad. She was like a robot at first and then got mad.
What was she like before trump?
A chucklefuck so chuckled that she was blocked from entering large portions of her state https://apnews.com/article/south-dakota-indian-reservation-bans-governor-noem-b55339eb624a119bc571c8b4dab848f4
She's always been fucking awful.
That doesn’t really answer the question lol. 2024 is not pre-Trump
She wasn’t much different, but her audience was smaller. She once ridiculed an opponent (this was quite a while back) about corn dogs.
This isn’t a joke.
Now THAT is the answer the commenter was looking for
A shithead who people avoided?
Wait did this lady really call her own interview "fake news"?!?? What the fucking hell is wrong with America...? How tf is it possible that such people get elected!?
We spent a lot of time and effort dismantling our education system while simultaneously suppressing wages such that most people are so stressed they can't think past "red/blue".
Why do people like her always have the same kind of eyes?
Because they all took the same photo of Melania to their plastic surgeon in the hopes of earning the favor of their political deity.
botox
There’s little of her face that is natural. She’s only missing the Karen haircut.
They wear colored contacts to make their eyes stand out and then get the “Melania Special” for the Botox.
She is a distraction. Ignore her.
