How to explain Gov. Kristi Noem's odd political ties to men with ugly accusations and records of ass

How to explain Gov. Kristi Noem’s odd political ties to men with ugly accusations and records of assaults upon women?


Gov. Kristi Noem is the first female governor in South Dakota history, taking office in 2019, the centennial year of women gaining the right to vote in our state.

Noem is a strong person, personally and politically. She rides motorcycles and horses, shoots guns, raises bison. She first ran for office in 2006 and has never lost an election, a remarkable run of success almost unmatched in South Dakota history.

So why does she keep associating with such deplorable men, with track records of abusive behavior against women?

The latest example is Nebraska Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster, who faces multiple accusations of assaulting women and making unwanted advances.

They are hateful disrespectful people. They don’t care about bad behavior. Power is all that matters.

Of course, Republican "base" will think that collaborating in criminal acts for Trump is a mark in this guy's favor. Sigh.

You saved me. People were giving me the "hairy eyeball" because I couldn't find anything about it.

I've kept all the links this time😁
