Yesterday, National Review’s Luther Ray Abel raised the alarm about South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, most recently in the news for asking Americans to stare uncomfortably deeply into her gaping maw. (She may have been paid to do this, nobody is quite sure, and that says something right there.) Noem is a politician who — like Lauren Boebert, out in whatever district she’s now claiming to represent in Colorado — began hoisting red flags to keen-eyed observers years ago.
And now? Look, I’ve never been a betting man, but the possibility that she has an unregistered abattoir on her property has increased significantly. In her upcoming, second political memoir, No Going Back — sometimes you just gotta give the people more of what they’re crying out for — Noem reveals that, aside from being the South Dakota governor most remembered in her state for turning tail and backing down when it came time to sign a bill preventing transgender men from competing against women in high-school and collegiate sports (she later reconsidered), she’s also a cold-eyed crack shot when slaughtering poorly behaved, defenseless pets.
