We`ve got Republican governors across this country pretending they didn`t shut down their states, that they didn`t close their beaches, that they didn`t mandate masks, that they didn`t need to issue shelter in places. Now, I`m not picking fights with Republican governors. All I`m saying is that we need leaders with grit. Demand honesty from your leaders and make sure that every one of them is willing to make the tough decision. South Dakota did not do any of those. We didn`t mandate. We trusted our people. Issued and told them that personal responsibility was the best answer. What we did in South Dakota is what conservatives have always said they believed, we just did it. And we proved that it works. That it works for families, it works for businesses, and it works for this country. So, we will continue to make the tough decisions to make sure that we`re an example.
