Kristi Noem

My message to Texas is, help is on the way.

We want our honest history, our real history, our patriotic history to be taught to our kids.

And I was shocked by how much doesn’t go into infrastructure. It goes into research and development, it goes into housing and pipes and different initiatives, green energy. And it really is not an honest conversation we’re having.

Every single family will pay the price for what Joe Biden`s agenda is. He will drive up the cost of the food and their grocery bill.

I couldn’t support the bill in good conscience because vaccinations save lives.

I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.

Noem has found herself under scrutiny over her other acts of supplication to the MAGA cult leader and his minions.

But only after taking his lead and leaving social distancing and masks optional despite the virus because freedom!

Hyperbole and dramatic overstatement is not conducive to addressing COVID-19.

I think all reasonable people should be able to acknowledge that they are not zero steps.

Zero steps had been taken by South Dakota to address COVID-19, and that is simply not the case.

Let me tell you, my people are happy. They're happy because they're free. The governor in Nebraska, Pete Ricketts, Kim Reynolds in Iowa and I have been making decisions to protect our people and let them use personal responsibility to…

Together we've done a good job.

Let me tell you, my people are happy. They're happy because they're free.

You may choose to wear a mask and be concerned about the virus. And if people are scared, I'm going to remind them they should stay home. But if people choose not to, we still should treat them with respect and understand that they're…

I don't want to approach a policy or a mandate just looking to make people feel good. I want to do good.

If folks want to wear a mask, they should be free to do so. Similarly, those who don't want to wear a mask shouldn't be shamed into wearing one and government should not mandate it.

Those who don't want to wear a mask shouldn't be shamed into wearing one, and government shouldn't mandate it. We need to respect each other's decisions.

Come visit South Dakota, our COVID new infection rates are quadruple the rest of the country and our country's the worst in the world and we don't wear masks.

We've had several big events in South Dakota already. We had the first spectator attended a professional sport. The professional bull riding was held in South Dakota. We had the July 3rd event and saw no increase in cases because of that…

I would encourage you to keep agriculture in the forefront of your consideration...

I would really like to know whether or not there is a lot of time being spent by the Administration...

What concerns them is what appears to be a lack of concern on your part about what these measures--how they could impact the ag economy.

But I want to point to an example which proves that my constituents aren't just scared of theories.
