I'm ok that they show their true colors. Let's hope that the majority of Americans in her district have higher moral values and vote her awful ass out.
- I think it’s more likely that they’ll vote her out cause they want power…
Yes we all know you're a psychopath
She looks like a dog killer.
Is this the same Kristi Noem who claimed that she met Kim Jong Un when she really didn't?
- Pretending is for me, not for thee.
How are those veneers and plastic surgery treating you?
This bitch.

Depending on who you are it can be a good idea. Like, if you're the sort who kills your dog, for example...
"Being yourself" is only a good thing if you're a good person.
Someone never learned to stop digging.
Albeit her statement is quite correct and true, one can simply watch her own interview and see how she comes off as a complete hypocrite. Watch the part where they asked her why her book has a passage where she met North Korea's Dictator. How? When?
Either, her book was ghost written --likely-- and the writer fucked up, writing North Korea instead of say, North Dakota and now she has to cover that shit up OR she actually wrote the book herself and outright lied with somwthing so removed and ridiculous that it defies reason and now she has to cover for it. Either way, she looks terrible. Woman should not be near any position of power.
- She herself read the book aloud for an audiobook. She read aloud the story of her meeting Kim Jung un and didn't stop to think "I've never done that"
  No. Instead, this "tell it like it is" type left the lie in place. It's not exactly something to mis-remember. There's no excuse, she never met the guy. She wanted people yo think she met him. So she lied. Simple as that.
  Yet SOMEHOW in her mind it's all the democrat and media's failing. Not hers. Hmmm
This 2 dimensional bitch is doubling down by saying she would kill Biden’s dog too
I mean, if the dog was being fed and chose to kill other animals like chickens for fun, I think its reasonable to kill the dog.
Same for humans. If a human has easy access to plant based food and they choose to kill chickens, well, they should receive the same fate.
