A governor on a Trump leash


We have some important news for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem: The Coronavirus is real (not a hoax) and has killed 173 South Dakotans on your watch. More than 15,000 have been infected. In Pennington County alone 1,617 cases have turned up causing 33 deaths.

Were any of these deaths necessary? All Gov. Noem had to do was to advise her health experts to put out some rules and regulations as recommended by doctors, not politicians. Instead Noem followed the absolutely juvenile and sick advice from her mentor Donald Trump, a man who called it a hoax and then said it would suddenly just disappear. Well Governor, it was not a hoax and it did not miraculously disappear. But in its wake it left more than 173 South Dakota families mourning the deaths of a father, mother, grandmother, aunt, uncle and even children. Did you, Gov. Noem, attend any of their funerals, funerals that were not necessary?

And then your Lord and Master in Washington decided that the sure cure for this pandemic was a drug already tested in Europe and found ineffective, you immediately ordered a respected medical group, Sanford Health, to start testing 2,000 South Dakota guinea pigs (probably Republican) to take part in a useless and costly trial that turned out to be a complete bust. We have a question: How much of state taxpayer’s money went into to subsidizing this pipe dream? How much were the guinea pigs and Sanford Health paid for this worthless experiment? Why did Sanford Health sell out to this political scheme?

And then, once again as was urged by your Great Leader, you started pushing for the colleges and schools to reopen in order to get the economy up and running. Duh? First of all the economy is NEVER going to get up and running until the covid-19 pandemic is over or at least brought under control. But rather than think of the South Dakota families that voted you into office, you chose to put their children at risk. Colleges and schools are already seeing the disasters caused by your haste.

It is high time for Governor Noem to remember that she is the governor of the people of South Dakota and not a puppy tied to a leash by the Orange man. Does she think he gives one wit about South Dakota?

Noem has become a total failure in her role as governor. She has put the men, women and children of South Dakota’s lives at stake in pursuit of genuflecting to the worst president this country has ever not elected. In the past it was easy to overlook her incompetency, even when she saw fit to hold a 4th of July Rally at Mount Rushmore during a high risk fire season and to allow thousands of people to attend that rally without face masks or other protections. This is the height of irresponsibility. The final straw for most of us was when she spoke at the Republican Convention and in the front of millions of Americans told some blatant lies. Have we ever had a governor lie to a national audience? Not in my lifetime, until now.

Kristi, your leader is now calling those military men and women who served “suckers.” We saw and heard the proof of this most terrible of accusations by a president ever uttered. So please do not continue to lie and cover up for this poor example of a human being. He can try to lie his way out of this until he is blue in the face, but we saw the tapes.
