'Staring down little tyrants': Kristi Noem's book includes false anecdote about Kim Jong Un - eviltoast

“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,” she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. “I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”

But Noem’s spokesperson seemed to confirm to Politico and other news outlets that the story is not accurate and that the book will be corrected to remove it.

She sounds like the perfect Trump VP candidate: she just says whatever she thinks people will eat up and doesn’t worry about whether it’s true or not.

    She’s one of those non people. What I mean by that is that there isn’t a personality in her so much as just naked ambition and want which leads to doing and saying anything to “get ahead”. Do that long enough and you lose yourself along the way. Too many lies, too many crazy actions. She’s the same as Santos. Black hole people.
