“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.
I just don’t get how evangelicals can support people like this. Once upon a time, it was career suicide if a republican politician wasn’t seen going to church on Sundays. Now they get kicked out of theaters for groping their date, cheat on their spouse with a porn star, get caught in lies almost daily, and the Christian right says god chose them to run the country.

I think it’s most important for the candidate to hate the same things they hate.
