Retraction – September 18, 2023: The Western Journal has retracted this article after concluding that its sourcing was not strong enough to justify airing this particular set of allegations.
Asked about the reports, a Noem spokesman directed inquires to a statement given to DailyMail.com, which read in part: “This is so predictable that you would attack Governor Noem less than a week after she endorsed Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. As Governor Noem said during that endorsement speech: ‘Yes, I will be attacked for speaking the truth to all of you tonight. Yes, I expect Joe Biden, these candidates, their political operatives, and the media will perpetuate ugly, hateful misinformation in an attempt to destroy me and my family because of my opinions. It’s nothing new. I’m getting used to it, honestly.’”
