South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is sparking more confusion and mockery after she posted what has been described as another “infomercial.”
On Thursday, she shared an ad for the a custom insole company, Fit My Feet, that made her insoles for running and cowboy boots.
She then encouraged people to visit them in their stores.

The decision by the governor to tout a company seemed on to several commentators on X:

Would the South Dakota legislature please raise the governor’s salary to spare us all this embarrassment? https://t.co/LcBo1fDDEf

What is going on? She posted what was basically an ad for a dentist a few days ago and now she's hocking insoles? https://t.co/7csR2s6IwZ

I can’t tell if this is yet another post in exchange for a gift or if she’s responding to the criticism of her veneers post by promoting a South Dakota business?! https://t.co/B6CSEmSfoU

The video comes after Noem released a polished roughly five minute video touting a dental company, Smile Texas.
