A French official said there is no record of a scheduled meeting with the South Dakota governor – nor had they invited her

The French government has joined the chorus of detractors taking aim at South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s political autobiography No Going Back, which many now see as having eliminated her chances of being Donald Trump’s vice-presidential selection.

Days after Noem removed a passage claiming she had met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, officials at the Élysée Palace in Paris are questioning a passage that describes a cancelled meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron.

    There are almost 20 cities in the United States with more residents than all of North Dakota. I don’t know how she got so huge in her own mind. It would be far more believable that the mayor of New York or La would be hobnobbing with world leaders, than the governor of South Dakota.

      The fact that you mixed up the Dakotas in your comparison to cities really emphasizes your point

        It’d still be true if you just used both.

      The answer: an enormous fragile ego.
