Noem brags in her new book about her experience 'staring down little tyrants' in a meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Her spokesperson called it an error.

“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.

    How can I move the goalposts, when I’m not playing the game. I stated, “perhaps, I’m wrong.” 😑

    Edit: There’s a reason newspapers, magazines and cable news networks don’t mention that capitalism is the cause of homelessness, wealth inequality, healthcare debt, etc. That’s a big no-no, and can cause funding to be removed and flak from management. The system censors and filters criticism of itself.

    Also: I’m definitely wrong.
