I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.  

It doesn't bother me a bit. It was just unnecessary and foolish to not consider the repercussions. No doubt it also reflects on where we are as a country. That's why she needs to be better at "reading the room".  Save the story for your "after political career" biography.

Didn't think I'd get a response...

Not going to hurt her, she was a slim chance to be the VP pick anyway. She has doubled down on the story by telling about horses she recently had to put down...the horror! Apparently this bothers others more than it bothers her. The story reflects more on our sissified country than it does on Kristi Noem, imo.

I understand what you're saying, and I get it. But that's not literally outlawing free speech. Every American still has that right.
