Gov. Kristi Noem Stirs Controversy with Claims on Texas’ Historical Role in U.S. Constitution
In a statement that’s raising eyebrows across the nation, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem made a bold claim about Texas’ role in the formation of the United States Constitution. Speaking from Eagle Pass, Texas, a location often highlighted by Republicans as a hotspot in the southern border crisis, Noem ventured into the complex terrain of American history and constitutional law.
During an appearance on Fox News‘ “The Story”, with guest host Trace Gallagher, Noem addressed a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision. This ruling allowed federal agents to dismantle the razor wire installed by Texas along the border, a contentious point between state and federal authorities. In the course of this discussion, Noem made a striking claim: she suggested that Texas was one of the signatories of a foundational U.S. document – a claim that left historians puzzled, given that Texas didn’t join the Union until 1845.
