- South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s forthcoming book incorrectly said she had met with Kim Jong Un.
- After the passage leaked before publication, she said she asked the book’s publisher remove it.
- She did her own narration for the audiobook. Why didn’t she catch the error then?
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem may have been caught fibbing.
The rising Republican politician claimed last week she ordered changes to her soon-to-be-released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” after learning it falsely said she met with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.
“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, I’m sure he underestimated me having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants. I’ve been a children’s pastor after all,” Noem wrote in her book about an interaction with the North Korean leader that never happened, as Politico reported last week.
