Gov. Kristi Noem's Book Falsely Claims Meeting Kim Jong Un, Controversy Ensues
May 3, 2024, 03:08 PM
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has come under scrutiny for claims made in her forthcoming memoir, where she alleges she met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un during her time as a back-bencher in Congress. These claims have been widely disputed by Hill staffers, North Korea experts, and her own spokesperson. A dozen congressional staffers and experts have found no record of such a meeting, which would have been significant if it had occurred. Noem's spokesperson later acknowledged that the story was false, correcting that Noem never 'starred him down' as claimed. Critics have labeled Noem a fantasist for these assertions. The publisher will address these errors in the book before its release.
