South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem seems to live in an alternate reality
In a Sunday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas, Gov. Kristi Noem accused GOP governors of "rewriting history" after having instituted COVID-19 restrictions like lockdowns and mask mandates.
"We've got Republican governors across this country pretending they didn't shut down their states; that they didn't close their beaches; that they didn't mandate masks, that they didn't issue shelter-in-place orders," Noem said. "Now I'm not picking fights with Republican governors. All I'm saying is that we need leaders with grit. That their first instinct is to make the right decision. That they don't backtrack and then try to fool you into thinking they never made the wrong decision."

She later tweeted: "South Dakota did not do any mandates. We trusted our people, gave them all the information and told them that personal responsibility was the best answer."
Her comments are a possible shot at Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, two conservative Republican governors who imposed more COVID-19 restrictions - like regulations on businesses and mask mandates - than Noem.

Ah, there's nothing like the smell of killing off your constituents in the morning.
