Governor Noem holds the local Associated Press reporter, Stephen Groves, feet to the fire demanding that he tell the truth in a recent press conference.
MUST SEE: I challenged @stephengroves on his manipulated reporting about South Dakota’s appraiser program. He had promised to report about what we’re doing to fix the program, but changed his mind because it wasn’t “newsworthy.”
Stephen, tell the truth. pic.twitter.com/tDAXIrjfqy

And not just minutes later, Governor Noem called out Groves even further on Twitter:
. @stephengroves is a dishonest reporter who cooks up stories, misleads readers on the background of his sources & refuses to report detailed documented facts given to him that don’t align w/ the agenda of his boss @DouglasGlass. Hey Groves have you ever answered this question? https://t.co/8d3KPHDhJp

There are more people reporting the same as Noem. The labor secretary on the other hand (1 person) has some other kind of thought process in her head. I’ll go with Kristi et al. Shame on Stephen Groves. He’s corrupt and dishonest. I won’t forget his name.
Who?
What specifically is he lying about
The Argus Leader is reporting that Noem was refusing to turn over documents regarding her daughter and the appraisal program what happened to transparency?
There needs to be an investigation on this and I think for both sides—- The governor is not helping herself with her actions it just looks more and more suspicious all the time—If she didn’t do anything wrong then why not handover the documents why not have a full interview where reporters can ask her the questions then you can release her daughters documents
She silenced Bren with a $200k payout.
Now she won’t release the documents that show the standards her daughter passed.
Groves should have included the guy was a dem Senate candidate.
She contradicted her own cabinet secretary regarding whether or not her daughter was discussed in the meeting.
Lots of concealing the facts going on by both.
GOAC, the accountability board or the AG need to clear the air. Or government will continue to not be trusted.
Bren was also given a letter by the daughter’s employer in the meeting.
To clear the air let Bren speak, give GOAC the transcripts, let’s move on.
Move on??
We need to move on to her impeachment….
Just having this meeting was meant to intimidate.
I would say everybody in that room should be fired but if you look at the list of who is actually there most of them have been fired. Clearly there were multiple conflicts of interest going on and we have multiple lawyers in the room and nobody said anything ?? It is clearly an abuse of power by the governor.
Maybe Gosch will bring articles against her? She could raise some money for president off of that.
Do not question, do not challenge, do not undermine, do not belittle, and do not get in the way of Governor Noem. How dare you assail the greatest Governor in the history of South Dakota. Either support Governor, or get out of her state. God Bless Kristi!
Methinks thou dost protest too much.
This is pretty pathetic. She always uses this tactic and which just digs a deeper hole. 200K lawsuit to prevent a payout remains. WHY?
Her actions were shady, she got caught, and she’d rather torch everything than own up to her own bad decision.
Real stellar example of good leadership from her.
She should kiss any Senate or national aspirations goodbye.
Nailed it.
GOP mantra: Never admit fault, never rescind, always be attacking and causing conflict.
But I thought Noem ran on transparency???? I don’t think she has benn transparent on anything.
There are not many things I disagree with Governor Noem about. In general, I like what she has done in this state. I am sure there are problems with the appraiser process that should be addressed. If she did bring in the head of the department with her daughter sitting there, that was a major mistake. I don’t know if it rises to the level of impeachment, but we have seen that apparently a misdemeanor driving violation could be a reason to impeach an official. Personally, I believe a conflict of interest violation is more grave than a driving violation. Perhaps as long as the legislature is meeting anyway they might want to consider this as well.
Ha! This is all about money, and political power.
No one wants to read about a republican governor, trying to fix a broken system, protecting the rights of citizens or basically doing the job. The truth is boring. With a boring story to read, there will be no ads, no sponsors and no income.
But write a blazing piece about conflict, scandal, abuse of power, add a dash of nepotism, sprinkle some quid pro quo, and sponsors will be lining up, wanting to pay to have their ad next to breaking news.
Of course MC hates the media. Lost his seat because media reported his racist bs.
Shut up and sit down dude.
