Kristi Noem Admits She Never Met Kim Jong Un Despite Book Claim
Kristi Noem‘s book’s landed her in hot water again … this time resulting from a factual error claiming she met Kim Jong Un — even though the meet never happened.
The South Dakota Governor went on CBS’ “Face The Nation” Sunday morning to talk politics and her upcoming autobiography ‘No Going Back’ … and, the show’s host Margaret Brennan brought up a passage where Noem wrote she met the North Korean dictator.
After writing in her book that she met Kim Jong Un, Kristi Noem was asked if it really happened.
Noem: “I’ve met with many world leaders…I’m not going to talk about specific meetings with world leaders. I’m just not going to do that.”🤡

Check out the clip … Noem says the passage’s being taken out of the book — which doesn’t come out until Tuesday FWIW — after the passage was brought to her attention. Basically, arguing she had no idea the story got in there.
When pressed on the issue KN — who at one time was a frontrunner to be former President Donald Trump‘s running mate — touts meeting with other foreign leaders … but, ultimately says she made a mistake and the publisher’s rectifying it.
BTW … lots of people on Twitter are roasting Governor Noem over the clip — saying this latest gaffe may knock her out of the race to be Veep, especially after she revealed she shot and killed a dog in the book too.
ICYMI … Noem writes a story in the book where she took a dog that attacked some chickens and snapped at her to a gravel pit and shot it to death — a revelation many people on social media called her out for.
The governor defended herself at the time … saying animals die on farms all time — so, it’s to be expected. As you might imagine, that did little to placate animal lovers.
.@KristiNoem on the controversial story she shared in her new book about killing her 14-month-old dog Cricket, which she calls “a dangerous animal”:
“The reason that this story is in the book — because people need to understand who I am and some of those difficult decisions.” pic.twitter.com/LrrSIFdj2W

BTW … she also addressed the dog story on ‘FTN’ — saying she included it in the book to show people she’s willing to make tough decisions.
Either way … this book’s causing Noem PR nightmares — and, we’ll have to see if she’s still offered Trump’s coveted veep spot.
