South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem getting $400,000 security fence around home to protect her
This woman is a piece of crap.

South Dakota officials said Wednesday they plan to build a security fence budgeted for $400,000 around the official governor's residence to protect Governor Kristi Noem. Noem's office did not give specifics on any threats, but her spokeswoman Maggie Seidel said her security team recommended the fence.
The South Dakota Republican has championed a hands-off approach to managing the coronavirus crisis. She also raised her national political profile in the past year, including tying herself more closely to President Donald Trump, who spoke at Mount Rushmore on the eve of Independence Day this year. Seidel said that Noem's handling of the pandemic had put her at odds with some people.
"More South Dakotans have died from accidental injuries than from #COVID19 in the past 5 months," she tweeted this week.
But in the last two weeks, South Dakota has recorded an increase in the percent of virus tests coming back positive -- and former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb warned that the virus has "become so pervasive across the country that it could start to infect more rural communities that have largely been untouched to date."
