Kristi Noem - CPAC 2021
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem shares at CPAC 2021 lessons from her state and to argue for the need for conservatives in the United States. Noem proudly states that South Dakota was the only state to not order a shutdown of businesses because she believes that the government does not have the authority to deem what work is essential or not. Noem turned her attention to hospital rates. She examined the science and data determined a balanced approach was the best approach. Noem was concerned with her people and did not want to force them out of their livelihoods and prevent them from providing for their families. The pandemic put the great and growing chasm between parties on full display. The chasm has passed beyond Democrat and Republican into tyranny and liberty. Noem is inspired by her hard-working father to stand for the cause of freedom and fight for the people of South Dakota.
