The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, headquartered in North Dakota but with reservation borders expanding into South Dakota, is the third tribal nation to ban Gov. Kristi Noem from tribal lands this year.

The Wednesday announcement comes after the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council voted to banish Noem for “racially charged” comments she made last month at two town halls alleging some tribal leaders are “personally benefitting” from Mexican drug cartel activity on reservations.

“Governor Kristi Noem’s wild and irresponsible attempt to connect tribal leaders and parents with Mexican drug cartels is a sad reflection of her fear-based politics that do nothing to bring people together to solve problems,” said Tribal Chairwoman Janet Alkire in a news release. “Rather than make uninformed and unsubstantiated claims, Noem should work with tribal leaders to increase funding and resources for tribal law enforcement and education.”

Five tribes have demanded an apology from Noem since then. She has not issued an apology, but has issued press releases calling on tribes to “banish the cartels.”

2. Look for Noem....

to retaliate in some fashion. Trumpublicans don't even attempt to work with anyone since Mango Mussolini took over the Trumpublican party. His mantra has been retaliate, punish, if his egotistical demands aren't met.

8. Three cheers for them, Noem is toxic

She's a walking pile of Republican dog shit, one of the worst. I'm not surprised she slandered them, blaming the victims of much of the drug trade in the area. That's what piles of Republican dog shit do.

Let's hope there are a few cities and towns who refuse to allow her to campaign there.

And all Republicans speak with a forked tongue.
Native Americans know that that's why I don't know one that's a Republican.
