Kristi Noem Shows Why Republicans Cant Have Nice Things
Pedro Gonzalez · September 28, 2021
Exclusive: Sources reveal the South Dakota governor and potential 2024 VP candidate is having an extramarital affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
Multiple sources have informed American Greatness that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski, who previously served as a campaign manager for Donald Trump. The alleged fling reportedly has continued for months, sources say.
Lewandowski accompanied Noem across the country as she stumped for Trumps reelection last year. According to South Dakota Republicans, former Noem chief of staff Joshua Shields left, in part, because of Lewandowskis butting in. Lewandowski, who is married with four children, still has the former presidents ear, which he reportedly uses to Noems advantage.
American Greatness contacted Noems office for comment on Tuesday. No comment had been received at the time of publication.

Noem is also married with kids.
Conservatives now seem to be writing her off. I thought Trump proved marital fidelity doesnt matter
?

(146,254 posts)American Greatness? Never heard of them. Is it a trustworthy source?
Qutzupalotl
(14,285 posts)published by a Trump supporter, so no, I wouldnt call them a trustworthy source.
However, when they turn on their own, I take notice.
MineralMan
(146,254 posts)That is true whether you believe a particular story or not, or whether you like a particular story or not.
I'd like to see some corroboration of this, frankly. It could be a false flag story, designed to get us excited, only to be withdrawn later.
Noem is a creepy Governor. I would be surprised if she is boinking some adviser. However single-source stories from unreliable sources are iffy, at best. I wouldn't share this one. Hell, I would never have seen it in in the first place.
Look around, and see if you can find some sort of corroboration.
Qutzupalotl
(14,285 posts)They are promoting it on Twitter for reasons unknown, so take from that what you will. Im not saying I like it or believe it, but conservatives on Twitter are talking about it and I thought we ought to know.

There must be slim pickins among Republican men. I find Lewandowski repulsive but could the other Repub men be even more repulsive?

(4,572 posts)That apparently even Empty Suit Senator Thune thought Noem was completely worthless as a representative in the House. Her friend knows Thune and told her this a few years ago.
She's showing that she's all fluff and no substance. This doesn't surprise me, especially with the rest of the information about her pressuring a state official to certify her daughter coming to light.

(11,722 posts)Remember, sexism and misogyny are still staples of conservative thought.
While liberals tend to see having an extramarital affair as a "character" issue (I mean, you are breaking a promise of fidelity and trust to your partner), we can also see that humans are fallible and sometimes weak in the face of temptation. If one of our politicians has an affair, are honest about it, and it doesn't affect how they do their job (aka Bill Clinton), while we do not approve of his actions, we can move on. It is the hypocrisy that we can't tolerate (aka John Edwards).
Conservatives have no real standards (except the fore mentioned, "if you are conservative, White and a Man, then it is okay" . They moralize about "family values" and actually try to disrupt the lives of other people to push their stupid ideas of social control, harming adults (and children) who are just trying to live their authentic lives.
I have maintained that conservatives legislate both for social control of the "unwashed masses" but also out of a sense of trying to control something inside themselves that cannot, a projection if you will. For example, Larry Craig, a staunch opponent of LGBTQ rights, an ultra conservative, gets caught trying to solicit gay sex in a bathroom. To me, whatever two (or more) consenting adults want to do is their business. You want to have sex with people you meet in an airport bathroom? Gay? Straight? Bi? Fine! That is your life. Be safe, don't hurt anyone. If you are married and want to do that, tell your spouse. Be honest. Don't pass laws based on your projection of your own hang ups to others. Same for all the conservative idiots who oppose abortion, yet try to force their mistresses to GET AN ABORTION. It should be an option for ANYONE who finds themselves in a pregnancy they do not want to carry to term. That's it, mistake, not the right time, health issues, victims of crime, etc... should be able to decide that they do not want to be forced to carry and give birth in an unwanted pregnancy. I digress.
Noem is scum. Lewandowski is scum. Not because they had an affair. That happens, as much as I am personally opposed. They are scum because of their views and how they conduct themselves. They are scum because of the policies they support and who they choose to associate with (Trump).

(3,245 posts)Former Trump aide Corey Lewandowski accused of making unwanted, 'vile and disgusting' sexual advances
Corey Lewandowski, a longtime political aide to former President Donald Trump, is accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a Republican donor, Politico reported Wednesday.
Trashelle Odom, the wife of Idaho construction executive John Odom, told Politico that Lewandowski approached her at a charity dinner in Las Vegas and made repeated advances, including touching her legs and buttocks, over the course of the evening. Four people who attended the event corroborated Odoms account.
On the evening of September 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada, I attended a dinner to support a charity and spend time with wonderful friends, Odom told Politico in a statement. He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me and made me feel violated and fearful.
