Kristi Noem Ditches Lewandowski After Two Bombshell Reports

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has cut ties with Corey Lewandowski, a day after angrily dismissing claims that she was having an affair with the former Trump adviser, who had also been advising Noem.

A spokesman for the governor, Ian Fury, told Politico: “Corey was always a volunteer, never paid a dime (campaign or official). He will not be advising the Governor in regard to the campaign or official office.”

The statement, claiming Lewandowski had “always” been a “volunteer,” appeared to downplay the role he served in advising Noem.

On Tuesday, a conservative news outlet called American Greatness published a bombshell report alleging that “multiple” unidentified sources had confirmed Noem has been having a monthslong affair with Lewandowski, who was former President Donald Trump’s first campaign manager.

Noem blasted what she called “rumors,” while affirming her commitment to her husband.

Maybe she did an audit and found out that he actually was having an affair with her.

He sure seemed to spend a lot of time around someone who was not paying him for his services. A right wing media outlet says there was a personal relationship there. If not working, maybe it was the relationship part that kept him coming back.

You have to be a special kind of incompetent if you need the Governor to intervene for that.
