In New Interview(s), Noem Won't Admit She Lied About Kim Jong Un Meeting

Gov. Kristi Noem refused to give a straight answer to a simple question when CBS Mornings, anchor Natalie Morales tried to get to the bottom of her flimsy claim as a Congresswoman she met with Kim Jong-Un that appeared in her new book.

Let's talk first, but we don't want to talk about a lot of topics that you address in the book, but the book is called No Going Back, but it sounds like the publisher Center Street is going back on a couple of the details in the book.

I don't believe so.

WTF? What doesn't she believe?

Morales: Specifically when you write in the book, I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. 'I'm sure he underestimated me.' That, as I understand, is now being removed from the book at your request.

Noem: Yes, when I became aware of that, we changed the content and the future editions will be adjusted. And, you know, I appreciate that. I've met with many, many world leaders. I've traveled around the world. I should not have put that anecdote in the book, and at my request, they have removed it.

Q: That specific meeting didn't happen?

Noem: I'm saying that I'm not talking about that meeting. I'm not talking about my meetings with world leaders.

Q: But you do talk about meetings with world leaders.

Noem: There are some that are in the book, and then there's some that's not in the book.
