Tuesday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) discussed her thoughts on why she has been targeted by the media, which she attributed to an impulse from the media and her political opponents to “control people.”
“I really think it’s about control,” she said to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “They have used for the last year fear to control people. And in South Dakota, we just took a very different path. We knew the science told us we couldn’t stop the virus. We could slow it down and protect people who might be vulnerable and make sure we had enough hospital capacity to take care of those who would need it. But that we were going to do it together and allow people to be flexible to take care of their families and still put food on the table.”
