South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) refused to take responsibility in a CBS News interview for falsely claiming in her new book that she met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Said Noem: “As soon as it was brought to my attention, we went forward and have made some edits. So I’m glad that this book is being released in a couple days and that those edits will be in place.
”She added: “I’m saying that this book is very, very good. And I’ve met with many world leaders and there are world leaders that I’ve met with that are in this book and there are many that I’ve met with that are not in this book. This is an anecdote that I asked to have removed because I believe it’s appropriate at this point in time.”
