South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said the media is "trying to destroy my children" after a report alleged she engaged in a conflict of interest following a meeting with the head of the state agency in charge of approving or denying her daughter's application to become a real estate appraiser.

The Associated Press reported that Kassidy Peters, 26, obtained her certification in November 2020, four months after her mother met with her, state labor Secretary Marcia Hultman, and the head of the state agency that oversees appraiser certifications, Sherry Bren.

The July 27, 2020 meeting took place days after the agency moved to deny Peters' application, the report said.

In a Monday tweet, Noem, a Republican, pushed back on the story and claimed the media was going after conservatives.

"Listen I get it. I signed up for this job. But now the media is trying to destroy my children," she wrote. "This story is just another example of the double standard that exists with the media... going after conservatives and their kids while ignoring Liberals #AskTheBigGuy."

Bren, 70, she was summoned to meet Noem and said she was presented with a letter from Peters' supervisor, Kristine Juelfs, who said she disagreed with the denial and that Peters – who began working as a state-registered appraiser in 2016 – ran up against an inefficient process.

"My upgrade to become a Certified Residential Appraiser was very lengthy and I was expected to navigate through many obstacles from the very beginning," Peters told the AP. "I’m glad I have it now and that I have the privilege to serve my clients in South Dakota."

Ian Fury, a spokesman for Noem, told Fox News the news report was part of an effort to attack the governor.

"The Associated Press is disparaging the Governor’s daughter in order to attack the Governor politically – no wonder Americans’ trust in the media is at an all-time low," Fury said in a statement. "South Dakota is open for business. We won’t allow bureaucratic red tape to get in the way of South Dakota’s sustained economic growth.

"Having more quality appraisers in the market will help keep our housing market moving and home prices down," he added.

As far as the meeting, Noem was engaged in a conflict of interest, Richard Painter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School and former chief ethics lawyer for former President George W. Bush, told the AP.

Months after the meeting, Hultman demanded Bren, 70, retire, according to an age discrimination complaint filed by Bren, which was later settled for $200,000.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Just days after a South Dakota agency moved to deny her daughter’s application to become a certified real estate appraiser, Gov. Kristi Noem summoned to her office the state employee who ran the agency, the woman’s direct supervisor and the state labor secretary.

Noem’s daughter attended too.


Interesting that Fox news didn't mention this little gem of information :-k

Hey, that's great! Do Hunter Biden now.

Hey, that's great! Do Hunter Biden now.

While I agree with Lost, I agree with you as well. The bigger point of the story is conservatives are under attack and Liberals get a pass from the media.

Yes, maybe, but I don't think it's as much of a pass as the right wing media would have you believe.

Uh, yeah it is.

C'mon homie... I read all news sources... Hunter Biden got a straight up pass...

The mother fucker was straight up photographed with a crack pipe in his mouth... Bet you didn't see that story on CNN.. :lol:

[lost in melb.]

Uh, yeah it is.

I've just provided you a couple of examples to the contrary.

Here is an honest and straightforward article about Noem from the left

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/02/us/politics/kristi-noem-south-dakota-republicans.html?searchResultPosition=6

And an article from the right suggesting that she's having an extramarital affair:

https://amgreatness.com/2021/09/28/kristi-noem-shows-why-republicans-cant-have-nice-things/

And the Biden/Afghanistan thing. Did msm give him a pass there

Now that Trump is out the way, my eyes are seeing a return to more balanced media. But that doesn't mean that when Trump fires up again for his 2024 coffer fill stop the steal burn America to a cinder campaign that msm, left wing media and indeed, the 4 "journals of record" aren't going to ignore all his deceit and manipulation.

Yes he probably did by the left media (but you will admit all that stuff was released just before the election for political assassination purposes??)

I won't link anymore articles now, but the Wall Street Journal was a hair breath from running a huge espose on the whole laptop thing in the emails. The reason they didn't do it is they simply wasn't the proof those emails came from that laptop. Unfortunately it was in crazy Giuliani's hands for too long. Even if the stuff was true, (which it well may have been) then they f*cked up. But that's just how it is...

CNN didn't have any proof that Trump wants to fuck his daughter, but they sure did some psychological profile pieces on how he did.. Versus Biden... With a crack pipe in his mouth.. It's not character assassination when there is proof... It's real, it's not speculative.

I completely concur. CNN ended up just being a pure hit job on Trump network.

It's not what I read though. I subscribe to the NYT (moderate left) and the Wall Street Journal (slightly right) for balance. They have their biases but they don't just make shit up.

Now Trump hated the NYJ, but note that didn't stop him from reading it obsessively every morning. I agree that they upped the ante a bit too much 2017 onwards, but there's this whole if a "say anything about negative about Trump they're an enemy of the state" kind of thing as well that also went too far.

Sorry to keep bringing up Trump, but let's face it, that's when the MSM started going off the rails.

No, they went off the rails when Obama got elected. He was The Chosen One and could do absolutely no wrong. And that's when the Republicans became absolutely evil instead of just the other side of the coin.

But I am the Chosen One :obama:

Republican Inquiry Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by Biden


This is the important bit:

"The homeland security panel’s Republican chairman, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, had made little secret of his political ambitions for his report, boasting for weeks that his findings would demonstrate Mr. Biden’s “unfitness for office.” Instead, the result delivered on Wednesday appeared to be little more than a rehashing six weeks before Election Day of unproven allegations that echo an active Russian disinformation campaign and have been pushed by Mr. Trump.

In the days before its release, Mr. Johnson conceded in an interview that there would be no “massive smoking guns,” saying that there was “a misconception on the part of the public that there would be.”

AND


"All 10 witnesses interviewed by investigators....had testified that neither Mr. Biden nor anyone else had altered American policy because of his son.

“Every witness stated that Hunter Biden and his associates had no role in the formulation of U.S. policy, that Hunter Biden’s role did not influence U.S. foreign policy decisions, and that Vice President Biden carried out U.S. foreign policy in the interest of the United States,”
