South Dakota governor Kristy Noem is a role model for true leadership.
While governors and mayors across the country allowed journalists to bully them into taking away their constituents’ rights and destroying their states’ economy and future, one brave governor remained cool-headed and steadfast. She made strong recommendations, but did not order shutdowns, violate citizens’ civil liberties or send law enforcement after people for living their lives.
The media tried to destroy her. They predicted South Dakota would end up needing over 10,000 beds for Wuhan-Coronavirus patients. That never happened. Predictions are now that the state will need a total of 127 beds at the peak in about a month and South Dakota is now in better shape than most of the U.S.
Politicians everywhere should try to learn from Governor Noem’s example.
