South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is facing legal action after posting a 5-minute infomercial-style video online praising the dental work she received at Smile Texas, a Houston-area cosmetic dentistry firm. #CNN #News
It’s one of the reasons people like her think nothing of women having to travel out of state for healthcare when she can afford to travel out of state for cosmetic dental work, and apparently, get paid in the process. 🦷
At the beginning of the "ad" she started out identifying herself as "governor of South Dakota". That was the tell for me before I even knew what the issue was. Then with the other dentist "ad" she used her position email. Red flags were everywhere!
I absolutely agree. How about her turning down money earmarked for low income families so they can have free nutritional meals at school? Just to spite Biden and to own the libs.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem had to leave the state to get dental work because she couldn't get the same level of care in South Dakota? She really put down her own state!
@@MrKaraokeCowboyShe's a real peach, ain't she, Cowboy? You're not a very good judge of character, are you? This might help - when someone talks incessantly about their faith and family, but has cosmetic surgery, hair extensions, fake teeth, botox injections, has had a several year relationship with a man who was kicked off a campaign for manhandling a female aide although she has a devoted husband at home, gets so mad because a puppy ruins a hunt that she shoots a dog, a goat, and three horses, and lies about meeting with the most reclusive tyrant on Earth, they're a phony. Honestly, I've never seen any politician who uses the term "Real Americans" who wasn't an absolute loser. This might be a good time to ask yourself why you didn't see it, and what else you might be wrong about.
Are you kidding? You want reporters and public servants swayed by gifts? Judges? Our strength had been we don't allow it and now? Here is anything goes? So then also goes our freedom which Noem claims she is concerned about but maybe it is her freedom and her friends freedom? One party freedom?
Did she travel to Texas at tax payers expense or did she pay for it herself? There was no place in her home state that does that procedure??? What a betrayal of similar businesses in her own state.
Haha! Yes, I don't see any reason why some governor can't go to some state to seek medical care. I do wonder about political figures doing commercial endorsements, though. I respect politicians that create and implement policy. Speaking of teeth, George Washington ...
Governor Noem should probably just run for the Governor of Texas. She spends all her time about Texas and doesn't take care about her people in South Dakota. She definitely needs the smile to cover for all her BS!
@@chadhaire1711 Hopefully they change that residency law regarding the temp addresses at the RV parks before her rigged re-election. That'd be good news.
Right? How do these people even find each other? In different states! Did the dentist email random gop governors? Or did she approach random dentists and none in South Dakota would do it? I find it quite amazing...
@@johnwatson9518 Considering the right wing has devolved into nothing but Grifters, Trolls(you) and Useful Idiots...the comment the OP made couldn't be more right.
Let's not forget several million people in this country can not afford basic dental care for themselves and their families. Noam went for COSMETIC reasons.
I think if she got advice from Sarah not only would the tax payers be paying for her teeth but she would get a side vaca with some friends in Mexico before going home.
Knowing who she is, I wonder if she had South Dakota paid for her dental work? It wouldn't surprise me if the thousands of dollars that it would have cost her were really paid for by the state. Interesting that she went to Texas instead of going to someone in her state! They do have dentists in SD!
Getting involved with these kinds of Republicans seems always to backfire and now it is the country itself that is getting close to the edge of the forever cliff.
She certainly seems to be using your state's honor to elicit personal financial gain or favors. Ya know? I'd bet that's (ironically) impeachable. Hmmm...?
Well I think maybe shame on you and most of the people commenting here. An awful lot of speculating isn't it. I didn't hear anybody say that the taxpayers were paying for any of this. But I sure do see and read a whole lot of jealousy and petty comments
@@caroljeanscholl7370 who is speculating? This actually happened. There is proof that it happened. If there were some answers disseminated, there would be even more proof. If someone is hiding information, it's not because they're proud of what they've done. The Governor could easily dispel any notion of irregularity by releasing her own version of these events truthfully-unless she's hiding something intentionally?
@@charlie0871 Will you point me please then and the right direction where I can hear her say or somebody who has absolute definitive proof that you as taxpayers paid for it. Otherwise you're just on the bandwagon with the rest of the Ass u me'rs Don't people ever get tired of this?
Dear Sirs, I ask you to focus on what is happening in Gaza, one of the largest and most horrific terrorist crimes in history by racist Judaism and America, the killer of peoples
HIPAA violation to tell us if it is an advertisement that she got for free but she is posting a video telling everyone on the planet that she had the work done and the dentist is going to do an "in-depth" video about the procedure.
So if you want to buy a Porsche but the auto dealers in your town only sell Fords, Chevys, and Dodges, you shouldn't be able to go to another town to buy the car you want? After all, they sell cars in your town, so couldn't you simply buy a car IN YOUR TOWN?
1 - Is this important to Americans' daily lives ? 2 - Promote businesses in your home state. 3 - Most people can not pick up & go to another state for dental care; some can't pay for the 1st appt.❗️ 4 - tRUMP only cares about how you "LOOK"...next to him & keep quiet❗️p.s. Alina Habba said, "I'd rather be pretty than smart." That is the only requirement - 🤔 does Kristi Noem have a $70,000 bag for future photos ⁉️
Most vets in South Dakota have little experience with jackass teeth, cattle sure, even a few horses. But she wanted experience with her own type of mouth.
"Her teeth look great" I guess, if you like teeth that look like plastic. Also, HIPAA does not mean you can commit illegal actions with money related to political campaigns.
They will fire a State Employee for a lot less. The same ethics standards should apply to elected officials, with the very same Penalties , up to and including losing your job. This is why Adam Smith wrote The Rule Law.
I can’t stand her, but not every dentist is a cosmetic dentist, and not every cosmetic dentist is at the same level. There are multiple stages of training cosmetic dentists have to complete while raising their level to get to the top tier. And then there’s talent. If I spend that kind of money on my teeth I’d want the best too. Because the worst aren’t all that much cheaper and you’ll be stuck looking like a horse.
@@K3r0411 OK, but she is the elected Governor of the state of South Dakota. If she wants to go get surgeries in better places that’s totally fine. Why not? But to actively promote one at a place called TEXAS Smile… It’s very distasteful. I mean, does everything have to be on a grift? Pay for your surgery and go home. This is beyond tacky of a Governor. She is encouraging her constituents to go to Texas if they want good dental work. Again, fine if she does it on her own, but to PROMOTE another state like this is just strange, and wrong. She is in the wrong line of work. Doesn’t understand her role as Governor.
I'm confused on so many levels. Putting aside the whole "Why is a governor doing promos for a business"... Why the f*** are you in Texas getting dental work? Are all of the dentists in South Dakota really that sh|tty? So many questions.
I was in the US military for a number of years. When we go to trade shows, we were taught to not even hold any products when taking pictures with defense contractors, because we don't want to give people the impression that we endorse their products. This idea that she can just throw her weight around as the governor for some material gain almost smells criminal.
'Loads of influencers'? This woman is HIRED via the people of South Dakota AS AN EMPLOYEE to be the governor of their state TO DO A JOB. She's not HIRED in that position to be an 'influencer'
prove it since you "definitely" know ! ! ! I guess you was there huh? You had the inside scoop huh? You are so positive you would bet you and your kids souls on it? ? ? You have no facts except some fat skanks sitting around a table spewing shit at you, but you know it for a FACT huh? What IS a fact is that by seeing your pic on here, you can DEFINITELY use some work on yourself as well.
These people are nothing more than self-serving self-enriching FRAUDS disguised as someone other than that. It's disgusting. You can do better than this. Truly.
As a South Dakota resident I can't believe how the citizens here can't recognize a narcissist. What would a person expect as conduct when one of her first executive orders was to install a television studio in the State Capital building?
If you live in SD, specifically Sioux Falls you could not fathom how many dentists are here. It's unbelievable. Just as many casinos and dental offices.
Trump's taste is kitschy and shit, but I agree, he truly is bizarrely optics-driven. He tries to use "attractive" sidekicks as distraction, but it only makes contrasts more glaring and highlights his visceral fugliness.
I thought my country had strange politicians, but I was wrong. The United States has really strange politicians. Some make frightening speeches in a kitchen, others worship their dentist and worst of all there are people in this country who want to elect a rapist president, among other issues that are involved. Very strange country! At least here in Portugal, politicians may be corrupt, but at least they seem like normal people to me. It's strange how the citizens of the United States are ruining their image around the world. How can a country that does not understand itself internally want to have credibility externally!
many of us are disgusted with our nation! it is run by GREED and corruption via special interest lobbyists and lack of basic education since REAGANOMICS
I’m pretty sure America started losing credibility with Afghanistan then Iraq. Probably way before that. Our political landscape and judicial systems have lost credibility. You’ve got half a country that embraces lies because they’re too lazy, and another trying to hold the whole thing together. IMO at the end of the day, I think it’s about a bunch of scared white people who are afraid of losing control. P.S. I’m white.
It's very common for SD citizens to travel out of state for medical care due to the lack of specialty care. Many have to travel and are frequently referred by SD state physicians to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and also to Omaha, Nebraska for major professional specialty healthcare services. There is a huge lack of specialty care in SD. You have one major city, Sioux Falls and if you look up the population in this AG state this makes perfect sense. IDK what all the circumstances surround the Governor's decision to go to Texas, but again that is private medical records. I agree that as a whole communications have decreased with the Governors office stemming from the timeline when the media started attacking her family, so this may be a reason why communication's have shrunken with the media. One must be careful with today's culture of hungry lion media.
That explains why there are no dentists in South Dakota. She must have found a vet in Texas with horse experience that was willing to make an exception.
Considering that HIPAA is supposed to protect information about health status and procedures, not the financial aspects of treatment, and pretty much every medical practice makes patients sign HIPAA waivers that specifically cover releasing sufficient information about care to insurance companies as is needed to obtain payment, it's odd that the dental practice is trying to shield the finances behind HIPAA while preparing a promotional video about the procedure(s) performed...
Unfortunately its not shocking that someone who might be Trump's VP has done something sketchy and possibly criminal. And refuses to answer questions about the situation.
@@johnwatson9518 Spoken like a true culty. The difference is we don't worship our politicians and believe them above the law, like you weirdos do. Trump put it best...I could shoot someone on Main St and I wouldn't lose a single vote. He said that because even he is amazed at how weirdly sycophantic his cult is.
@@mischief1013 😵 Sadly, you are the known clown in this thread. Your only true talent in life is deflection, never accepting facts or just wilfully ignoring truths, 🤡. Sad to live your life.
@@mischief1013 The Repubs literally have run a congress that is on track to be historically useless. This is not a both sides issue. When Chip Roy screams at everyone else in the House that he doesn't know what he's going to run on because they haven't done a damn thing...that's pretty bad right, Culty Troll?
Does the state government of South Dakota have ethic rules prohibiting government officials from receiving "favors" that exceed a certain amount of dollar? Federal employees in the Executive branch have to comply with ethic rules prohibiting employees from receiving "favors" (in the form of "free" services, meals, gifts, etc.) that exceed N dollars. For example, a government contract officer isn't allowed to receive "favors" exceeding $10.00 from a contractor.
This is South Dakota. If curious, research how many of our state officials get away with absolutely outrageous crimes. I live here. I'm older. I've seen some of the most BS things happen here it would blow your mind. Start back with Republican governor Bill Janklow. It's worth the effort.
How about "Out of all the major issues in country" she is spending time making videos about her cosmetic procedures. How about working for the citizens for a change?
