NBC's Peter Alexander Presses Kristi Noem Over Book: 'Why Was That Line Ever' There?
HuffPost
The South Dakota governor kept her answers short with Alexander after writing about a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
NBC’s Peter Alexander grilled South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Sunday about her evidence-free claim of having met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, an anecdote included in her book earlier this year.
“So how did it make it into your book, governor?” asked Alexander, who filled in for Kristen Welker on Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press.”
“I’m not gonna talk about that,” replied Noem, whose “No Going Back” book also includes a controversial story about shooting and killing her dog.
“You’re not gonna talk about —,” Alexander said.
“I took that, I took that, I took that line out of my book and I’m not gonna talk about it,” she said.
