Noem Says Georgia’s New Senators Are Communists

January 9, 2021 · 7:31 am ET · Leave a Comment

A day after calling for healing and peace as a country, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is alleging “communists” have infiltrated the United States Senate, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports.

In an op-ed in The Federalist, Noem accused Senator-elects Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of being communists, calling one a “33-year-old with no accomplishments” and the other a “smooth-talking preacher.”

Wrote Noem: “The idea that Georgia, of all places, could elect two communists to the United States Senate was ridiculous.”
