South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) claims in her new book that she once met with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un when she served in Congress, but the Dakota Scout says this story is almost certainly false.
“Noem served on the House Armed Services Committee from 2013-2015. During that period, committee members including Noem visited China in 2014. But there is no record of Kim being in China then. After assuming the role of supreme leader of North Korea in 2011, Kim did not leave North Korea until 2018.”
“That timeline, along with Kim’s preference to operate through proxies, makes Noem’s account nearly impossible.”
