Once upon a time, Tim Walz & Kristi Noem were friends… then she falsely accused him of “mutilating children”
Tim Walz and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem weren’t justly “friendly” with one another, they were friends.Before VP Kamala Harris tapped Walz to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, prompting Noem to label him a “radical” and an “extremist”, the two midwesterners were colleagues in the House of Representatives.
Not only did the work together on legislation, they even said nice things about one another in the press and posed for selfies with each other when they were both elected governors of their states in 2018.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!It was a rare bipartisan friendship that appeared, dare we say, genuine.Last night, I got to hang out with some of my fellow midwestern governor elects!
Excited to work together with South Dakota and Wisconsin. pic.twitter.com/O4gcYNChZ5In 2013, Walz and Noem recorded a video together to promote the Protect Our Prairies Act, which they were co-sponsoring at the time.
In the video, they expressed kindness and appreciation for one another.“It’s a smart bill and I’m grateful to the Congresswoman both as we share similar geography out there, and while our producers are great stewards of the land, we share that land with our sportsmen and making sure that we have those resources available,” Walz said.“I love working with Tim just because he’s got such a commonsense approach, which I like too,” Noem added.The prairie bill was just one of many bills the two worked on together.
