Yesterday on News Nation, Elizabeth Vargas asked governor Kristi Noem a simple question: why didn't Noem remove the passage with the "error" about Km Jong Un when she recorded it for the audiobook version of "No Going Back".

VARGAS: "But clearly, if you're taking it out of the book, it's because it's untrue."

NOEM: "I've given you my answer. No, and that's not the answer. I would say that this is something that I asked to have adjusted and have the content and that name removed and that is truly what the action has been."

VARGAS: "You said that when you learned of it you immediately took action."

NOEM: "Mm-hmm."

VARGAS: "You recorded the whole book, the audiobook, you read this whole passage out loud. Why didn't you take it out then, when you read the audiobook?"

NOEM: "You know I traveled for years. I've been involved in policy for almost thirty years. And so I've gone all across the world. I've met with world leaders --"

VARGAS: "But you didn't realize when you read the audiobook--"

NOEM: "When it was brought to my attention, and I asked the publisher if they would remove the name and they did."

VARGAS: "Okay, but you didn't answer my question. You posted pictures and video of yourself recording the audiobook. When you recorded your own audiobook, you didn't notice this passage?"

NOEM: "I'm not going to discuss about my meetings with world leaders."

VARGAS: "I'm not asking you to. I'm asking about recording the audiobook."

NOEM: "Do you want to talk about anything else today?"

VARGAS: "We're just trying to get a straight answer from you."

NOEM: "We did. And I took responsibility for it."

Noem, the MAGAt who lied about staring down Kim Jong Un and bragged about throwing a puppy into a gravel pit and shooting her in the face.

Heaven forbid if she was the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and said she was a professor... then the Trump Cult would be upset.
