A French official said there is no record of a scheduled meeting with the South Dakota governor – nor had they invited her

The French government has joined the chorus of detractors taking aim at South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s political autobiography No Going Back, which many now see as having eliminated her chances of being Donald Trump’s vice-presidential selection.

Days after Noem removed a passage claiming she had met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, officials at the Élysée Palace in Paris are questioning a passage that describes a cancelled meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron.

    Well she didn’t meet with him…so technically she didn’t lie

    My guess is she was “planning” to meet with him but never told anyone (except her publisher) and ultimately “cancelled” it because she probably had no idea how to even approach getting such a meeting in the first place
