“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,” she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. “I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”

But Noem’s spokesperson seemed to confirm to Politico and other news outlets that the story is not accurate and that the book will be corrected to remove it.

She sounds like the perfect Trump VP candidate: she just says whatever she thinks people will eat up and doesn’t worry about whether it’s true or not.

    You find the statement " capitalism does not incentivize empathy" to be in contradiction with “the problem will not be solved by good corporate leadership”?

      Maybe not, but the more important thing is that the link doesn’t support the claim at all. Not surprising that you are nit-picking my point, but not calling out the top level comment for deceptively using a citation that doesn’t support their claim.

        Nah, I’m not nitpicking so much as outright rejecting.

        Whatever

          Avoiding the actual point. Well done.
