South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has faced scrutiny and criticism for various controversies surrounding her, including an alleged false claim about meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un in her memoir. Noem inaccurately described the meeting with Kim Jong Un, which she later corrected to clarify that the meeting never took place. This misinformation has prompted further questions about the accuracy of Noem's upcoming book.

Apart from the Kim Jong Un controversy, another issue that gained attention was Noem admitting to shooting her family's dog, and the circumstances surrounding it. She defended her actions, stating that the dog was untrainable and dangerous. This incident drew backlash and condemnation from various individuals and experts, questioning the necessity and morality of shooting the dog.

In addition to these controversies, Noem has faced further criticism concerning fundraising events and canceled appearances, which have negatively impacted her political career. Furthermore, her defense of shooting the dog, combined with the mistaken claim about meeting Kim Jong Un, has tarnished her reputation and elicited widespread public disapproval.

The questionable decisions and actions of Governor Noem, ranging from the shooting of her dog to misinformation about a meeting with a world leader, have significantly impacted her standing in the political sphere. These events have not only raised ethical concerns but have also sparked debates about her judgment and suitability for higher political office, including potential implications for her future political prospects.
