PIERRE, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Today, in the wake of an attack against Israel by Iran, Governor Kristi Noem issued the following statement:

“Israel has every right to defend their God-given homeland against this latest act of terrorism by Iran. We will pray for the Israeli people. Biden and Harris’ weak and failed foreign policy and their tactics of appeasing terrorists have caused our world to be on fire! We need strong, proven leadership in the White House – we need Donald Trump.”

Governor Noem initially posted this statement on X, which you can find here.
