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.

    Why would anyone have thought otherwise? What are the odds that a world leader of a global power would meet with a regional official from one of the smallest and least politically relevant states in America?

      How many of the people that vote for her would know that Macron is a world leader of a global power?
