South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem personally killed a 2022 state contract with a transgender advocacy group the minute she heard about it.
“South Dakota does not support this organization’s efforts, and state government should not be participating in them,” she told the press of The Transformation Project.
But Noem left it to a minion to write an apology required by Thursday’s finalized settlement of a federal discrimination lawsuit the group brought in response to the governor’s words and actions.
