South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Sends 50 National Guard Troops to Texas

[robertlussier]

Noem will also send her National Guard against native Americans protesting pipelines.

[BLACKWOLF-]

This is so against the law, national guard in a branch of the u.s. military, they cannot be used like private security. I hope she gets thrown in jail too.

[constituenta]

Since when can private citizens hire National Guard troops to engage in military actions in other states?

[d.b.]

We don't need their help. Our state governor has no problem letting us down.

[lindaarnold]

Why is Gov of South Dakota "worried" about a border 1000 miles away from her state?
Why is the National Guard of SD being turned into a private security unit? NATIONAL as in Federal Guards... not for hire by a wealthy man from Tenn... who is also about 1000 miles away from the Mexican border. No logic. Only fear and prejudice 😕

[machkeznho]

Pentagon needs to set some boundaries and send those troops back whence they came....

[philgroves]

Why doesn't the governor of SD (K. Noem) request private donors to help fund medical facilities - or other social programs - that actually help and support her constituents, instead of making the natl. guard a mercenary force for hire?

I understand that sometimes people go insane, but it’s extremely annoying when they choose to go stupid

[sandralewis]

Governor's using the National guards as private mercenaries. WTH

[pinkrose]

So the National Guard is for sale??!!! Why didn't I know about that when I was in the Guard?? The extra money I could have made on the side as a mercenary would have really been financially beneficial!! Sarcasm here!

[marcuslittle]

And I thought we were done with Michelle Bachman, now a clone has risen in South Dakota 🤦🏽‍♂️

[jrbspacecowboy]

This is abominable...should be immediate removal from office

[idhero]

Darnn, this segment was brutal. Yeah, hard to believe there's no intelligence requirement for a spot in government office.

[scottweisser]

As a South Dakotan, I'm plenty embarrassed by our second-rate Palin of the Prairie "governor."

[mathuedoi]

I feel bad for the guardsmen being taken away from home and family for someone's political circus act.

[tedbeach]

They need to recall this governor too.

[sbwlzjf]

Thank you Tiffany this was excellent. Hoping to see more of your segments .

[rogerlonghorn]

So 50 families are now separated for the summer What a crock

[MsBeachgirl]

WTF is going on in this country? God help us all!
