“Security Reasons” Don’t Stop Noem Photo Opp with Guards Headed for Southern Border

South Dakota

When Governor Kristi Noem announced she was pimping out our National Guard to a billionaire bidder with an ideological agenda, but the Governor’s Office initially refused to give details about the deployment out of concern for “security reasons.”

Evidently there are no security reasons to avoid publishing pictures of the South Dakota National Guarders when the Governor needs a campaign photo opp.

If I were a terrorist seeking to undermine national security by targeting National Guards deployed to the border, I’d find budget data on the cost of the deployment far less useful than photos of the Guards themselves. So the next time you hear Ian Fury babbling about “security reasons”, remind him of these photos from his boss, and then ask him to quit stonewalling and give us some real public budget accountability.
