REVEALED: South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem summoned state real estate agency head to her office after 26-year-old daughter's home appraisal application was rejected

  • GOP Gov. Kristi Noem summoned state officials to her office when it looked like her daughter's certified real estate appraisal application would be rejected
Just days after a South Dakota agency moved to deny her daughter's application to become a certified real estate appraiser, Gov. Kristi Noem summoned to her office the state employee who ran the agency, the woman's direct supervisor and the state labor secretary.

Noem's daughter attended too.

Kassidy Peters, then 26, ultimately obtained the certification in November 2020, four months after the meeting at her mother's office.

A week after that, the labor secretary called the agency head, Sherry Bren, to demand her retirement, according to an age discrimination complaint Bren filed against the department.

Bren, 70, ultimately left her job this past March after the state paid her $200,000 to withdraw the complaint.

Exactly what transpired at the July 27, 2020, meeting in the governor's office isn´t clear.

Noem declined an interview request and her office declined to answer detailed questions about the meeting.

Still, government ethics experts who reviewed the series of events at the AP's request said Noem's decision to include her daughter in the meeting created a conflict of interest regardless of what was discussed.

While Peters was applying for the certification, Noem should have recused herself from discussions on the agency, especially any that would apply to her daughter's application, said Richard Painter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School who was the chief ethics lawyer for former President George W. Bush.

'It's clearly a conflict of interest and an abuse of power for the benefit of a family member,' he said.

2024 came early for Kristi Noem. And not in a good way.

(CNN) With great power comes great responsibility. And a whole lot of scrutiny.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is learning that lesson the hard way as she has come under withering attention of late -- right as she begins to be regarded as a potentially strong 2024 candidate for the Republican presidential nominee.

First came reporting from The Associated Press on Monday that Noem had set up -- and attended -- a meeting with her daughter, Kassidy Peters, who was facing the denial of her certification as a real estate appraiser when the meeting took place, and several top state officials, including the agent in charge of giving out those licenses. Peters was subsequently approved for it several months later after completing additional licensing requirements.

Then, even as Noem was trying to get out from under that cloud, came a report Wednesday from American Greatness, a conservative website, that Noem has been having an affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

The affair likely wraps up the Evangelical vote for her. Not sure why they like that in candidates given their theology, but oh well.

We'll know she's a serious threat when she commits suicide with 2 shots to the back of the head.

Good! Noem is a Republicuck that’s owned by the leftist Chamber of Commerce and hopefully will never even sniff DC.

At the very least, she showed poor judgment in holding that meeting in her office. We don't know what was said, but we know who was there, and the optics are terrible. It's an unforced error.

I just realized that the notorious Jason Ravnsborg, is incredibly still in office as the Attorney General of South Dakota. This clown got plastered, killed a pedestrian with his car, left the scene of the accident... and later told investigators that he was unaware that he had hit anyone even though the pedestrian's head had crashed through his windshield.

This is the idiot that will be investigating Noem? It's amazing how much a small state like South Dakota can have in common with Massachusetts and Illinois. I can't believe that loser is still the AG. Noem has nothing to worry about here.
