View More�Don�t Put Words In My Mouth�; Kristi Noem Pummels Reporter Into Silence For Asking About �Double Mask Mandates� South Dakota GOP Governor Kristi Noem pummeled a reporter on Thursday afternoon for asking her about a double mask mandate. Speaking at a press briefing, Noem slammed the idea of implementing a mandate that would require people to wear a second mask. �That�s not what America�s about; that�s not what South Dakota is about,� she said. This bizarre and laughable idea started a few weeks ago when federal health officials began suggesting that people wear a second mask to stop the spread of COVID-19. Noem also smacked the CDC for their changing positions, saying: �I choose to rely on science and data and facts. And masks can work in certain situations if you�re wearing the right kind and if you�re doing it appropriately, but I�m not going to mandate it.� At the briefing, a reporter asked, �You�ve been resistant to implement mask mandates; you�re skeptical of their efficacy �� Noem fired back, �I never said that, Joe. Don�t put words in my mouth. What I�ve said is the appropriate mask at the appropriate time, utilized correctly and kept sanitary can make a difference, but I also don�t believe it�s my role to mandate that people wear a mask. I�ve left, for the entire year, it up to personal responsibility to make the best decision for them and their families, and I�ll continue to do that.� The reporter speculated, �So now that the CDC is recommending two masks �� Noem interjected, �Well, the CDC has changed their recommendations many, many, many times. In fact, we�ve seen the CDC change their recommendations based on political pressure in the past. I choose to rely on science and data and facts. And masks can work in certain situations if you�re wearing the right kind and if you�re doing it appropriately, but I�m not going to mandate it. It�s not an argument over whether masks work or if they don�t work; I�ve never argued that.� �What I argue is the mandate,� Noem stated. �I think the mandate is inappropriate, for someone to come in and mandate that somebody wear a mask. And I think it�s inappropriate for us to shame people who choose not to wear a mask. That�s not what America�s about; that�s not what South Dakota is about. �So no double mask mandate in South Dakota?� the reporter queried. Noem answered, �Not coming in South Dakota. So I will not be doing that. That�s for sure.�
