Kristi Noem: ‘My advice for Republican Party is to get over yourself’

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem gave a speech on Wednesday night to the Reagan Library, with a message for Republicans about how to behave.

Speaking to Fox News Digital before the speech itself, Noem noted that the theme would be to listen more, talk less, and cease the petty bickering. The central portion of her message was one sentence Noem delivered in remarks prepared before the speech in an interview with Fox News:

“My advice to the Republican Party is to get over yourself.”

“We all have people in our lives we have stopped talking to, we have been offended by, or believe they are too far at the other end of the political spectrum from us that there is no sense in wasting words on them. We need to get over ourselves. And start by listening,” Noem continued.

As part of her interview prior to the speech itself, Noem told Fox News that South Dakota is a success story that is proof positive that Republican policies, especially of the sort articulated by former President Ronald Reagan, whom Noem greatly admires, are working.

“South Dakota is proof that our Republican principles work. We in South Dakota have very low taxes, very low regulations. We kept our state open during the pandemic. We defend our freedoms and rights and we have the number one economy in the country,” she said.

Noem also felt that Republicans are getting distracted, and show a lack of “discipline” when getting into pointless arguments on Twitter that serve no real goal and don’t convince anybody to change their votes.

“We’ve quit having conversations with people we disagree with. Instead, if we disagree with people, we blow them up or jump on Twitter. That needs to stop. We need to listen and build relationships. Communication is one of the things we have to discipline ourselves on,” Noem told Fox News.

“I’m encouraging Republicans to … listen, have a conversation rather than constantly blowing each other up and storming out of the room,” Noem continued.

The governor went on to say that she felt Reagan and former President Donald Trump were very similar, with the exception of immigration, probably referring to Reagan’s amnesty of 3 million illegal immigrants, which could not be more opposite to Trump’s approach. Noem openly agreed with the statement that her message and approach about Republicans getting over themselves was more homage to Reagan’s communication style than Trump’s.

Noem, the first woman to govern South Dakota, has been both heroine and villain, depending on who you ask. The governor was notable for refusing to shut down South Dakota for the Covid-19 pandemic, and refusing to impose a public mask mandate or restrictions on large gatherings. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Noem celebrated the Fourth of July with Trump at Mount Rushmore.

As for future political aspirations, Noem refused to elaborate beyond swaying she was focusing on her 2022 re-election campaign as governor of South Dakota.

  1. So conservative republicans are suppose to cross the isle and schmooz with the party that rigged an election resulting in a democrat puppet president??? That sounds like a RINO talking.

  2. I entirely agree. I cringe every time a representative or senator with a (R) beside their name boasts about how we are going to blast the demoncrats out of the park in November. We were all pretty confident about that in 2020 weren’t we? Guys, just keep your mouths shut and make all your plans AFTER (and IF) we are successful. The DOJ is not going to watch your back in the elections and I expect even worse bad tricks this fall. Keep your powder dry folks!

  3. The republicans need to take lessons from the democrats. Stick together and don’t help those who are not republicans, but are still in the republican party. In other words the rino s that are actually democrats in the republican party.

  4. Outstanding! She is a great possible Presidential hopeful. I will be seriously considering retiring in South Dakota.. It sounds like the America I grew up in.

  5. I don’t think I’m going to start listening to my left wing wacko sister or my wife’s left wing wacko aunt or any left wing wacko who wants to destroy my Right Wing Constitution and change my country into a communist, collective, socialized utopia! THEY! ARE THE TRAITORS! WE ARE THE PATRIOTS!!! We are defending our Constitution. They are trying to destroy our Constitution! It is that simple.

  6. My comment has nothing to do with this article but I do hope BPR might read it because since they have come up with this new format/system I can no longer log on to any article that BPR presented by American Wire and anytime I make on a comment on this site if I type the letter (F) it immediately goes to a You Tube video. My question is does anyone else seem to have these problems since BPR has changed their system.

  7. Frankly Noem, I was over you when you displayed your RINOness when you were in Congress.

  8. The problem is you can’t have a reasonable conversation with a leftist. They just end up calling you one of the ist or phobics.

    1. democratics will never engage in the arena of ideeas. The only weapons in the democrat playbook are character assassingation and politics of personal destruction. They sound similar to the noises of 4th grade girls on the playground or on their cell phones which they are never without. I am just too dang old to put up ;with their nonsense…..

  9. Texas has a much more diverse and stronger economy than South Dakota. Sorry, Governor Noem.

  10. Good for her! Although I haven’t heard Bongino or Shamitty talk smack about her for a couple of weeks now….

  11. I guess bprs changes has run everyone away,,,I haven’t seen many comments since the change,,,mistake or ???,,,,FJB,,,,,

    2. I think that not having a reply button for the first couple of weeks turned a lot of people off. They may or may not come back.

    4. I totally agree. The many responses to the comments of others has just about disappeared. What a shame this change has greatly reduced the debates seen on this site in the past.

    5. I have a question, how do you know if someone has replied or viewed your comment unless you go back to every comment you have made to see the status? As I think most of us are well aware there used to be a notification every time someone like or replied to your comments. Also why is it when ever I type the letter f when making a comment it automatically goes to a You Tube video? Who ever the mental midget was that thought this new format was a great improvement should be fired immediately.
