SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Friday defended her administration's handling of her daughter's application for a real estate appraiser license, attempting to brush aside questions about a meeting she held last year that included her daughter, Kassidy Peters, and the state employee who was overseeing her application.

“I never once asked for special treatment for Kassidy,” the Republican governor said in video posted on YouTube days after The Associated Press first reported on the meeting. “She is my daughter and I'm proud of her. I raised her to accomplish things on her own.”

The meeting happened after the Department of Labor and Regulation moved to deny Peters the license. Four months later, in November 2020, Peters received her certification as a residential appraiser, according to the department.

A week after Peters received her license, the state employee who directed the agency was allegedly pressured to retire by Noem’s Cabinet secretary. The state employee, Sherry Bren, eventually received a $200,000 payment from the state to withdraw an age discrimination complaint and leave her job.

“I never once asked for special treatment for Kassidy,”

No you just gave it.

1. Nobody used to pay attention to this sort of thing. That's why it's so easy to catch them now.

2. A couple of days ago...

Everyone was picking on Noem’s “kid”, and her “child”.

Now, she’s “Kassidy”, and “my daughter”.

These people are such phonies.
