    For those curious about what she said to warrant the bans:

    “My next step would be to do what I can to get a tribe to participate with me to help their kids be more successful,” Noem said. “Because they live with 80% to 90% unemployment. Their kids don’t have any hope. They don’t have parents who show up and help them. They have a tribal council or a president who focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.”

      [their children] don’t have parents who show up and help them.

      [their leadership] focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.

      Every accusation is an admission…
