Gov. Kristi Noem says Georgia elected 'communists' to serve in the U.S. Senate [View all]

Source: Argus Leader

A day after calling for healing and peace as a country, South Dakota’s governor is alleging “communists” have infiltrated the United States Senate.

Gov. Kristi Noem this week used social media to denounce riots in the nation's capitol and to remind people, "There are consequences for how we talk to each other in this country."

That didn't stop her, though, from going after two Democrats who won a pair of runoff elections Tuesday in Georgia, contests resulting in Republicans losing control of the Senate for the first time since 2014.

In an op-ed on the alternative news site The Federalist, Noem accused Senator-elects Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of being communists, calling one a "33-year-old with no accomplishments" and the other a "smooth-talking preacher."
