South Dakota Governor Hosts 25-Person Super-Spreader Event

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has long been criticized for taking little-to-no steps to slow the coronavirus pandemic in her state. South Dakota has had 109,580 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,815 deaths. With current testing positivity at nearly 27% the state is one of the hardest hit by the virus per capita. So few were surprised (but still horrified) when the governor (a huge Trump supporter) shared a photo from a 25-person dinner party she recently held with practically no face masks in sight. Only one brave young woman had the temerity to still wear a face mask.

Love having our legislative pages over for dinner! We could not get through session without their help. 💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/OOT3pAtaER

Kristi doesn’t just encourage superspreader events. She holds them too.

The governor of South Dakota is bragging about gathering people together in close proximity without masks during a pandemic. 1 in 500 people in her state has already died from Covid. https://t.co/HWYWwshOIj

Good to know their parents, aunts, and uncles and grandparents could be in grave danger because you lack simple human decency.

Respect to the one girl who’s like I don’t want to die.
