South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) was ridiculed on Twitter after appearing to show that she doesn’t really know what infrastructure is.
Noem, touted by ex-President Donald Trump as a possible 2024 presidential candidate, was asked by Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday for her take on President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure bill. The bill seeks to overhaul the country’s roads and bridges, counter the climate crisis and revitalize the eldercare and housing sectors.
But Noem drove herself straight into a ditch.
“I was shocked by how much doesn’t go into infrastructure,” she said. “It goes into research and development, it goes into housing and pipes and different initiatives, green energy, and it’s not really an honest conversation that we’re having about what this proposal is.”
Watch the video here:
Her blather stunned critics on Twitter, and many accused Noem of not knowing what she was talking about:
Kristi Noem must have learned about infrastructure at Trump University.

South Dakota governor admitting on national TV that she doesn’t know what infrastructure is. Interesting approach politically.

@KristiNoem Define infrastructure. I am not AT ALL convinced that you have even the most remote idea what it is

If you voted for this woman you also can’t define “Infrastructure”
Also make sure someone reminds you to breathe. @govkristinoem I have no words for the dumb this interview shows. pic.twitter.com/OxVZqrEuPz— Titus (@TitusNation) April 1, 2021
Hey @govkristinoem — I’m shocked you don’t know that all of these things are part of the country’s infrastructure. But, now you do ... https://t.co/ZhOqkDNbuE
