South Dakota Governor Faces Questions Over Dental Video

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem speaks in Oxon Hill, Md., Friday, Feb. 23, 2024. Noem posted an infomercial-style video on X Monday, March 11, 2024, lavishing praise on a team of cosmetic dentists

The Republican governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, is under scrutiny for a five-minute video she posted regarding her dental work at a cosmetic dentistry firm in Houston. The video, unrelated to her gubernatorial duties, has raised concerns among lawmakers in her state and has led to legal action.

In the video, Governor Noem praises the dental team at Smile, Texas, for their work on her teeth, describing the experience as 'absolutely amazing.' She expresses gratitude towards Dr. Davis and becomes emotional, leading to speculation about the purpose of the video.

One of the key questions raised is whether the video was produced or posted to offset the cost of the dental procedure. Governor Noem, who is reportedly being considered as a potential vice presidential pick by former President Trump, has not addressed these questions despite being pressed for answers.
