Despite having once insisted that Hunter Biden's personal business decisions did "grave damage" to then-presidential candidate Joe Biden's "credibility," South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem would evidently prefer it if people did not mention her apparently corrupt attempt to strong-arm state employees into granting her daughter a lucrative certification.
As the Associated Press reported on Monday, Noem seemingly interfered on behalf of her daughter Kassidy Peters last summer, after Peters — then 26 — applied to become a state-certified real estate appraiser, and was rejected. Per AP's reporting, that rejection was quickly followed up by an impromptu meeting called in Noem's office between the governor, South Dakota's labor secretary, the woman responsible for nixing Peters's application, that woman's direct supervisor, and Peters herself.
