Kristi Noem has returned to social media after weeks of silence, using her first post back on X to hit back at Democratic Senator Tina Smith over a jab involving a dog.
The former US Secretary of Homeland Security had largely stayed away from the platform since controversy erupted around her husband, Bryon Noem, earlier this year. The scandal drew widespread attention after reports claimed Bryon had allegedly interacted with online fetish models and praised their augmented appearances in private conversations. While Kristi Noem did not publicly address the situation at the time, her absence from X became noticeable as headlines surrounding her family continued to circulate.
