Kristi Noem's book claims she met with Kim Jong Un, but that's not really checking out

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem’s forthcoming book, which previously made headlines for an excerpt outlining her shooting a puppy, is steeped in controversy once again. In "No Going Back," Noem describes a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, recalling that she was “sure he underestimated me.” But, as it turns out, the two have actually never met. “We’ve been made aware that the publisher will be addressing conflated world leaders’ names in the book before it is released,” spokesperson Ian Fury said in a statement. The book contains at least one more possibly inaccurate account of a conversation, one which Noem alleges took place between her and Nikki Haley.
