ORLANDO, Fla. – The government of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, a Republican who especially never shut down the economy of the state or aspects of the social life of its citizens, has the government of New York, Cuomo, as an ironic media darling and dr. Anthony Fauci is considered chronically wrong in his prescriptions. and predictions – during Saturday’s final speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Mention that he was frequently spoken of by the press and some Democrats as ‘bad’, reckless and even a ‘denier’.
“Some have even claimed that South Dakota ‘is as bad as it gets anywhere in the world’ when it comes to COVID-19 – that’s a lie,” she said.
“The media did all this while praising the governors who locked up, donned masks and closed businesses – and welcomed the fact that they had taken the ” right ‘steps to reduce the spread of the virus.’
Noem then remembered an appearance in November 2020 on ABC News’ ‘This Week’, where host George Stephanopoulos asked the previous guest Cuomo to give advice to Noem, who adopted the reverse tact as locksmiths like the governors like the New York Democrat and others who accepted it. strict enforcement mechanisms.
“[Stephanopoulos] asked Cuomo to give I advice on how to handle COVID. It now seems like a good time to remind everyone of what Governor Cuomo in New York was doing, ‘she remarks, briefly delving into the details of the nursing home scandal now raging in Albany.
She noted how the state of New York in March ordered COVID patients in nursing homes before banning nursing home legislation due to COVID deaths.
“Six days later, he banned nursing homes from sending COVID patients to the nearby Naval hospital ship or the field hospital – both were essentially empty.”
President Trump ordered the ‘Comfort’ in the Upper New York harbor and Rev. Franklin Graham set up a field hospital in Central Park to help Cuomo and New York’s then-emerging crisis.
“Eight days later, the first deaths began to appear,” Noem said.
To defeat Fauci, who served in both Trump and President Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, and is currently leading the efforts of the later, Noem said the NIH doctor regularly offered flawed guidance and predictions.

‘In South Dakota, I provided all the information we had to our people, and after that I trusted to make the best decisions for myself. [on how to prevent the spread of the virus] for their families and in turn their communities, ‘she said.
“We never focused on the case numbers. Instead, we monitored the capacity of the hospital. Now, Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day I would have ten thousand patients in the hospital on our worst day. a little over six hundred. ‘
“I do not want to, if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is very wrong.”
Noem is seen as a rising star in the Trump-era GOP, and Noem remarked during her speech that, although disappointed with the 2020 election results, she acknowledged that the GOP had experienced worse losses and hit back.
She pointed to the 1964 presidential election, where Conservative Senator Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., Suffered a heavy loss to incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson – who earned 486 votes.
Goldwater came out of the race winning only his homeland and most of the Deep South except Florida.
She said the Conservative movement, which many believe was first set up by Goldwater, later saw ‘incredible innovation’ after the 1964 land loss.
“It has required the creation of many institutions, including the American Conservative Union, the National Right to Life, the Heritage Foundation, the Manhattan Institute, Concerned Women for America, the Federalist Society, the Family Research Council, and many others. hearts and to change plans, ‘she said.
“It is institutions like these that have helped bring about the Reagan Revolution and bring back the American exception. Their work is more important today than ever before.”
