Now we must ask ourselves, will Donald Trump make another mistaken vice-presidential choice in 2024? By many media accounts, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is on Trump’s short list. Has she shown herself more faithful to those who trusted her — particularly Christian parents facing the same trans agenda as those hapless Indiana Catholics?

Not if you look at how Noem fought to gut the South Dakota Legislature’s effort to protect girls’ and women’s sports from “trans” men muscling in. Margot Cleveland wrote about that in The Federalist, in a piece titled “The Worst Thing About Kristi Noem’s Sports Capitulation Is Her Lies.”

Cleveland wrote that Noem claimed simply to tweak that bill in order to protect the state from litigation, but in fact “completely gutted the proposed statute,” under pressure from … drumroll please … the NCAA. The same organization that got Mike Pence to cave.
