Kristi Noem claimed recently that an “illegal alien” had written a letter threatening to assassinate President Trump.

The letter is written in English, a language that the person does not know how to read or write. So far, Noem has issued no apology to this innocent person.

The latter kind of guy, at least in my opinion, is gross.
