To say the Twitterverse is sceptical of Governor Noem’s denial is a vast understatement. The reaction is torrent of scorn.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Wednesday denied a report from a conservative media outlet alleging she’s having an extramarital affair with Corey Lewandowski, an aide to former President Trump who is also advising Noem.
The rebuke came after the conservative website American Greatness put out an article alleging Noem and Lewandowski of carrying on a romantic relationship. The report cited “multiple” sources, with one saying members of Congress have called the affair an "open secret," though none of the sources were identified.
The report and Noem’s response come as the South Dakota governor faces scrutiny at home over a meeting she put together with a state employee who denied her daughter’s application to become a certified real estate appraiser, a move that prompted allegations of abuse of power.
And if that isn’t enough….

"Trashelle Odom, the wife of Idaho construction executive John Odom, alleges that Lewandowski repeatedly touched her, including on her leg and buttocks, and spoke to her in sexually graphic terms," Politico reports. "Odom said that Lewandowski 'stalked' her throughout the evening. Four people who were first-hand witnesses at the event corroborated Odom's allegations. POLITICO also spoke with two people — one who was at the event and another who was not — who described conversations they had with Odom about the incidents immediately after they happened."
