Via the Rapid City Journal:

The governor [Kristi Noem] did not say she regrets calling the new Democratic senators from Georgia “communists.” She made the comments about Sens. John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in an article for the Federalist after saying “there are consequences for how we talk to each other in this country” in response to the Capitol riot.

There are consequences for how we talk to each other in this country. Today, let’s all pray for healing and peace for our nation. Let’s all remember that the United States of America is the most special nation in history.
