Kristi Noem claims she was ‘blindsided by ‘crossdressing’ news: Insider talks suspicion

The explosive scandal involving Kristi Noem’s husband has blown up social media but one question is getting louder by the day and that is whether she knew, at all about this, or whether she was blindsided.

According to a source that’s just spoken to celebrity news reporter Rob Shuter, “That’s not how people are reading this. There’s real skepticism.”

While speaking to Shuters’ Naughty but Nice podcast the source adds, “This wasn’t something that happened overnight. is why people are struggling with the idea she knew nothing.”

Furthermore, in a place like Washington, Mr Shuter claims the ‘doubt matters’ because “When something this big surfaces, people start connecting dots. They ask what was visible, what was ignored — and what was understood,” the source explained.

Right now the people’s thoughts are divided into two camps they explain. Number being “either she didn’t know,” or “she knew more than is being said publicly.”

And per Mr Shuter himself, “that distinction could define everything.”

His source later goes on to add too that “this is no longer just about the scandal. It’s about credibility. The official story says one thing. But not everyone is convinced.””
