Kristi Noem‘s book’s landed her in hot water again … this time resulting from a factual error claiming she met Kim Jong Un — even though the meet never happened.
The South Dakota Governor went on CBS’ “Face The Nation” Sunday morning to talk politics and her upcoming autobiography ‘No Going Back’ … and, the show’s host Margaret Brennan brought up a passage where Noem wrote she met the North Korean dictator.
Check out the clip … Noem says the passage’s being taken out of the book — which doesn’t come out until Tuesday FWIW — after the passage was brought to her attention. Basically, arguing she had no idea the story got in there.
When pressed on the issue KN — who at one time was a frontrunner to be former President Donald Trump‘s running mate — touts meeting with other foreign leaders … but, ultimately says she made a mistake and the publisher’s rectifying it.

BTW … lots of people on Twitter are roasting Governor Noem over the clip — saying this latest gaffe may knock her out of the race to be Veep, especially after she revealed she shot and killed a dog in the book too.
ICYMI … Noem writes a story in the book where she took a dog that attacked some chickens and snapped at her to a gravel pit and shot it to death — a revelation many people on social media called her out for.

The governor defended herself at the time … saying animals die on farms all time — so, it’s to be expected. As you might imagine, that did little to placate animal lovers.
BTW … she also addressed the dog story on ‘FTN’ — saying she included it in the book to show people she’s willing to make tough decisions.
Either way … this book’s causing Noem PR nightmares — and, we’ll have to see if she’s still offered Trump’s coveted veep spot.
