Noem went to Arizona to condemn its elections system as “an absolute disaster.”
Asked for one example of fraud, she replied, “Oh, I’m sure there’s many of them” — a clumsy way of admitting, “I assume my conspiracy theory is true, but I can’t back it up.”
In GOP politics, this keeps happening.

Pressed on voting conspiracy theories, Noem gives the wrong answer to a good question
When an official accuses a state of having a system of elections that’s become “an absolute disaster,” she really only has one job: Prove it.

Big nope to the Rubio speech
"Instead of street sweeps, residents and observers have frequently spotted masked agents sitting in an SUV idling for long periods in residential areas, either alone or with an accompanying SUV parked across the street" before arrests ... vehicles positioned a block away from school bus stops.
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.
