RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – There is an update on the now viral exchange that former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem started with a country music star.
Ella Langley, who Noem said she’d take over Kacey Musgraves any day, appears to have un-tagged herself from Noem’s post.
This began when the former governor went after Musgraves on social media after Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico shared a photo with the musician.
Musgraves responded with a jab about how Noem killed her 14-month-old dog.
So far, Langley and her representatives haven’t commented on the tag being removed from Noem’s post.
