The shady side of Donald Trump’s possible vice presidential candidate was revealed when Kristi Noem posted a video to X on March 11, 2024. “I love my new family at Smile Texas!” she tweeted in a five-minute video that appeared to be a blatant advertisement for the dental company. Immediate backlash ensued as X users started attacking Noem’s appearance. “Grifting and drowning in Botox and plastic. How proud you must be,” one replied. “Will you be doing ads for your Botox and filler doctors?” one person snarkily asked. Noem was compared to another prominent Republican figure who was rumored to have gone under the knife. “You are starting to look like [Kimberly Guilfoyle],” they wrote.
Besides the comments about Noem’s seemingly altered appearance, some users wondered about the legality of the governor endorsing a company while in office. Days later, Travelers United — a consumer advocacy group — filed a lawsuit against Noem on March 13. “This is a misleading and deceptive advertising case,” the suit read, per the New York Post. “She did not let her followers know when [she] is advertising on behalf of a brand.”
A month later, Noem was under fire once again when an excerpt from her forthcoming book was released in April 2024.

That led to even more people doubling down on bashing Noem.
