KRISTI NOEM UNDER FIRE FROM STATE FREEDOM CAUCUS FOR ALLEGEDLY OVERSTEPPING SOUTH DAKOTA CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS"First, we were kicked out of the Caucus. Some argue that we ‘chose not to join,’ but at the December meeting it was clearly stated that if you do not sign the rules, then your membership would be revoked. How can that be?" the group wrote."We were members when we voted on the rules and in leadership elections during the meeting.
"Second, Caucus Leadership claims that you intended to throw us out. Many of you have reached out and expressed that you had no intention of passing a rule that would force all members to sign a loyalty pledge or be expelled from Caucus," the letter said.DEMOCRATIC KINGMAKER CLYBURN 'ALL-IN' FOR BIDEN 2024, ISSUES WARNING AGAINST PRIMARY CHALLENGERS

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck weighed in on the controversy on Twitter Friday."The GOP in South Carolina seem to have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Support your @SCFreedomCaucus over the self serving rhinos. It is time for the @SCGOPto work FOR the PEOPLE," he wrote."This may be the most important issue we face because it will impact all others," the Freedom Caucus letter said."This is the fight for transparency.
