France Blasts Noem For Lying About Invite From Macron

The Daily Mail reports:

French officials are disputing a passage of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s controversial new book that claimed she cancelled a meeting with Emmanuel Macron over his comments on the Israel-Hamas war.

“While in Paris, I was slated to meet with French president Emmanuel Macron. However, the day before we were to meet he made what I considered a very pro-Hamas and anti-Israel comment to the press. So, I decided to cancel,’ Noem said in a passage of the book.”

“The Governor was invited to sit in President Macron’s box for the Armistice Day Parade at Arc de Triomphe,” Ian Fury, the governor’s chief of communications said. However, a representative for Macron said there is no record of a scheduled meeting between two and denied ever inviting her for a meeting in the first place.
