Reba McEntire Disavows Kristi Noem Fundraiser

[TexasTowelie]

Country superstar Reba McEntire was billed at one of the special guests at a fundraiser for South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem—but she says she isn’t attending and didn’t even know about it. “Last night, an invitation to a political fundraiser with my name attached was sent out without my knowledge or permission. I had and have no plans to attend this event and had told the event organizers as such,” McEntire wrote on Twitter. “Throughout my career, I have stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today.”

Noem’s spokesman, Ian Fury, said in a statement that the campaign had “written confirmation” that McEntire would be taking part. “I’d add that the Governor is a huge fan of Reba,” he said. The $500-a-head event, a barbecue this Sunday, is to raise money for Noem’s re-election bid. The Republican has repeatedly denied she has designs on higher office.

1. How rude!

Let’s see that “written confirmation”, Ian.

And her being a “huge fan” of Reba does not give her permission to use Reba’s name in her fundraiser paraphernalia.

2. Why is the BBQ not in South Dakota?

Interesting.

Too hot maybe this time of year?

3. I had to look it up,

but Gallatin Gateway, Montana is west of the western border of Wyoming so it isn't one of those things where it is just across the border in the next state. It appears the Noem has gone to the donation well in South Dakota to the point of it being tapped out so she had to shift to another state and the big dollar signs are in Montana.

4. Hmmm...BUt Will THere Be MOney For Her In Montana?

5. Trump tried the same shenanigans with Elton John.

Announced that EJ would be a highlighter at Trump's Inauguration.

John vociferously denied the claim, leaving Trump with C-listers for entertainment.

7. I'm sure Ted Nugent or Kid Rock would have filled in ably for Sir Elton
