Gov. Kristi Noem calls on House to impeach Jason Ravnsborg after judge finds AG guilty

[TexasTowelie]

Gov. Kristi Noem is asking the South Dakota House of Representatives to review the case file of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg's crash that killed a man in 2020, and consider impeachment.

The call from Noem comes after Ravnsborg stated Thursday he won't be stepping down from his role as the state's top law enforcement official, despite a judge only hours earlier finding him guilty of two misdemeanors tied to the crash almost a year ago.

Speaker of the House Spencer Gosch said in March the House would wait until after “the judicial system is able to do its job” to proceed with articles of impeachment against Ravnsborg, Noem's release stated. And the South Dakota Sheriff’s Association, the South Dakota Police Chiefs Association, and the South Dakota Fraternal Order of Police previously called on him to resign, the release states.

Noem stated she was disappointed in how the case was handled by prosecutors, and "outraged" at the result of the case, alleging Ravnsborg had not accepted the responsibility of Boever's death.

1. Two misdemeanors for killing a man and dragging his body? My, my, my. It's good to be

a rich white MAGAt in South Dakota.

3. Plus he didn't even have to show up in court for the verdict or sentencing.

I hope that the widow sues the pants off of the AG.

2. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This is the only decent thought ever to come out of Noem's mouth. He should be impeached.

Ravnsborg is some piece of work. This part of his statement reaches a new level of a guilty person acting as if he were the victim.

"I’ve often wondered why the accident occurred and all the things that had to have happened to make our lives intersect. I’ve wished thousands of times our paths would have crossed under different circumstances.

The media has reported many untrue, and misleading things they want you to believe are facts. Partisan opportunists from both sides of the aisle have manufactured rumors, conspiracy theories and made statements in direct contradiction to the evidence all sides agreed upon. These are the same people who try to take others down at any cost."

He wonders why the accident happened as if he was being controlled by outside forces that made him cause the accident. Then he blames politics for having to face any consequences at all. Consequences so minor that they amount to an insult to the man who died.

What an asshole.

But check out True Crime Loser’s awesome take on it.

Dude browsed a Biden/China conspiracy site on his phone, while driving, 60 seconds before calling 911 after apparently not having a clue he had killed Joe Boever, whose face came thru the windshield and whose eyeglasses were on his front seat.

5. Hope the family sues him big time

Then at least they can bankrupt him.

6. "I've often wondered why the accident occurred

Maybe because you were speeding and not paying attention and drove into him?

8. Gov. K., you need to take responsibility for those you killed with your public health policy.
