Kristi Noem dressing up in a costume in full makeup and hair extensions posing as a tough chick is an insult to every strong legitimate female law enforcement officer in America. What an embarrassment.🙄

I love Noem and think she will be great at the job. But the uniform in full makeup look is ridiculous. If she's going for the Boarder Barbie look she nailed it. #BorderBarbie

She isn't wearing a 'costume'
She is wearing what people out west call working clothes. https://t.co/vtxp8JBXf5

She grew up on a ranch. It’s not a costume for ⁦@SecNoem⁩.
As for the make up & beautiful hair, good for her! She leads in a party that celebrates beauty & femininity as a strength. Totally on brand. I’m detecting some peanut butter & jealous here. https://t.co/BB9Wwl3f9R

For those critical of Kristi Noem’s costume, she’s riding with the Del Rio Sector of the border patrol. Damn near everyone wears cowboy hats down there.

Noem’s a South Dakota rancher.

It’s a lifestyle, not a costume.

That's not a "costume". That's who she is. We're perfectly happy with the look. Don't be ridiculous.
