Hochul pokes fun at Noem over Texas dental video – Washington Examiner

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) mocked fellow Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) on Wednesday, saying she was not interested in doing a dentist commercial for Texas.

The New York governor’s joke was referring to a video that Noem uploaded to social media on Monday night, in which she praised Smile Texas for the work they had done on her teeth. In an appearance on ABC’s The View, Hochul was asked by co-host Joy Behar if she had any interest in doing a commercial, to which Hochul replied that she would not go to Texas for a dental visit.

“And I would not take any compensation for it, and the most I can accept as a gift is $15 in the state of New York,” Hochul joked. “I don’t think that gets me a cup of coffee, so we’re good. My teeth may not look as good as that, but I’m not going to violate any ethics laws, I assure you.”

Noem’s video, which is almost five minutes long, stated that she had to have an “adjustment” to her teeth after a biking accident several years ago. The video did not specify why Noem, a resident of South Dakota, went to Texas to receive dental care.

Noem’s photo is one of several featured on Smile Texas’s “Smile Gallery” on the dentistry’s website. Her office declined to comment when asked by the Washington Examiner.

Smile Texas is located in Sugar Land, Texas, over 1,100 miles from South Dakota’s capital city Pierre.
