CNN host Dana Bash interrupted South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Sunday over a comparison between President Joe Biden and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Jury selection in Alvin Bragg’s trial concluded Friday. Noem drew attention to Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden during a discussion about Trump’s legal battles before the South Dakota governor was interrupted by Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“President Trump paid his legal fees. He paid his Michael Cohen legal fees and bills, and that’s what this trial will bring forward, hopefully, is the truth,” Noem said. “What a ridiculous case that this is. And that it’s based on the, the narrative today that is coming from a man who’s proven to be a liar. So, uh, I’m hoping that this judge makes the right decision. I’m hoping these jurors can come in and be unbiased. And we’ll let this case go forward in a swift manner that allows President Trump to get back on the campaign trail.”

“Americans deserve to hear from their candidates, and the Democrats and the activists are using this trial to derail him, to keep him in court instead of out talking to Americans about what their real concerns are,” she continued. “And their real concerns are their every day lives. They need a leader in the White House who gets up every day and puts them first and doesn’t raise their taxes. Doesn’t over-regulate them, take away their freedoms and give all our money to other countries instead of making sure that we’re taking care of America first and keeping us safe and secure.”

“I, I just want to say for the record, there’s absolutely no evidence that President Biden is involved in this,” Bash interrupted. “This is a a case that is being brought, uh, in the state of New York by the Manhattan DA.” (RELATED: ‘More Than Happy To Testify’: Michael Avenatti Says He’s In Contact With Trump Defense Team: REPORT)

“Yes, that’s, that’s what I think is remarkable,” Noem said. “Is that if you look at President Biden, and what he’s done, and what his son has done, and the fact that, uh —”

“That has nothing, that, that, okay,” Bash said as Noem continued to talk. “That has nothing to do with this. That has nothing to do with this. So my question is….”

“— they are not being prosecuted for some of their crimes that they have committed is really kind of unprecedented,” Noem continued. “Not with this one. It’s a completely different…. We have a judicial system right now that’s being used against us.”

“My other point that I want to make….” Bash began as Noem was not done speaking.

“Certain members of certain parties… not against other,” Noem said.

Trump was charged with 34 felony counts by Bragg in New York after being accused of falsifying business records to cover up an alleged “hush money” payment related to what former porn star Stormy Daniels claimed was an extramarital affair.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
