South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) had many tongues wagging after her recent criticism of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris .

During an appearance on Wednesdays episode of Prime News on Newsmax, Noem suggested that the vice president might look crazy in her new interview with CNN , which is set to air Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Harris is appearing alongside her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in the sit-down with CNN anchor Dana Bash. The pretaped conversation marks Harris first big interview as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Noem took issue with Walz joining Harris for the CNN discussion. She said it was disappointing since women regularly take on tough challenges by themselves.

We have a woman who wants to be the leader of the free world, and she cant get through an interview without being propped up by a man? she scoffed. Its insulting. It really is.

The Republican governor then leveled accusations about why she believes Walz had signed on to participate in the CNN sit-down with Harris.

I hope that everybody recognizes that Tim is there to help prop her up and, if it gets awkward or she starts giggling or looking ... crazy, that hes going to interrupt and take over, she said.
