South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been banned from entering 20 percent of the state after several Native American tribes barred her from their land.
The bans come after Noem suggested that tribal leaders benefitted from drug cartels.
Noem, who infamously wrote about shooting her hunting dog for misbehaving in her memoir, told a forum in March that 'we've got some tribal leaders that I believe are personally benefiting from the cartels being there, and that's why they attack me every day.'
The governor, who has been tipped as a frontrunner to be Trump's running mate in the upcoming election, has now been banned by the Yankton Sioux Tribe, Sisseton-Wahpeton Ovate tribe, the Oglala, Rosebud, Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux tribes.
There are just three other tribes in the state that have yet to ban her.
