South Dakota's AG Told The Sheriff's Office He Hit A Deer–But He Actually Hit And Killed A Man

South Dakota's AG Told The Sheriff's Office He Hit A Deer–But He Actually Hit And Killed A Man

At 10:30 PM on Saturday, September 13, South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg hit and killed a man with his car while returning home from a Republican fundraiser.

Just after hitting the man, Ravnsborg called in and reported hitting a deer with his car.


The next day, however, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem held a press conference where she announced Ravnsborg was under investigation for striking and killing 55-year-old Joseph Boever of Highmore.

The South Dakota Department of Public Safety issued a statement saying that Ravnsborg called the Hyde County Sheriff's Office to report he had hit a deer, but didn't clarify whether or not he had exited his car to confirm that it was only a deer.


Meanwhile, Boever's family is skeptical of the details of Ravnsborg's story. Many of them became suspicious when it took 22 hours to identify his body.

The victim's cousin, Nick Nemec, also noted:

"A deer doesn't look like a human."

According to the Boevers, Joseph was likely walking along the road at night to make repairs on his own truck, which had crashed into a nearby bale of hay earlier that day.

Ravnsborg claims he did not know he hit a man until Boever's body was discovered the next morning. He said in a statement:

"I am shocked and filled with sorrow following the events of last night. As Governor Noem stated, I am fully cooperating with the investigation and fully intend to continue to do so moving forward. At this time I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family."

Investigators have not stated whether they believe alcohol or poor driving were factors in the crash but Ravnsborg claims to have not been drinking at the Republican fundraiser earlier that evening.

The Attorney General does have a history of speeding violations, however. Between 2014 and 2018, he was issued six speeding tickets, as well as a "seat belt violation" and a citation for driving without a proper muffler. He pled guilty and paid fines in all of these cases.

Investigations are ongoing and will surely have dramatic political consequences if the Attorney General is found to be at fault in Boever's death.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
