South Dakota Governor Kristie Noem had to shoot her dog because it was “less than worthless” and “untrainable.”
South Dakota governor and Republican vice presidential contender Kristi Noem on Friday responded to a news report about a section of her forthcoming book where she describes killing her 14-month-old dog.
“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” she said in a post to X above a headline from The Guardian, which obtained a copy of Noem's upcoming book, “No Going Back.”
The Guardian's article describes a section of Noem's book, set for release next month, in which she recounted shooting her dog after deciding it was “less than worthless” and “untrainable.”
In her account, Noem grabbed her gun and led the dog, named Cricket, to a gravel pit.
“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done,” Noem wrote.
She then went on to kill a family goat, which she called “nasty and mean.” Noem also led the goat to a gravel pit, where she said her first shot wounded but did not kill the animal. She got another shell for her gun and killed the goat, according to the book.

I told you all that she would be Trump's Vice-Presidential running mate.
She has just the right qualifications that he's looking for.
Cold. Mean. Ruthless.

You're absolutely correct R1. She's perfect for the job.
She also looks the part.

Based on this, if she was VP, Trump would have a fatal “accident” within the first 60 days. She would trample all over him to be the first woman president/dictator.

R15 She didn’t kill her daughter after she failed the real estate appraiser exam. I would have thought that was enough to judge her on but no.

R8: Well, that's weird....because when I typed "Noem" (just Noem, nothing else) in the search box, the other two threads (about killing the dog) appeared my results. I know it can be a little finicky, but c'mon now...

Noem on Hannity's show blames the " fake news" and urges people to buy her book:
[quote]“It was a hard decision and the reason it’s in the book is because this book is filled with tough, challenging decisions that I’ve had to make throughout my life, Noem told Sean Hanity in a damage control interview.
[quote]The book’s full title is: “Not Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.”
[quote]“Sean, you know how the fake news works. They leave out some or most of the facts of the story. They put the worst spin on it. That’s what’s happened in this case. I hope people really do buy this book...I make tough decisions.”
