The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem’s soon-to-be released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting.
On the way home from the hunting trip, Noem writes that she stopped to talk to a family. Cricket got out of Noem’s truck and attacked and killed some of the family’s chickens, then bit the governor.
“At that moment,” Noem writes, “I realized I had to put her down.” She led Cricket to a gravel pit and killed her.
She writes, according to the Guardian, that the tale was included to show her willingness to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it has to be done. But backlash was swift against the Republican governor, who just a month ago drew attention and criticism for posting an infomercial-like video about cosmetic dental surgery she received out-of-state.
I wonder how she treats unruly children and people who don’t obey her. 🤔
Pro-life, unless they mouth off or something.
Authoritarian virtue signaling.
I’m willing to murder my dog who else do you think I’m willing to murder? So how about you make me your VP?
No wonder the orange mobster is looking at her. She has the stuff to execute his problems.
Why do these folks keep getting nominated/elected? How long until it’s “the protesters were in the wrong place, so I realized I had to command police to open fire”?
I mean I get why some people feel it’s necessary to put down an aggressive dog, but holy shit, bragging about it just makes you look like a psychopath… when in Rome, I guess 🤷♂️
She was training the dog to hunt pheasants. The dog attacked chickens (pheasants)… And bit her while she was trying to stop it. There was 0 need to kill that dog.
She wasn’t training the dog.
She kept it with her older dogs and expected it to learn from them.
What a rotten cunt.
