So when North Dakota Governor (and hopeful Trump working mate) Kristi Noem revealed that she murdered puppies in her new ebook, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, she was met with condemnation from either side of the aisle.
Noem writes about killing her 14-month-old wire-haired pointer Cricket as a result of she was “less than worthless” as a searching canine. After making an attempt to coach the canine, Noem shot Cricket in a gravel pit. And was gleeful about it? She wrote, “I hated that dog,” including that her daughter requested the place the canine was after Noem got here home with out her.
Noem by no means discusses rehoming the canine, preserving it as a home pet, and even dropping it off at a shelter. And what’s worse is, that she makes use of this disgusting anecdote for example of “making tough choices” as a politician.
It’s one factor when farmers should euthanize an animal that’s dying. But killing a puppy as a result of it doesn’t do what you say? That’s serial killer conduct proper there. It’s additional proof that Noem isn’t certified to be a canine catcher, a lot much less governor of a state.
People from either side of the aisle have been fast to sentence Noem for her disturbing conduct whereas questioning how on earth she thought this story would go over properly. How disconnected is she from actuality that she thought she would win followers for KILLING A PUPPY? Has she by no means seen John Wick? Does she know that Cruella De Vil will not be the hero of 101 Dalmatians?
The cynical actuality is that Noem possible thought this story would anger the “woke mob” and endear her to the MAGA base. But it seems that almost all Republicans don’t look too kindly on canine homicide. If your conduct is just too excessive for Laura Loomer and Toni Lahren, then you definately’ve gone too far.
Noem is now getting trolled by different governors for her callous conduct:
In response, the Democratic National Committee released a statement studying, “Our message is plain and simple: If you want elected officials who don’t brag about brutally killing their pets as part of their self-promotional book tour, then listen to our owners — and vote Democrat.”
