When Republican Gov. Kristi Noem proudly bragged about shooting her puppy in her new memoir, what she may have actually done was kill her chance at being Donald Trump’s VP. At least this time, it was an accident.
Ever since The Guardian first reported that the MAGA politician, and potential Trump running mate had written a gruesome account about executing her puppy into her new memoir, Noem has been lambasted online, including by several members of her own party.
Alyssa Farrah Griffith, the Trump administration’s former director of strategic communications, wrote that she was “horrified” by the story, in a post on X. “A 14-month old dog is still a puppy & can be trained. A large part of bad behavior in dogs is not having proper training from the humans responsible for them.”
