Hark! It’s More Kristi Noem Book Drama
Barf Bag: The infamous book in which the South Dakota Governor voluntarily shares that she executed her dog, Cricket, has more weird stories.

One week ago, we learned that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) wrote in her own book that she shot and killed a 14-month-old puppy meant to be a hunting dog because it was “untrainable” and tried to bite her. I regret to inform you that there’s more Noem Nonsense to report, including potential fabrications in said book about other lawmakers. But first: #PuppyGate Updates. (Yes, another #PuppyGate.)
Noem has been doubling and tripling down on why she had to drag the young dog named Cricket to a gravel pit and execute her, rather than trying to find Cricket a new home. She told Fox News that it was a “working dog, not a puppy” and was “extremely dangerous,” so she had to put the wirehaired pointer down for her children’s sake.
I like how the puppy gets more vicious with each re-telling https://t.co/7GU4johRLb
