South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is facing backlash in Trumpworld after revealing in her memoir that she shot and killed her family dog. The controversial disclosure has raised questions about her political future, including the possibility of being Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024.
In her memoir, Noem describes the dog as aggressive and untrainable, leading her to make the difficult decision to shoot it at a gravel pit. However, the graphic details of the incident have been met with criticism from pet lovers in both parties.
Noem has defended her actions, stating that she acted as a responsible dog owner. But the controversy has put her involvement with the Trump campaign and any potential Cabinet position in jeopardy.
Republicans and strategists have questioned Noem’s judgment and political instincts, with some suggesting that her aggressive push for the VP spot may have backfired. Even Corey Lewandowski, Noem’s main supporter in Trumpworld, may face backlash for defending her actions.
Overall, this revelation has shed light on Noem’s shortcomings and errors in judgment, potentially harming her chances of securing a prominent political position in the future. Pet lovers and political observers alike are closely watching to see how this controversy will impact Noem’s career moving forward.
