According to political observers, Kristi Noem is leading the race to become Donald Trump’s running mate. However, their treatment of animals generates headlines and massive criticism. Now the hardliner followed up: Noem wants to kill Joe Biden’s German Shepherd “Commander”.
Noem suggested this on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “Joe Biden’s dog attacked 24 Secret Service employees,” she told her interviewee. “How many people have to be attacked and dangerously injured before you make a decision about a dog?”
It wouldn’t be the first time for the governor of South Dakota. In her new book, the American politician described how she unceremoniously shot her ‘untrainable’ dog. In it, Noem explains that she actually wanted to train ‘Cricket’ for pheasant hunting. The 14-month-old dog was too boisterous and chased the game away.
Shot in a gravel pit
She then tore apart chickens on a nearby family’s property “like a trained assassin” and snapped at Noem. The gun nut then shot the animal into a gravel pit. With the anecdote in the book, which will be published in the US next month, Noem wants to underline her willingness to do “difficult, messy and ugly” things as a politician when necessary, the report said. Immediately afterwards she did something similar to a ‘bad and mean’ goat that used to chase her children.
The 52-year-old recently spoke out in favor of an absolute ban on abortion, even for minor rape victims. “I don’t believe that a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy,” she said in a TV interview.
Weapons for the granddaughter
Her preference for guns also always makes American Democrats shake their heads. At an event hosted by the NRA gun lobby, the 52-year-old boasted that her then-one-year-old granddaughter already owned guns. “Little Miss Addie” already has a shotgun and a rifle, which she will need soon.
The aspiring Republican party has repeatedly faced criticism for its controversial positions. Noem recently defended her penchant for killing animals on the X platform: “We love animals, but on a farm, tough decisions like this have to be made over and over again,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, a few weeks ago we also had to kill three horses that had been with our family for 25 years.”
