100%. she is dead in the water
In the past, rural farm people had to do this sort of thing all the time. I imagine they still do sometimes today.
A ridiculous own goal.
It’s good she took herself out of the running before we had another Mitt Romney like story about putting the dog in a box on top of the car.
A pretty face but not too sharp.
COSMICALLY Stoopid career destroyer.
(Good)
She didn’t fully follow the old advice.
Shoot. Shovel. Shut up.
No pun intended...
If you read the entire passage from her book, she didn't just shoot a puppy because it wasn't trained.
The dog had killed other animals and attacked other people. I'm not convinced the dog needed to be put down, but it isn't quite as bad and most are making it out to be.
But Kristi is disqualified in my eyes for being tone deaf enough to not realize that including this story in her autobiography was just asking for a heap of trouble.
The media are trying to pick our candidates again.
That dog won’t hunt.
That goes on all the time and it is humane
Still, I wouldn’t have put that in a book.
She never had a shot to start with.
She should have shot, shoveled and shut up. Shooting these bad actor animals is OK with me. But will be misunderstood by millions of pet loving Democrats and Republicans too. Who will never get that these matters are done much rougher on a ranch or farm.
The left trying to eliminate anyone and everyone from the VP and soon his cabinet.
She shot a puppy?
I have shot marauding dogs. But a puppy? Dang.
Lie like The Media...
The "puppy" was the human equivalent of 18 years old.
You know - like a month-old human baby. /s
I’m sure Cricket will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. Waiting to sink her fangs into Noem’s leg.
I am not a fan of her, but fact she put down a mean dog doesn’t bother me at all.. if anything it probably improves my opinion of her a bit.
I don’t want her as VP, but this incident is exactly what we need in leadership, people who realize there are bad animals out there and you don’t treat them with kid gloves, you put them down.
Don’t get me wrong I fully understand why this would be a problem politically, with all the soft panty waste voters out there, and I have ZERO desire for her to be VP... but on this particular matter, doesn’t bother me at all, that’s what you do with a bad animal, period.
It was a stupid thing to do, a stupid thing to say and if she gets on the ticket, I might have to vote for Trump and work hard against her. But I won’t let someone like that near the Oval Office without letting everyone I know know that she’s a bust as a human being. Biden’s humanity is already well known.

Just going to cut-n-paste this every time it shows up...
Politician writes several books.
Liberal media finds ONE paragraph to exploit. Repeats endlessly.
Mass of people who don’t really care repeat endlessly.
What actually happened and why no longer matters.
Dogs who turn aggressive and have a bite history will be rejected by most shelters and cannot be retrained or re-homed.
Of course, FR’s own “We hate Noem” club won’t care either. Any rumor or innuendo they can use again her, they will repeat like a bunch of dyspeptic harbor seals.
Does she have issues as a politician? Yes. Is this one of them? No.
