Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota whose chance of being Donald Trump’s presidential running mate was widely deemed over after she published a description of shooting dead a dog and a goat, claimed reports of the story were “fake news” but also that the dog in question, Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, was “extremely dangerous” and deserved her fate.

“You know how the fake news works,” Noem told Fox News. “They leave out some or most of the facts of a story, they put the worst spin on it. And that’s what’s happened in this case.

American people love animals, especially dogs and cats. I place my golden retriever's life above libtards and any Chinese sympathizers.

Noem should've not even write about that part, she's damged goods now. and will hinder president Trump should he pick her, and i'm sure President Trump will do the right thing.

Which is worse...

Killing an animal which is a threat to family and friends...

or killing the helpless unborn children in the womb?

Democrats equate the killing of innocent and helpless children to the killing of a dog that is dangerous.

She might be right that it was a bad dog. But visuals are worse. She should have kept her mouth shut. Shooting the goat is going to really hurt her among the Muslim community. That's tantamount to killing their girlfriend.

That’s what I find quite stunning. She is that tone deaf that she didn’t think anything of writing about it. Many people these days don’t consider dogs and cats pets. They’re considered family members. I like pets well enough, but to say it’s a member of the family is a little too far for me.

Maybe Kristi should have kept this whole incident to herself. She has demonstrated that her judgement is seriously flawed. I pretty much wrote her off for any higher office when she vetoed the trans sports bill.

She had every right to kill her dog in a humane manner. This being driven by animal rights fanatics who think that the lives of their pets are more important than the issues affecting people, such as transgenderizing kids, wrecking our economy, invading migrants, and useless wars.

She self destructed her political career. She might not even get reelected in south Dakota. Imagine how she will be received at 4H gatherings in rural Republican strongholds.Best if she retires.

Are you in a rural area?
No one is going to disown her in farm country over killing a bad dog.

She thought it would make her look tough. She was wrong. This method may have been understood several decades ago. But, times have changed. She should never have added it.

Amen, Judy. Noem is guilty of being tone-deaf.

From a political POV, that's probably worse than shooting a dog.;-)

If it wasn’t presented in its proper context, then it qualifies as fake news.

Why are so many idiots so wrapped up about this? Good Lord, have we all gone so flipping soft!? A dog is a dog is a dog. I love dogs, but a bad dog needs to be put down. At least she had more balls than a lot of men apparently, and did it herself.
Man up!

She’s right. This is Fake News.

Fake News is described as news that may have an element of truth to it, but it’s slanted and biased to fit some political narrative.

Just wondering, are the vicious dogs you shot waiting for you over the rainbow bridge?

I’d like to see that reunion.
