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.

I think these were local dogs that ran together in a pack because someone came looking for the one I shot. Still dangerous in a pack.

“You take it to the vet.” Why? Shooting a dog in the head is instant death for the dog.

I would take it to the vet because it isn’t legal to fire a gun on my property. But on a ranch?

Also, my husband talked to the man and explained what happened and how upset I was. The man would have done the same thing. People need to keep their dogs home even in rural farm country.

So the leftists press extract just enough from a story to deliberately put it out of context to make a political adversary look bad.

And all the urbanites and suburbanites who have no concept of life in the country fall for it.

Got it.

will hinder president Trump should he pick her

I find it hilarious how such angst and hysteria over Noem and Trump sets FReeperville on fire with all the so called political experts here actually thinking Noem would be picked for VP. They put too much faith in the BS the media keeps feeding them.......

Kinda like listening to all the women gossip mongers at the plant I used to work in....LOL!

Yep...In sheep country, even Snoopy would be in great danger whilst traipsing through a pasture.

You’re wrong. And you’re wrong.

Not dangerous? Murdered chickens beg to differ.

Too lazy to properly train it? You should know she adopted this dog UNTRAINED from its original owner. You should know that at 14 months - you ain’t gonna untrain a dog from its bad habits. Bad habits from the previous owner. Noem tried, she really did, but there was nothing to be done.

You should know a lot of things, but you don’t. Try to know what you’re talking about before stepping in it as you’ve done here.

She is a huntress who kills animals for fun. She had a naturally low threshold for killing the dog and the goat and likely even welcomed the opportunity.

Noem is a clueless moron. Regardless of how you feel about killing a dog whose behavior you don't like - as opposed to training it or giving it away to someone willing to train it - you have to be an absolute, blithering idiot not to understand that large numbers of voters will find your actions highly objectionable and will not vote for you as a result.

No.
You’re wrong.

AKC says,
Puppy
A dog under 12 months of age

You don’t need to apologize.

She wants to be VP. That’s the country not the tiny state population she tries to lead.

It was pretty dead until she decided to remind everyone about it.

Yes.
Vet - $200
.22 - 50-cents

No-brainer
Not a pun.

Farmers know.
City- folk don’t.

Once a dog kills a chicken, there is a future risk to either more chickens or children. If it bites the owner after killing the chicken - and the owner has children,
Kill the dog.

Why do you think she wants to be VP?
