The story is still developing and not going at all well for South Dakota governor Kristi Noem. It's a public relations disaster of her own making. The Republican right wing are not taking any measures to rescue her. Rather they're dog-piling comments of condemnation. The Guardian newspaper first broke this story, and here is their most recent update:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/kristi-noem-trump-vp-book-killing-dog
Excerpts:
"Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Trump White House staffer turned critic, said: "I'm a dog lover and I am honestly horrified by the Kristi Noem excerpt. I wish I hadn't even read it. A 14-month-old dog is still a puppy and can be trained."
"Sarah Matthews, another Trump aide, said: "I'm not sure why anyone would brag about this unless they're sick and twisted.""
Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Arizona Republican senator John McCain, wrote on X: "All I will distinctly think about Kristi Noem now is that she murdered a puppy who was 'acting up' - which is obviously cruel and insane."
Rick Wilson, a former Republican operative, called Noem "deliberately cruel".
Last but not least, the Lincoln Project (a Republican organization) has released a video statement (linked below), with the following text:
"Dog owners know our furry friends can be a lot to keep up with. But when those tough moments come you have options. Shooting your dog in the face should not be one of them. And if you do happen to shoot your dog in the face, please don't write about it in your autobiography."
Wow! Tough times ahead for Ms. Noem. Her prospects of being selected as Donald Trump's running mate in 2024 have already been damaged. Also seems improbable that she'll be able to run for a continuing term as governor.
