Excerpt from townhall.com
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has descended into the seventh circle of public relations hell. It’s entirely her doing. The woman who some had tapped to be on the shortlist for Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate wrote in her memoir, No Going Back, that she shot and killed her dog Cricket after his allegedly vicious demeanor left her with no choice. The dog was trash at pheasant hunting and then went on a rampage, killing chickens belonging to Noem’s neighbor.
Noem is adamant that Cricket wasn’t a puppy, as initially reported, and she chose her family’s safety above all else. It’s an unforced error—did she really need to share this story? People love dogs and hate dog killers. It’s not that hard. Based on what’s been reported on how Cricket was dealt with, I think of the scene in The Walking Dead, except it’s Noem telling Cricket to “look at the flowers.”
