Revelation in new book that possible Trump running mate killed ‘untrainable’ hunting dog prompts widespread revulsion

She wrote it in her own book
Sarah Matthews, another Trump aide turned opponent, said: “When I saw tweets about Kristi Noem murdering her puppy, I thought to myself, ‘Damn, one of the other VP contenders’ teams found some oppo,’ until I realized SHE wrote about it in HER book.
“I’m not sure why anyone would brag about this unless they’re sick and twisted.”
The dog was 14 months old
The Guardian revealed Noem’s story, which is contained in a book out next month. In No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem describes her frustrations with Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehair pointer who Noem says ruined a pheasant hunt and killed a neighbouring family’s chickens.
“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, saying Cricket was “untrainable … dangerous” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.
“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”
Noem describes taking Cricket to a gravel pit on her farm and shooting her. Remarkably, Noem then describes how she also chose to kill an unruly, unnamed, un-castrated goat, first botching the job then finishing the animal off with a third shotgun shell.
This is the republican mindset. If something isn’t completely obedient and useful to me personally, it should be destroyed. That’s how they see other humans. Something to be used and then thrown away the moment it becomes inconvenient.
I wouldn’t dehumanize Republicans that much… even they are turning their backs on Noem, which is what most of this article is about.
They quoted two small-time former Trump aides and Meghan McCain who hates Trump. That’s it. There is no “widespread outrage,” it’s literally people who would have criticized anything she does.
If you think conservatives have hearts, I have some oceanfront property to sell you in Ohio.
Conservatives: we want psychopaths to lead us
Conservative: why are you killing puppies??
They truly are brainless
If Trump had said this, they would all be out killing their dogs tomorrow.
Kristi Noem-pathy
The GOP in 2024: “It won’t do what I want, so I guess I’ll kill it”
Tbh I’m just surprised that conservatives are up in arms about this…?
Did you read the article? Conservatives are not “up in arms.” Its two former staffers who already turned against Trump and Meghan McCain. No high-level republicans condemned this, and right-wing psychos are celebrating it on Twitter.
Republicans are ghouls.
On brand for a rebuplican.
Christ almighty, bitch! Just hand it over to a rescue so some suburbanite family can adopt it and give it some love. Wtf?
If she could let the thing she hates live a life of its own, she wouldn’t be a Republican.
Just imagine what she’d do to “unruly” citizens.
