Kristi Noem's most public murder is her political career

Most people caught bragging about how they took a family dog to a rock quarry and murdered it because they “just hated that dog,” might think about shutting up for a moment. Most people might hope that something horrific would appear in the next news cycle to divert the public spotlight and end painful memes about a puppy mounted like a trophy.

But no one would say that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is like most people.

Noem is still going on the air, not to apologize for her dog murder, but to double and triple down on the importance of shooting a 14-month-old German wirehaired pointer. She’s now claiming that she did it because this dog was a danger to her children and “not a puppy.”
