A 2021 Twitter post from Hillary Clinton went viral on social media over the weekend after resurfacing in response to South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem admitting that she once murdered a pet puppy who failed to obey her commands.
Noem made the admission in a soon-to-be-published autobiography.
“Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” Noem … wrote, adding that the dog, a female, had an “aggressive personality” and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant.
She wrote that she took Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs to calm the animal and help it learn how to behave. But on the hunt, Cricket went “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life.”
Noem’s response was to take the puppy to a gravel pit and blow its brains out.
Here’s Clinton’s 2021 tweet:
That led to reaction from others on Twitter after the former secretary of state’s posting was once again making the rounds.
