South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) took time off Tuesday from killing puppies to try and troll former President Barack Obama, but she only managed to humiliate herself for the entire internet to see.
Obama brought up Noem’s name while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Madison, Wisconsin, noting that had been onstage with Trump when the disgraced ex-president ended a rally in Pennsylvania and danced to music for nearly 40 minutes last week.
“She’s standing there with this weird look on her face like she doesn’t really know what’s going on. It’s like a hostage video,” Obama said to laughter from supporters at the rally.
That comment severely triggered Noem, who decided she’d try and get her revenge on Twitter/X, posting, “I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make a joke about Obama’s failed presidency…or his being besties with Diddy…or how it’s his fault we have Joe Biden in the first place… Then I remembered I just don’t care what @BarackObama thinks!”
That was all it took to set off a torrent of mockery aimed at the dog killer.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) — a.k.a the dog murderer — said Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris would lose badly to convicted felon Donald Trump if she happens to replace President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.
Speaking with Fox News host Jason Chaffetz, Noem remarked, “She has an inability to communicate common sense to the American people, they just can’t relate to her.”
“And so, you know, if Joe Biden steps down and it is Kamala Harris, gosh, you know, that’s going to be an interesting race, because she’s just as bad as he is.”
Inability to communicate? That’s incredibly ironic when you consider Noem was so clueless that she decided to share in a memoir how she shot and killed her family’s 14-month-old dog because he didn’t do what she told him to and sometimes behaved aggressively towards other animals on the family farm.
The sheer hypocrisy of Noem’s comments got her lit up like a July 4th fireworks display on Twitter.
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) — a.k.a the confessed puppy killer angling to be vice president — pathetically tried to suggest that convicted former president Donald Trump had been targeted by the Biden administration and was verbally swatted down by CNN host Erin Burnett Friday evening on the news network.
Noem told Burnett that President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice was responsible for Trump being found guilty of 34 criminal counts this week in a Manhattan court.
“Look at what happened this week, what President Biden and his team have been able to do: To distract America with this trial and we’re not talking about the open border. The fact that President Biden is violating federal law by allowing this…”
Burnett cut Noem off to correct her.
“Governor, I do think it’s important to note that this trial was not brought by Department of Justice, which is bringing a case against President Biden’s son Hunter Biden that starts next week. This case, the Department of Justice did not choose to pursue against Trump.”
“It was brought by New York so you just said that it’s President Biden’s case that’s not true.”
But Noem continued to spin her conspiracy theory.
“We all know that the Obama Administration officials that were moved to this DA’s office in order to bring forward this type of action against President Trump and we all recognize that Hillary Clinton did this exact same thing and she paid a fine for it and instead when it’s president Trump and no crime was committed and he did nothing wrong instead they bring 34 felony accounts and convictions against him. It’s completey different judicial treatment.”
Noem and her fellow Republicans can whine all they want, but the person responsible for Donald Trump’s convictions is Trump himself. He paid hush money to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to hide his affairs with them. He also falsified business records to hide those payments. And then he lied about it in an attempt to boost his chances of winning the 2016 presidential election.
While Republicans may find comfort in blaming others for the actions of their orange savior, the vast majority of Americans see through their bullshit and will vote accordingly come November.
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.
“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.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is widely considered to be on Donald Trump’s shortlist as his 2024 running mate, but a new book Noem has written may have put the kibosh on her chances of ever being anything more than a GOP footnote.
The book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Newsweek reports, features a section in which Noem admits she executed the family’s puppy, Cricket, because the dog didn’t obey her commands.
“Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” Noem reportedly 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 said she tried to control Cricket by using an electronic collar, but the dog didn’t respond to the training, so she gunned it down in cold blood.
Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another.” This made the chickens’ owner cry and Noem financially renumerated them and helped them clean the mess the dog had made.
“At that moment,” Noem said, “I realized I had to put her down.”
Noem even gives a blow by blow description of how she killed the helpless animal.
The excerpt from Noem’s book set off a wave of anger and revulsion on social media, where she was excoriated as “an utterly callous and despicable woman.”
