South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem 맥스카지노� a potential running mate for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump 맥스카지노� is getting attention again. This time, it's for a new book where she writes about killing an unruly dog, and a smelly goat, too.The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem's soon-to-be released book, 맥스카지노�No Going Back: The Truth on What맥스카지노�s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.맥스카지노� In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting.She writes, according to the Guardian, that the tale was included to show her willingness to do anything 맥스카지노�difficult, messy and ugly맥스카지노� if it has to be done. But backlash was swift against the Republican governor, who just a month ago drew attention and criticism for posting an infomercial-like video about cosmetic dental surgery she received out-of-state.In her book, Noem writes that she took Cricket on a hunting trip with older dogs in hopes of calming down the wild puppy. Instead, Cricket chased the pheasants while "having the time of her life.맥스카지노�On the way home from the hunting trip, Noem writes that she stopped to talk to a family. Cricket got out of Noem's truck and attacked and killed some of the family's chickens, then bit the governor.Noem apologized profusely, wrote the distraught family a check for the deceased chickens, and helped them dispose of the carcasses, she writes. Cricket 맥스카지노�was the picture of joy" as all that unfolded.맥스카지노�I hated that dog,맥스카지노� Noem writes, deeming her 맥스카지노�untrainable.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�At that moment,맥스카지노� Noem writes, 맥스카지노�I realized I had to put her down.맥스카지노� She led Cricket to a gravel pit and killed her.That wasn't all. Noem writes that her family also owned a 맥스카지노�nasty and mean맥스카지노� male goat that smelled bad and liked to chase her kids. She decided to go ahead and kill the goat, too. She writes that the goat survived the first shot, so she went back to the truck, got another shell, then shot him again, killing him.Soon thereafter, a school bus dropped off Noem's children. Her daughter asked, 맥스카지노�Hey, where's Cricket?맥스카지노� Noem writes.The excerpts drew immediate criticism on social media platforms, where many posted photos of their own pets. President Joe Biden맥스카지노�s reelection campaign surfaced the story on social media alongside a photo of Noem with Trump.The Lincoln Project, a conservative group that opposes Trump, posted a video that it called a 맥스카지노�public service announcement,맥스카지노� showing badly behaved dogs and explaining that 맥스카지노�shooting your dog in the face is not an option.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�You down old dogs, hurt dogs, and sick dogs humanely, not by shooting them and tossing them in a gravel pit,맥스카지노� Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project wrote on X. 맥스카지노�Unsporting and deliberately cruel ... but she wrote this to prove the cruelty is the point.맥스카지노�Noem took to social media to defend herself.맥스카지노�We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,맥스카지노� she said on X. 맥스카지노�Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.맥스카지노�She urged readers to preorder her book if they want 맥스카지노�more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that맥스카지노�ll have the media gasping.맥스카지노�Republican strategist Alice Stewart said that while some Republican voters might appreciate the story 맥스카지노�as a testament to her grit,맥스카지노� it ultimately creates a distraction for Noem.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s never a good look when people think you맥스카지노�re mistreating animals,맥스카지노� Stewart said. 맥스카지노�I have a dog I love like a child and I can맥스카지노�t imagine thinking about doing that, I can맥스카지노�t imagine doing that, and I can맥스카지노�t imagine writing about it in a book and telling all the world.맥스카지노�It's not the first time Noem has grabbed national attention.In 2019, she stood behind the state's anti-meth campaign even as it became the subject of some mockery for the tagline 맥스카지노�Meth. We're on it.맥스카지노� Noem said the campaign got people talking about the methamphetamine epidemic and helped lead some to treatment.Last month, Noem posted a nearly five-minute video on X lavishing praise on a team of cosmetic dentists in Texas for giving her a smile she said she can be proud of. 맥스카지노�I love my new family at Smile Texas!맥스카지노� she wrote.South Dakota law bans gifts of over $100 from lobbyists to public officials and their immediate family.
