Kristi Noem Said She Is Proud to “Support Babies, Moms, and Families.”
Her Record Shows Otherwise, Critics Say.
As #SouthDakota governor, Noem has rejected programs and millions of dollars in federal funds that would have benefited #parents and #children and provided care during #pregnancy.
Critics say her rhetoric is “all hat and no cattle.”
If there's anything I hate most in the world, it's someone who harms those who are most vulnerable.
In this case, #SouthDakota governor #KristiNoem has a depraved heart. Rather than give her dog 'Cricket' to an animal shelter because in her eyes, it was "untrainable" as a hunting dog, she goes shoots the poor pup.
If she does this to a defenseless dog, just think of how she treats her own children. She shouldn't be anywhere near any kind of animal.
While promoting her new children’s book about a puppy, Kimberly Guilfoyle is asked about her friend #KristiNoem She says maybe somebody slipped the puppy murder stuff in Noem’s book to sabotage her and she didn’t see it or know about it.
It is interesting to see how the RWers deal with this story. Watch as it evolves to, "People who DON'T kill their puppies are un-American!"
South Dakota has apologized and will pay $300,000 under a settlement with a transgender advocacy group that sued Gov. #KristiNoem and her health secretary last year after the state terminated a contract with it.
What a way for #Noem to waste taxpayer money by engaging in political #bigotry and #hatred in the first place
This line - although written in jest - pretty much sums up the GOP playbook.
“We really saw this as an opportunity to grab the senseless-dog-execution demographic, and maybe even make some inroads with independent sociopaths and future serial killers. We just didn’t see the blowback coming.”
John Pavlovitz rightly compares the (selective) outrage many Republicans are now expressing at Kristi Noem's braggadocious story about shooting a dog and a goat with the meh, thoughts-and-prayers response of these same folks to yet another school shooting.
"The cognitive dissonance required to rightly rail against the assassination of a puppy, while simultaneously ignoring or explaining away the nearly daily mass shootings of mothers, spouses, brothers, children, and best friends here is a sick marvel to behold."
