Who is Kirsti Noem? Dog controversy and what else to know on day of confirmation hearing
- The farmer and small-business owner turned elected official has made headlines for being a possible vice presidential candidate and killing an "untrainable" dog.
Kristi Noem, the Governor of South Dakota, has been embroiled in controversy due to revelations in her upcoming book, "No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward." In the book, she describes shooting her 14-month-old dog, Cricket, after it exhibited aggressive behavior and killed chickens. This incident has drawn significant criticism from animal rights groups and the public, overshadowing her political activities. Noem, who is also a potential vice presidential running mate for Donald Trump, has defended her actions by stating that tough decisions are part of farm life. This controversy comes at a time when she is also dealing with a lawsuit from a local media outlet over access to public records, further complicating her public image as she navigates her political career and potential national ambitions.
