South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem used to be one of the favorites to be picked as Donald Trump’s running mate for the 2024 election.
Not anymore.
For some reason, a few months before the 2024 election in which she was hoping to be on the ticket as VP, she released a book in which she detailed shooting the family’s pet dog to death.
Noem tried to portray the act as some sort of survival-of-the-fittest fact of farm life, but that’s not really how it’s being interpreted.
Kristi said that the dog had killed one of the neighbor’s chickens, and that is what led her to shoot the dog.
But did the dog know what it was doing?
Was it the dog’s fault?
Was the dog trained properly by the family?
Did Kristi have any other options?
At the end of her passage about killing the dog, Noem indicated that shooting the dog awakened some sort of lust for blood that made her also kill a family goat for being “mean.”
Maybe some people would have been able to brush off the killing of one family pet, but when Noem bragged about killing the family dog and then goat back to back, she didn’t seem relatable…
She seemed crazy.
As a result, her chances of being Trump’s VP have taken an absolute nosedive.
On April 27, Noem was given a 10% chance of being Trump’s running mate according to Polymarket, an online prediction tool.
On April 28, those odds had slipped down to 5%.
As of the time of writing, her odds had gone down even further to just 3%.
Turns out America doesn’t like their politicians bragging about killing family pets.
It seems like most people in America could have predicted that.
Most people not named Kristi Noem.
