It doesn’t happen often, but Donald Trump seems to have finally come up against a topic that has left him speechless, something that doesn’t happen very often.
The problem?
Recent comments by (former) VP candidate Kristi Noem.
The Republican Governor from South Dakota currently has a petition out for her removal from office, something that had been signed by over 23,000 people as of May 10.
Kristi Noem recently put out a book entitled “No Going Back.”
Almost immediately after releasing it, she probably wished that she could go back.
In fact, ironically, the book titled “No Going Back” has already gone back and is going to go through some edits soon.
The edits were regarding some passages about meeting with the leadership of North Korea, although that isn’t the thing that has caused her the most problems.
In the book, Kristi Noem details killing her own family’s pets, and Americans aren’t too keen on that idea.
Noem and her family owned a 14-month-old hunting dog named Cricket.
While out for a walk one day, Cricket attacked a neighbor’s chicken and killed it.
This act of violence, coupled with Noem’s assertion that Cricket was “less than worthless” as a hunting dog, is what Noem is using as justification for killing the dog.
The liberal group MoveOn wrote a petition demanding that Noem be removed from office as a result of her admission.
It’s gaining steam quickly.
Despite only being out for a short time, the petition has collected thousands and thousands of signatures very quickly.
“Animal abusers should not be in office!” the petition says. “Tell Noem to step down as governor immediately! … This most recent stunt confirms what we already know—Noem isn’t fit to be in office. There is no excuse for what Noem did to Cricket. She may not think her tough-on-crime approach should apply to her own misconduct, but, together, we can hold her responsible.”
Noem was once one of the favorites to be Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024.
However, she has probably dug herself too big of a hole to climb out of with her sick admission that she regularly shot and killed her family’s pets in the past.
If Donald Trump was still as keen on Noem as he once was, he probably would have come out in support of her by now.
Instead, Trump has stayed completely silent on the issue.
When a man like Trump who isn’t afraid of giving his opinion about everything is even staying away from a situation, you know things have gotten really sticky.
Has Noem sunk her own ship?
Or maybe she’s even damaged the entire Republican Party.
Only time will tell how much of an impact Kristi Noem shooting her family dog has on America’s Republican Party.
