Kristi Noem Continues To Get Savagely Roasted For Shooting Dog

Kristi Noem should probably stay off social media for the foreseeable future.

The South Dakota Republican Governor has been getting crushed after she decided to write in her upcoming book about shooting her dog Cricket.

Noem claims the 14-month-old dog was a terrible hunting animal that killed her neighbor's chickens and showed aggression towards her. In response, Noem took it to a gravel pit and executed it.

For some reason, she seemed to think sharing the bloody story (she also shot a goat during the same incident) would show her leadership skills. Instead, it turned her into public enemy number one.

Kristi Noem continues to face fire online.

Despite the newscycle about Cricket being several days old at this point, Noem can't tweet anything without getting destroyed.

Check out some of the responses she's still getting online, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

I can't think of a single topic or thing that unites people more in America than dogs. They're the most majestic creatures you'll ever find. They put food on the table, provide comfort and security and we take them to war with us.

Nobody has ever been on the verge of getting in a gunfight and said, "Hurry up and get some cats."

Yet, Kristi Noem decided to use executing Cricket as an example of just how tough she is. I hope she fired whoever was dumb enough to tell her it was a smart idea to put that in her book.

She took the one thing all Americans - Republicans or Democrats - love and talked about shooting it in a gravel pit. It was an all-time stupid decision from a politician.

Now, she's getting crushed no matter what she tweets. The internet has made her a marked woman, and that's bad news for her on social media. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
