Trump VP hopeful Kristi Noem suggests Biden's dog Commander should also be put down

KEY POINTS

Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem implied that President Joe Biden should consider putting down his dog Commander due to several incidents involving attacks on Secret Service agents.
Noem is fighting backlash against her decision to shoot her 14-month-old dog Cricket due to its aggressive behavior, as she revealed in her upcoming memoir.
Noem is contending to become presidential candidate Donald Trump’s VP pick, though some have speculated whether her controversial memoir snippets have ruined her chances.

Imagining becoming president in 2025 and sending Mr. Biden’s dog to meet his maker, Ms. Noem added: “Commander, say hello to Cricket for me.”
Noem appears to be targeting the “pro dog killing” portion of the electorate. Time will tell if Trump considers this more of an asset or a liability in his potential running mate.
- What a fucking world we live in... I know it wasn't great for everyone but man I miss 2015.
- As it has been said elsewhere, the 'Becky' segment of white suburban women would happily sacrifice the remaining citizens of Gaza to save one golden-doodle named Noodle.
  I'm pretty sure once "dog-killer" gets onto your resume, that pretty much it for your political career in this country.
  
  Hell I would not be surprised in the least if she was gunned down. Damned near every culture has some level of taboo around killing dogs, breaking that taboo is probably not the smartest move.
- My two cents: Trump idolizes Hitler too much to pick a dog-killing advocate as a running mate
  
  Hitler had his dogs killed to test the potency of the cyanide pills he was about to take because the Russians were knocking on his bunker door.
  Also, trump hates dogs- and they hate him, too.

Doubling down on the puppy killing.
Fucking BRILLIANT strategy.

"Welcome to Republican politics, would you prefer to hand over your soul or your brain?"
Kristi Noem: "Take em both, I'm not using em."

Someone needs a muzzle and it ain't the dog with 4 legs

Noem can't stop digging the hole she dug herself. Let's hope this is career suicide we're witnessing. And South Dakota had one of the worst death rates in the country during covid thanks to Kristi Noem.

Commander should pay a visit on behalf of Cricket. Noem is a sick fuck and another Russian agent.

Go for it, psycho. I'll make popcorn.

I remember when Republicans were afraid of death panels.
