Kristi Noem is getting slammed for details revealed in her new memoir, on everything from killing her own dog to claims on meeting Kim Jong Un and being threatened by Nikki Haley. Now, a Republican fundraiser featuring the South Dakota governor as keynote speaker has been canceled, after a Colorado GOP group says they, Noem and her staff, and the Denver Marriott West received "numerous threats and/or death threats," reports NBC News. "After a conversation with the Governor's office late Wednesday, we mutually decided that safety was the most important concern for everyone involved," Jefferson County Republican Party chief Nancy Pallozzi said in a Friday statement about the planned event for the next day.

A much watered down bill, and only after a righteous public outcry. She has always put her big donors first. She was never a real conservative.
No reason to Veto that bill.
After public outcry, Weaker Executive orders came from Noem.
Weaker being the emphasized term.
Yes, absolutely
I would suggest holding the fund raiser with lots of armed guards inside and outside.
I’ve become a bigger fan. 🙂
To the point they would allow a vicious dog to remain alive? It's kind of hard to love a dog that is untrainable, and violent to yourself and others. What difference is it if the owner chooses to put a dog like that down themselves, instead of paying a vet to do it? The owner knows the dog's behavior patterns well, and has the ways and means, and also the immediate control of the situation to take the dog down. Why take the risk of waiting for a vet to do it, not knowing if the dog, in the meantime will act-out violently again, and bite someone else, even vet staff when it's taken to be put down? In reality, sticking a needle into an animal to put it to sleep is not any more humane than quickly shooting it. I had a sick 19 year old cat that didn't go to sleep after the doctor had administered the shot, and the vet ended up taking him out back to complete the process. How humane was that to my cat? That is something I will never forget, and for years I've told myself he wasn't ready to die yet.
I've had other pets that I have had to put down because they were sick. I took him to the Cornell vet center for tests to see what options I had. When I picked him up two days later, he developed a terrible upper respiratory infection (from the nasal biopsy they'd done). I made an emergency appointment to have him seen. They put him on antibiotics to make him more comfortable. After that, I decided I wasn't going to put him through the chemo treatments for the nasal cancer he had. He had already been through enough, so I chose to let him be as comfortable as possible during the time he had left. In other words quality of life, not quantity.
What quality of life did Noem's dog have to look forward to, or its owner, not knowing when the next violent incident would occur, to what extent it would be, or who would be on the receiving end? I'd rather someone take responsibility, and admit they put their own bad animal down, than individuals who let their pets run wild, then cry when they're killed by a car, or attacked by another animal, then want to blame their pet's death on someone or something else.
I never heard of him before he entered the primaries. At least when Trump threw his hat in the ring in 2015, he was already well-known in the world. I didn't like him at the time, mainly because he'd been married three times...similar to my ex-husband. It wasn't until I started listening to him speak that I became a big fan. He's never been afraid to speak the truth, or to say things that others were too chicken to say. He's taken plenty of punches for us over the years, and I will proudly vote for him a third time in November. I left the GOP after 40+ years in the aftermath of January 6th, and I will never join that party again. Trump is the only thing holding the GOP together. When he is no longer part of the political scene, the GOP will hopefully realize that the Republican Party actually died a long time ago when they decided to ignore their constituents.
Next time let daddy or brother take care of the dog.
I’m liking Doug Bergum
Kristi Noem: I shot a puppy and a goat and 3 horses. It was a busy day.
Can’t wait for tomorrow.
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
The book on how to suicide your political career.
Only among individuals who like to dictate how someone should lead their life, and choose to be judgmental when that person doesn't behave as they think they should. Liberals like to do that...a lot.
The guy Cheney shot didn’t die from the gunshot, for the record.
“when he killed his friend” Es un broma?
Dick Cheney did not kill anybody-he accidentally shot a friend he was bird hunting with-minor injury-do you not remember the incident? I thought everyone did, since the press practically called him an assassin when it happened...
...... In the future .... Speaking of their Political Prowess .... Historians will proclaim .... ".....Republicans are very clumsy beasts."

Judgement isn’t always a bad thing. 😏
There's good and bad judgement. I don't believe Noem hurt another person when she made the judgement to put down her own dog.
Yeah, it does make you wonder. Amazing how fast she's become politically radioactive.
