- South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem continues to face backlash about the controversy surrounding a story in her new memoir where she mentions killing her puppy. #CNN #News
Im a native american from South Dakota and would like to sue Noem for defamation. She has been lying and this why the Tribes has banned her from our tribal lands. Just a thought.
No you're not because Indians wouldn't use the term native American
Will she be the next governor? If she thinks she's, she'll continue to lie.
Canines are brothers and sisters, our relation. You don't kill your relations.
@@paulpaul9226I'm Native too. Deal with it.
Is that true ??
The truth is that she couldn't be bothered with proper training for her puppy. She is a horrible human being.
She was mad and took revenge on a puppy for embarrassing her over attacking the neighbor's chickens. Who takes revenge on a puppy? A horrible human being/sociopath!
Do we even know that story is true? Is she again inventing something (admittedly truly debased) to try to appeal to what she thinks MAGA will consider.....impressive?
These unpopulated states elect some utter wackos!
She could have sold the dog or given it away but no she wanted to kill it. I wonder how many bones are in her gravel pit that she is responsible for ? I also wonder if any human remains would be found there. Anyone who brags about killing a 14 month old puppy might be unhinged enough to kill people as well. You never know until you look.
I train working dogs. Medication such as trazodone can calm a pupper down so it can pay attention to training. Like giving Adderall to a kid with ADHD. Some of my best retrievers have been pups with attention deficit disorder. Once they can focus they make GREAT working dogs!!
I'm from South Dakota and we want her removed from office. She is a disgrace and completely unhinged.
Agreed
And you still living in your Moms' teepee..... 🥴
Ok. Don’t vote here back in!
She’s right I don’t blame her CNN is the worst fake news ever😁😆😁
I'll be very surprised if south dakotans are smart enough to vote for a Democrat in order to remove her from office.
She’s on a book tour and no longer wants to discuss the book. Riiight . . .
😂😅😊
It's so wild that that she went forward with the book tour after all the shit from the book came out.
Unlike this creepy woman, dogs have pride! A Sheep dog is way smarter than this pathetic excuse for a human being.
@@2011blueman soooo wild. Like wow!
Republican logic...😂😂
she isn't 'taking heat for the memoir' she is taking heat for being abjectly vile.
For non stop lying.
I didn't know much about her before the book, now that I've seen her smirking condescencion, arrogance and combativeness I see why she's a hateable person.
At this point I don't think Republicans/GOP cares .. They feel like they can lie,hate,or cheat and nothing will happen, look at trump minor consequences.
Is anyone really listening to her lies. She has trump fever.
well said
One of the nice things about Kamala is she’s not a sociopath
😂 true
Really? She hid evidence that would have set a man sitting on death row free. After the victims of the Catholic Church couldn’t have charges filed due to the statute of limitations. They wanted to take the church to civil court. Kackeling Kamala sealed all the evidence so the victims couldn’t have access to them. She claimed it was to protect the victims…. Those victims wanting the evidence. Pretty sociopathic but I could go on and on and on with more stories.
Edit to add: she sealed all the evidence and in the same year took a very large donation for her Congressional run from that same Catholic Church.
I'm not so sure about that. Biden should have tapped Bernie unless he would have rather stayed in the Senate.
Sociopath or Psychopath? Discuss....
@@emillion4470 Sure, why don't you start us off then.
can someone please get this excuse of a human out of office? charged with animal abuse. it should not be allowed to get away with murdering an innocent puppy.
Every time I think about the finality of her disgusting act the outrage washes over me anew. The poor beautiful dog. That poor misused goat. Those poor old horses.
I’m sure she thinks of old people in the same way as she thinks of her old horses. It’s ironic that she doesn’t see how utterly worthless she is.
Yes, and the poor goat and horses shouldn't be forgotten either.
@@missJolie85 omg there were more?????
@@roguephoenix Yeah, I don't know where in the book the horses come in, but the goat was right after the dog. She missed and injured him at first, and had to get back to her truck to get more b*llets. The goat was smelly according to her, so she was on a roll, so why not clean up both things.
Drumps seed enjoy trophy hunting ..... Where are these monsters from ...what planet ??
Did they ban brains in South Dakota? What world leaders has she met? WALLEYWORLD?
I doubt she has met any Head of State
I think people in South Dakota can't think anymore.
She just wants to say you met All these leaders but wont discuss it she is a big fat liar
She met a lot of dickheads, literally and figuratively.
Hilairous that Noem cannot legally travel to more than 10% of the state she governs. She is legally barred from entering multiple different tribal lands.
No Sir. She is BANNED from 10% of her state - the tribal lands.
The comeuppance is beautiful.
@@Dingbat-tb5wz I actually purposely used barred over banned to avoid any arguments from anyone saying that it's illegal against her.
Banning makes an action outright illegal. While barring is to prevent the action from happening. You're arguing semantics with me and getting mad at someone who actively will come on UA-cam to denounce her. Pick your battles.
That says a lot about her. She's sick. Like make me wanna cry sick.✝
@@Dingbat-tb5wzthey are the lucky ones
She is upset that people refuse to think that her story is normal and acceptable.
CNN can't have it both ways. They're saying she lied about meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un. O.K. But she's not lying about killing a dog? I wish everyone wold leave her alone and let her do what she does best. And I wish CNN would make up their mind. Is her book full of lies or the truth.?
laudable
Apparently, she thinks it’s normal to murder a puppy
The witch told the story and now mad because people didn't clap for her.
Also her made up rule that "I don't discuss meetings with world leaders" despite the fact she's a public servant - that's not how public office works Kristi, that's what dictators do.
Her record with South Dakota native Americans is also abysmal. She’s been BANNED from their reservations.
Killing a dog is already terrible enough but it was also a puppy? How do you expect this person to show any compassion towards Americans? She is vile
Nope, CNN is lying. The dog was full grown and vicious. Stop spreading lies you fool.
It was 14 months old. So not a puppy.
@@joeblow2069 1-2 years for a dog is considered a puppy.
@@beobe99 Dogs are full grown at a year.
Calling the dog a puppy is not honest because it implies a little baby. She is also dishonest by claiming the dog is a year and a half.
Bottom line is that a dog that age is full grown.
@@joeblow2069 Her dog was a wired hair pointer, a large dog, that according to the Kennel Club of America is fully grown at around 18 months. I understand what you mean, 14 months does seem fully grown, but it's not when you actually research those that study the growth of dogs versus using what you THINK as "fact" or as you stated "the bottom line"...
Kristi seems combative, aggressive and less than smart….what a lethal combination 🤦🏾♀️
Perfect running mate for Trump!
Just like habba dabba doo
Hmmm, that reminds me of someone else. Is it Donald Gump or Don Gotti or Genghis Con?
@cjn3502 she literally wanted people to talk about this. She's on record saying For more stories the media won't cover, get this book I'm actively promoting.
Now she's crying because her play to come off like a gun-toting badbutt backfired and the story is being covered. Now here we go with the "MEE DI UH!!" sheep bleat.
It didn't take long😁🤦🏾♂️🤡🌎
perfect for Trump
Why would world leaders want to meet with Noem? What is her value in geopolitics?
She couldn’t prevent the Mexican President from closing the Egyptian border to Palestinian refugees .That’s for sure
As governor of South Dakota she is expected to meet with foreign leaders and have an international profile. Apparently.
She can see Canada from her backyard! :)
This is untrue hype trying to sell her book and just more phony self promotion.
They don’t
She's too clueless to understand her killing her dog and how the story keeps changing is what's ridiculous.
Are there no animal cruelty laws in South Dakota?
She claims everything she did is perfectlly legal in SD!
Just shows how ppl there are outright jerks and animal killers.
Laws don't apply to maga apparently.
A moment of silence for Cricket the pup!
She just doesn’t get how ridiculous she sounds. It’s kind of like when someone interviews a MAGA supporter. Clueless.
@Kevin-hy8ok, Coming from someone that advocates killing near birth babies 🙄
She sounds exactly like Kellyanne.
@@naylas3908Kellyanne just keeps talking over anyone attempting to interview her. Noem is less nimble, but also entirely shameless like Kellyanne.
LOL It's Stuart that sounds ridiculous. Who are clueless are people that think this dead dog story is important. Reminiscent of libs clutching their pearls about the Romneys having the dog in carrier on the roof of the family station wagon when Mitt was a boy. OHHH! The horror! 😲 😂
It’s almost like 45. 🤔 Funny how that works.
This woman is ridiculous.
She is indeed a sociopathic POS - apparrantley even her own state despises her.
She is ridiculous
And half of America apparently.
A prime example of a psychopath.
WHERE DOES THE GOP FIND THESE GIMPS?
During the height of the pandemic she made sure that her state hosted a superspreader event, the annual motorcycle rally at Sturgis.
She's a sociopath
My thoughts exactly
Yep.
She reminds me a lot of Trump both are liars and do evil things.
100 percent
Did u vote pro choice? You voted for the murder of 60 million babys. God says your a sociapath
Noem has lied for so long she is unable to tell the truth.
just like trump...
2 peas in a pot...
She is such a stupid trick.
@@mikivanduyn9630
Your reading comprehension skills suck
Don't forget "honest" George Santos.
Perfectly said. Lies so deep they're part of her reality.
Just to be clear. Not EVERYONE 'has known for years.' My first INKLING that there even WAS a dog/puppy was when someone quoted Kristi from HER book. I'm probably NOT the only one who found out about this ONLY through Kristi Noem's book. Now, one thing I HAVE known for years is that anyone who has CLEARLY had that many plastic surgeries WILL have them go bad as she ages. THAT I did know.
Good point.
South Dakotans. Is this your best and brightest? Sad!
Her actions were that of a person who does not possess the light of a soul within. This seems prevalent among most of MAGA.
💯% background people…no souls
Priceless coming from a person that's probably pro abortion.
Thank you!❤
They also reeked of entitlement - her smirking condescension, combative posture and tripling down on PUPPY MURDER - pure arrogance.
Couldn't agree more. They're Christnos, Christian in name only.
Noem has also been banned from a great portion of the State of SD land. She is banned from setting foot on Native American lands.....She is the Governor of SD??. My God Save you all in SD.
If they catch her sneaking in will they try and jail her or something worse?
@@slimjimmyification Well according to her, if an animal goes rabid just take it out to the quarry...
There may be on or two on Native Land.
Just saying, what's good for the goose...
In her own words.
The dog wasn't rabid..it was just a untrained hunting dog
@@Petequinn741 And the goat just was odoriferous.......
@@slimjimmyification If nothing else, they can escort her off. Depends on what their own law enforcement allows on their own territory.
She's clearly a liar!
That is really embarrassing for the people of South Dakota...!
You guys need to impeach that broad.
So! You got AOC, Corey Bush, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Thalib, adam schiff (we are sure he's really a man yet). Theres more. The list goes on. And your limp noodle is an embarrassment to USA.
If she won't talk about the book, what the heck is she doing on a book tour?
Trying to avoid gotcha questions like "did you actually ever meet that person you bragged about meeting" or "is what you chose to say in your book true?" At this rate the next interview she has, she'll flip out if they ask how to spell her name.
She backed out of facing Dana Bash though. Too scared.
She cancelled her book tour
@@sprig5173Dana Bash is one if those that spread the Russia hoax story.
@@sprig5173I like that Dana Bash is more than ready and has more to ask about than the various animals she killed and the dictator she never met (though it's great that was covered--which was greatly needed--though my brain perked up at knowing more about other aspects of the book that might also be relevant to her VP run).
Also, Trump has given no indication of excluding her from the running.
Hide your dogs folks !
When she asked do you want to talk about something else? They should have asked about the deaths in her state during covid.
The root of fascism is deeply entangled in our government.
The saddest part about her Kim Jon in story
Is that it shows how ignorant she is about politics, about general knowledge and anything related to the us relation to the outside world
The fact that she did not know that very very few American government representatives have met Kim Jon un, is the saddest part
CNN can't have it both ways. They're saying she lied about meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un. O.K. But she's not lying about killing a dog? I wish everyone wold leave her alone and let her do what she does best. And I wish CNN would make up their mind. Is her book full of lies or the truth.?
Really? I thought the saddest part was how she associated Sunday School students with the false god of North Korea...
She is pandering to stinky dump. She knows he met him so she is seeking common ground. "Hey I met your lover too! Pick me!"
A Botox study showed that once you paralyze a muscle related to an expression, the emotion associated with use of that expression becomes marginalized. Should be a warning on the Botox label ...
My study of staring at many folks with the obviously ridiculous amounts of Botox in their faces is that they look unreal, odd, and sometimes freakish. Maybe there's a correlation with the Botox study you mentioned.
Noem has had a lot of botox and fillers. Looks weird as she is.
That face looks like a paint by numbers job
Yeah, kind of like celebrity dieters' Ozempic face. 😂
I was astounded when a young woman told me she’d had a Botox treatment. I couldn’t tell, and surely she hadn’t needed it. But she said if you wait until you need it, you’re too late. That’s when you get the fake look.
Did he just call the DMZ the DMV? I’ve been to both. One star each. Do not recommend.
Who published this book for her? I bet they're SUPER HAPPY about her needing print retractions BEFORE the book is even able to be purchased by the public.
Must be the only book in history where the publishers have to tell buyers fhat it is packed full of lies!
And seeing the lying author with her picture on the back flap. Laughable!
@@beecnul8r No, Mark Meadows also wrote a book and now his publisher is actually suing him because he sold them a work of fiction.
“ Defend him without debasing themselves”?! Excuse me, Tim Scott has already TOTALLY debased himself.
FACTS, Tim Scott is a ghoulish goon!
Even George Santos never said he starred down Kim Jong Un.
Excellent point
A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie. What's to debate???
The publisher has re-edited her book. It's now titled "No Going Forward".
Inbreeding leads to infighting. Vote Blue
🤭🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
Well, it's kind of the dems that are too blame here. She had a private meeting with Kim Jon Un and she can't discuss it so she's a liar? Next the dems will say she wasn't a church pastor! I think the truth is somewhere in the pages of her book. You should get a copy.
vote blue if you dont want a country anymore
@@buckz55 Vote red if you want a convicted rapist to run the U.S.
Noem's book tour has been a trainwreck.
Are you kidding? It's all anyone is ever talking about. She's getting. booked on more shows and doing more interviews than anyone else is right now. It's kind of a major success.
@@beckydoesit9331 just because they're talking about it doesn't mean they're buying it, except maybe the MAGAts.
@@beckydoesit9331 you think trump likes being outshined? lol
So she’s perfect for Trump
@@beckydoesit9331 That doesn't mean people will buy it - talking about it and buying it are two different stories.
She's so angry, I hope she's not armed. We know what happens when she gets mad.
Say goodbye to your public life, Governor Noem. You'll never see the end of this.
Clearly she didn't stop to think that even the far right loves their dogs
She doesn’t think. She is a bimbo with good looks who wants to look tough for the masses of MAGA crowd.
She hates dogs
All she's proven is that she's capable of brutality
I think that was the point, turns out maga is a little more human than she thought
@@trappedinamerica7740 I agree, but the ability to calculate what's good or bad is missing.
Must be of the opinion that most Americans shoot their pets when they grow tired of them, sickos. Woke is better than brain dead.
And Biden isn't? He's greenlighting the murder of ten-thousands of people right now.
Not "capable" but has proven she is very capable!
There are more than a few loose screws banging around in her head!
The most important thing for a democracy to survive is to elect or appoint public officials with integrity.
So why did she think anyone would want to read a book about her in the first place?
She's tired of it? Because she's a liar, she wasting the interviewers time and insulting the viewers.
bullseye
She brought it on herself
Too bad because it's not going away. Talk about not reading the room - does she not know we Americans are coocoo about our dogs? FFS there's an entire aisle of dog toys in my local Walmart and I live in a ruby red county.
Karen can't handle the truth like her favorite whining orange mentor.
That's what it looks like when your political career is on the same trajectory as the Titanic.
And Donald's is on that same trajectory 😂😂😂
or Trumpland.
The thing that's really ridiculous is South Dakota having Kristi Noem as State Governor, good luck washing that stain off.
I went to the "DMV" but I didn`t see Kim there ...
Noem is "insane" she keeps going on Libral and Conservative news shows telling the same lies over and over expecting folks to believe her. It's so cringe worthy.
It worked for Trump, so she figured she could do it, too.
The republican prerequisite: tell the biggest lie and defend it.
And keep repeating it. All fools
I have yet to hear her defend the Kim Jong Un lie.
@@tonyduran4293 I remember RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA
RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA
And tell us how your traitor in the WH has done in destroying this economy, this country, people's lives not to mention causing the highest inflation in 50 years and starting two wars!!! Yeah - that's sure fine work right??!!
Kristi is everything a parent hopes their child doesn't become. Grovelling at the feet of a dictator by writing that she will be violent.
This woman should be fired and put in an HONEST work program!
Word coming in from South Dakota is that no one recalls Noem's puppy killing story, so once again she tries to prove that she isn't a liar by lying.
Typical maga

@@harryfarber6435Ypur whataboutism is noted. Still doesn’t work to take attention off your orange sleaze Jezuz and off puppy killing Noem!🤷♂️
Boy! There's nothing that would make me feel better than to find out that the whole doggie, goat and horse story was a hoax that she fabricated just to make the point that she says she's trying to make.
I love all animals but I have a soft heart for dogs 🐕❤️ my friends from years and years. What she did it's cruelty against animals. It's not acceptable 😔😡
And if she’s cruel to animals, she is also cruel to people
"I'm not going to discuss my meetings with foreign governments." I'm just going to write it out and lie.
This is the most I’ve seen of our governor, she’s never here😂
Oh snap, journalists asking questions and not giving a softball interview, the nerve!
Noam’s career went down faster than the Titanic.
well she went down on Trump but she only got 5 seconds becuase so many others wanted time on the mushroom
@@davidrobertson4332 Ewww that’s disgusting! 🤮 🤮🤮

She needs to stop with the Botox. Was she a extra in The House of Wax?
You mean House of Wacks!
@@alonzocalvillo6702 Brilliant. I'm going to steal that!!!!
Noem is done ✔️
She thinks that by tripling down and denying it that reality will bend to her demands.
is the Honorable governor related to George Santos?
You can go to prison for killing pets in most states , that football player who had dog fights , went to prison for shooting one of his dogs , 3 years
She has single-handedly ended her political career by writing an auto-biography. Wow.
Next she'll say she can see North Korea from her house, when citing foreign relations experience. Or maybe she'll blame Kim Jong Un for her dog.
CNN can't have it both ways. They're saying she lied about meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un. O.K. But she's not lying about killing a dog? I wish everyone wold leave her alone and let her do what she does best. And I wish CNN would make up their mind. Is her book full of lies or the truth.?
😂
🤣
That’s because the earth is flat..😅
@@7demo7review My sense is she'd happily claim that if it would help her politically, assuming she doesn't already believe it.
Noem is on a "Book Tour" but does not want to discuss what's in the book?
WTF!
Life in South Dakota sounds very strange.
Maybe she thinks just making shit up would appeal to Donald who s the world champion of lying.
Undisputed!
She likes to tell you what her reality is. Remind you of anyone? Like someone who tells you how many golf tournaments he's won, or how big his apartment is? Or that he should have got the Nobel peace prize, or been carved onto Mount Rushmore? Why bother figuring it out for yourself?
CAn she not have charges against her brought for animal cruelty?
As a fellow South Dakotan, who has been in the room with Kristi Noem, and when the subject came up about her signing a petition---when she was still a member of the House of Representatives---and Krisit Noem was one of only 23 members of the House of Representatives who signed a petition that said Donald Trump DIDN'T have to show his incomes taxes, when prior presidential candidates have --in the past.
Who could possibly look at this woman and say "Yeah, she represents what I'm all about".

@@FourDollaRacing Nah man. They are the ones that know her story doesn't look good to anyone. It's right wing city boys buying this BS about you just randomly kill animals on the farm for vexing you out trying to defend this debacle.
How do these people get elected in the first place? Its so stupid that it is baffling.
Because republicans make it hard for native Americans to vote. Very hard. No zip codes on the rez can get you kicked out of voting. Or not having a polling place within 100 miles.
Looks at Lauren Boebert and MTG
Because they're COMPETENT! Unlike what you libs do when selecting candidates - by PC criteria!

If she doesn't discuss her conversations with world leaders then why did she bring it up to start with?
She doesn't discuss meetings with world leaders, but wrote and spoke it in a book? These "journalists" that don't call her on that on the spot are garbage.
South Dakotans, a question... any chance you will get rid of her as governor, dears? And, if not, why not?
I live in South Dakota, she’s corrupt, she’s a liar, she doesn’t respect the voice of the people, and she believes in governmental nepotism. She has been banned from 4 tribal lands in South Dakota. The unfortunate thing is, the “old republican “ guard in South Dakota has been covering for her for decades. Fortunately, she is term limited for governor, but there’s been rumblings that she may run for senator. You can bet your ass, I’ll be campaigning against her ever holding public office again. She’s an embarrassment!
Well, I can tell you this. It's not just Native Americans that find her very sketchy. And I know dog trainers that would've done a better job here in SD.
Republicans...thats why..
Well it's SD. If it's not her, it's some other magat hillibilly
Because they are voting with their penises!
Most people cry at the end of Old Yeller.

The big issue is she neglected to tell the publisher she was submitting a fiction book.

when anyone other than trump tries to steal the spotlight of who can lie harder
Never
"I'm not going to talk about my meetings with world leaders" Which world leaders has she met? I hadn't even heard of her until this dog this came out.
Burger King?
Ronald McDonald?
Who knows? She served in the United States Congress for 8 years before being elected as Governor of SD.
"We're on It" (Assuming all SD residents knew about these stories)??!!!
She should hide because they will ask her the same question over and over again.
Has anyone checked on her kids ??
She wants the VP role so badly, and overplayed her hand as a result. Classic self-own.
Kamala could have told her,you can’t overplay your hand if you want to succeed in politics
She is a monster. She is shocked that we hate monsters!!!
Anybody buying her book, when most of the book is already out in the news, is throwing away money.
she needs to make alot of money on the book because she has killed her career in politics and she is even too toxic for fox
No, she'll just tell the judge in her divorce trial how much he needs to pay her.
That publisher is going to have a tax write off on that book, no sympathy for them. The GOP usually buys up most of these maga books but this one is too toxic even for them.
Can we BAN this book???????
@@colleenvaught6829 I know how you feel, but it's a bad idea. Banning it will make everyone want to read it.
This story is morphing at the speed of light. It's gone from rambunctious puppy takes out some chickens to a vicious animal that was endangering people. Don't let her get away with this. Watching her on these interviews is chilling because she is such a forceful liar that she's perfect for Trump.

It's time for Kristi Noem to resign as governor of South Dakota and go appear on "Dancing With the Stars."
Oh darn, I thought you were going to say "Dancing with the Dictators!"😂
These are only the ones she told us about. Any farm boys go missing once she turned 12 years old?
I hope they made sure she wasn't packing before the interview. She is a bit trigger happy.
