She cannot answer the simple question of if she met the North Korean leader. It’s a simple yes or no.

[ScottGiroux-fk]

South Dakotan here. I'm totally embarrassed by this woman.

[kerrykent]

She has absolutely no shame. I don't think she is even embarrassed.

[lavonnebenson]

I think they were letting her dig her own hole.

[makeitmakesense]

Killing a dog and lying about meeting North Korea dictator is insane

There is also evidence to suggest that animal abuse is associated with the possession of psychopathic traits; Psychopathy is characterized by attributes such as a lack of empathy and remorse, deceitful and manipulative behavior, superficial charm and an inflated sense of self - NIH

OOF. Once again no soul behind those eyes.

[annabrown]

Soft interview. She's an absolute sociopath. I'd like to see the media actually make her answer to this insanity.

[randolphamos]

History would remember her as the puppy killer

[foxfireglo]

She’s delusional. People will never accept her justification for murdering her puppy

[jackson]

You can't believe anything this woman says.

[RJS]

She says that she hated the dog. Doesn’t seem like it was hard at all.

[EAdams-mfwi]

Bless you Cricket for giving your life to end the career of the awful Kristi Noem.

[sinash]

Why hasn't anyone asked her why she did not just take the dog to an animal shelter?

[ianlack]

A puppy is considered a puppy up until 12-18 months. The “dog” was 14 months old. If it’s getting excited during a hunt and ruining it, it might still be a puppy.

[leej-wpft]

She is a very scary woman. She is dangerous.

[Defeng]

The MAGA philosophy on display here: never take responsibility, never accept fault, distract, deflect and lie. Then grift: "buy my book!"

[erinadams]

She had to shoot the goat twice to finish it off, which they don't even point out to her. That doesn't sound humane to me.

[tea]

Why are you even giving her airtime? She is full of herself. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[brownsugerkiss]

If I heard her correctly, the state allows you to shoot a dog in the face? This is humane how? Let me look into this...
