South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has stirred controversy with details from her upcoming book, “No Going Back,” where she admits to killing her dog, Cricket, and an unwanted goat. This revelation has significantly impacted her potential candidacy as a running mate for Donald Trump in future elections. According to sources inside Trump’s circle, Noem was considered a long shot for the Vice Presidential slot, and this incident has further diminished her chances, with insiders labeling her prospects as “DOA” due to the negative backlash.

Noem defends her actions by describing them as tough but necessary decisions on the farm, similar to making hard choices in politics. She also cited a South Dakota law that permits the killing of dogs if they pose a threat to livestock. However, the public and legal scrutiny following her admission suggests potential legal issues and has severely damaged her reputation.

The story caught the attention of late-night show host Seth Meyers, who harshly criticized Noem on his program. He compared her to the fictional character Buffalo Bill from “Silence of the Lambs” for her actions and the way she openly discussed them in her book. Meyers’ critique highlights the ethical concerns and the shock expressed by the public over Noem’s actions.

Governor Noem plans to release her book in May, promising more candid stories, which hints at possibly more controversial content to emerge.
