'Save that trauma for your therapist’: SE Cupp reacts to Kristi Noem’s anecdote about killing dog

I can almost guarantee that the next story will be on tonight's joke list. Some people aren't so sure it's funny. One of Donald Trump's potential challengers in May made this, as some people would say, a strange admission that angered a lot of people. Well, here's the backstory. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem released a new book. The Guardian obtained a copy of her and the outlet is pointing out a section in which she describes how she killed her dog named Cricket. So the easiest way to explain what happened here, if you haven't read it, is to read it out loud to you.

We have the main part of the article and we are just going to read it. So listen to it. Alright. So it all starts here. Cricket was a wire-haired pointer. He was about 14 months old, she says, adding that the dog, a female, had an aggressive personality and needed to be trained to use for hunting. It includes his story about the unfortunate cricket. She says to illustrate her willingness in politics, as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything, quote, difficult, messy and ugly, end of quote. If it is simply necessary to bring cricket pheasant hunting with older dogs, Noem says she hoped to calm the young dog down.

She began to teach him how to behave. She's just a puppy. She is fine. Unfortunately, cricket ruined the hunt, she said, in quotes, wild with excitement, chasing all the birds and having the time of her life. Known describes calling cricket and then using an electronic collar to try to control her. Nothing worked. Then, on the way home from the hunt, when Gnome stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped from Nome's truck and attacked the family's chickens, so, quote, he grabbed one chicken at a time, crushing it. until

killing

him with one and then letting him fall. to attack another cricket.

The untraceable rice gnome dog behaved like, quote, a trained assassin. When Gnome finally grabbed the cricket, she says the dog, quote, turned around to bite me. Then, as the chicken's owner cried, Gnome repeatedly apologized, wrote the program, wrote the shocked family a check quote for the price they were asking, and helped them get rid of the dead bodies littering the crime scene. Through it all, Gnome says that cricket was, quote, the picture of pure joy. I hated that, dog, Gnome writes, adding that the cricket had proven to be, quote, untreatable, dangerous to anyone he came into contact with and less than useless as a hunting dog.

So at that moment, Gnome says, I realized I had to leave her. Gnome, who also represented a state in Congress for eight years, took the gun from him and then took the cricket to a gravel pit. It was not a pleasant job, he writes, but it had to be done. And when it was over, I realized that there was another unpleasant job to do. Incredibly, Gnomes Tale of Slaughter is not finished for the family, he writes, he also had a goat that was nasty and mean because he had not been castrated naturally. Furthermore, Aslan knows that the goat smelled foul, musky, rancid, and loved to chase the gnomes, while the children knocked them down and ruined their clothes.

Gnome decided to kill the nameless goat the same way he had just killed the dog Cricket. But although she dragged it into a gravel pit, the goat jumped out while she was shooting and therefore survived the wound. Gnome says he returned to his truck, retreated to another shell, then hurried back to the gravel pit and left it at that point. Gnome writes she realized that a construction crew had seen her kill both animals. The surprised workers quickly went back to work. She writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop her off. Gnomes, children. Kennedy looked around, confused.

Gnome writes about her daughter, who asked: Hey, where's Cricket? This is not a joke. If you are thinking this is not true. Gnome has now defended the scenes in statements she made in her own book saying that he loves animals. But on a farm there are always difficult decisions to be made. In fact, she says they recently euthanized three horses. I don't know how to get the panel back after that, but I'll do it now. We have H.E. Cupp, Van Lathan, Van Jones, Scott Jennings and our champion from Kerry, all ready. Journalistically, I know I need something like that.

You can't kill a dog or a goat like that. It's crazy. Well, it's

your

comment. He's not Old Yeller, that's for sure. Listen to things. I hunt on dogs. It's one thing. It is not necessary to sacrifice them if they are not good at hunting. Good. There are a thousand other things you can do with them before you have to kill them for no good reason to do so. This is something that some female politicians do. Remember Joni Ernst talking about castrating pigs when she came to the Senate to talk about rural life? Life on the farm makes them seem a little tough.

Maybe it's not something any of us need as voters. We don't need to hear about it. Save that

. Can't. I can't tell what you're thinking. I see a look on your face and I can't tell what's going on. Well, I'm a dog owner. I had a dog that passed away recently, I had her for 18 years. So I'm just into the human aspect. I don't know. I have never lived on a farm and believe it or not, I think there are people somewhere in the middle of America or wherever they live who can understand what she said.

I do not know who they are. I can't quite understand it. And I don't know why it is necessary to document it. But there is a problem where people want, according to you, some kind of credibility. I don't know what it felt like to make her look or feel or if people were going to say this is what I want, someone who knows this, no nonsense. It's really disgusting and I think also

tizing. And she writes that the dog behaved like a trained killer. I said, who says you felt like a hunted dog? That's a job to go after those things you're hunting.

We have to be smart about it. This lady took this, but they do this. She embarked on an animal cull and it spread across all areas of zoology. She didn't kill three horses. A goat and a dog like that. This is worrying. In front of silver. In front of the greats. Oh 14. Where is the cricket again? What is a god? That's still a great novel. What are we supposed to do with that? Yes, this is it. I'm doing my best to have two aspects to this, and I absolutely understand that aspect as a dog owner, having that visceral reaction as I describe this.

So that's what she did, and people can take it as it is, judge it however they want. And then there's the decision to write about it, not just write about it, but, frankly, brag about it and brag about it because you think you're going to get something out of it. Yes, first of all, on your screen, he is breathing a sigh of relief tonight. The president was the worst dog owner in America. By the way, we still don't know what happened to the commander. We have no idea why Kristi Noem is the worst. Congratulations, Joe Biden.

You have to jump up and say that, you know, her dogs are attacking people in the White House and beating up numerous, numerous people. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners. You know, Governor Deval has... I mean, nobody has a cold in the Dakotas. Maybe he needed a coat. I don't know. My goodness, this is a terrible PR problem, but even worse, there are two other types of technical terms. A psychopath. Nobody shoots a puppy like that. I have a puppy right now. The way you communicate with dogs that are, but you call them by their full name instead of their first name.

So every time my bulldog Elvis, like when he jumps on the kitchen table, he just has to if I tell him Elvis, the Jay Bull dog, eat on the third, then he jumps. I have never contemplated shooting them from the kitchen table as long as you can, you can send them to the pound if you really want to say it's hard training. You can train them that simple. Well. So Ben Van Jones and Scott, if there's anyone at the table. But Van, is he still running for the vice presidency? Oh, especially after this. Look, Lyndon Johnson grabbed a beagle by the ears and was soon out of the presidential race for a variety of reasons.

Vietnam was one of them. But dog abuse has a pretty poor track record in advancing political careers. I think she's out, right? Mitt Romney. Yes. Yes. Because we talked about how on a family road trip they put a dog in a cage on the roof and drooled. This dog got sick and hurt him on the campaign, it was actually something that people thought was a different plan. And that was ridiculous. You remember, because I was there. You were all there when the Democrats turned Mitt Romney into a monster. Among other things, he was an animal killer.

And I was there when the women suffocated him. He was a sexist pig. This is self-induced. Oh, of course, no one will know the story. But you know she thought communicating this to the electorate would help her. Yeah, well, so what? What happens if he does? Okay, maybe we know. There are no employees or consultants anywhere within 100 miles of this governor? It's like, Hey, I know, I know. You love that story, right? Do not say it. Hello. But maybe I'll put it in the book. Maybe let's take Is there an editor or the editor? Good. Stop making ads for dental implants and other weird things.

She's not weird. We should note that someone complained and expects to be charged with animal cruelty. So there is a complaint after reading this because people were very disturbed after seeing the story. And then the last thing, hearing her daughter say: where's the cricket? That hurt. I wonder if she's trying to get in front of the story somehow because she thought her daughter would be in the press, except for those construction workers. Let's talk. Alright. Yes. Yes. Nothing more to say. This will result in Donald Trump liking this. I wouldn't put it past him, but I don't know if even Donald Trump has basic political instincts.

I think people are shocked and dismayed. And I thought honestly, once you read it, you're like, oh, this makes sense. Every line is more horrible. I read it all. Like what? Like after you killed the dog, why would you talk about the fact that your child won't talk about the fact as if you were getting worse and worse? Yes. Yes, of course, of course. Everyone says, calm down. John is fine. No, I alone. Because I. Yes, we have done it. Let's take a break.
