DNC slams Noem over 'horrifying' story about shooting her family's dog [View all]

Source: The Hill

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday slammed South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) over a passage in her new book about shooting her family dog.

In a statement first shared with The Hill, the DNC called itself the “Dogmocratic Party” and gave its response in the voice of the dogs of the party.

“As DNC’s canine companions, we’ve heard a lot from our owners about just how extreme and dangerous Donald Trump and his far-right MAGA allies are — but nothing could prepare us for the truly disturbing and horrifying passages Kristi Noem willingly chose to put in her new book,” the statement said.

It continued, “Our message is plain and simple: If you want elected officials who don’t brag about brutally killing their pets as part of their self-promotional book tour, then listen to our owners — and vote Democrat.”
