‘You Need to Stop!’ Kristi Noem Loses It At Fox Host For Repeatedly Asking About Puppy Killing

If you thought you were sated by cable news coverage of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem promoting her book, featuring a charming story about shooting her dog in the face, THINK AGAIN.

In this episode, Fox Business host Stuart Varney had a go at a prospective Vice Presidential candidate for former President and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, and like so many other promotional book appearances that have come before, it did not go well for Noem.

Varney was dogged (!) in his pursuit of details surrounding the episode in the book that, curiously, has united a divided nation in widespread condemnation for killing the dog.

Varney painted a dark picture for Noem’s political future, telling his guest, “We’ve been consumed with emails saying, I won’t vote for this person. I won’t vote for Trump if she if he puts her in the vice presidential spot.”

Noem consistently tried to pivot to any number of more pleasant partisan topics for her to discuss, but every time she tossed out a new topic, Varney returned to the dead dog story like a stubbornly eager Labrador Retriever wanting more.

When pressed on whether Trump and Noem had discussed her potential place as running mate, Varney then returned to whether the dog story came up between the two. This seem to make Noem a bit unhinged.

“This interview is ridiculous, which you are doing right now,” she exasperated to her host. “So you need to stop! It is okay. It is. Let’s talk about some real topics that Americans care about,” to which the Fox Business host replied. “I’m afraid we’re out of time.”

Has a promotional book tour designed to raise someone’s stature as a political player ever gone so poorly or fallen so quickly?  The dog lovers of the world would likely call this karma.
