South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, already under fire for killing her family’s 14-month-old dog and boasting about it, on Sunday took aim at another family’s pet: Commander, Prez Joe Biden‘s bite-prone German shepherd.
Appearing on CBS, Noem, a Republican, suggested that Commander, who was banished from the White House last fall after bloodying a number of Secret Service agents, should also have been put down.
“Joe Biden’s dog has attacked 24 Secret Service people,” she said. “So, how many people is enough people to be attacked and dangerously hurt before you make a decision on a dog?” Commander was sent to an undisclosed location after the Secret Service recorded 24 biting episodes.
Noem, who had been widely seen as a contender to be ex-prez Trump’s running mate, wrote in her new memoir about a female wire-haired pointer named Cricket that she had hoped to use to hunt pheasant on her ranch. She said the dog proved “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog – so she shot her in a gravel pit. “I hated that dog,” she wrote.
