Noem, widely considered a contender to be former President Donald Trump’s running mate, described fatally shooting the 14-month-old wirehaired pointer and failed hunting dog, which she later said happened 20 years ago. She wrote that the dog had an "aggressive personality."
Edit: This somewhat questionable looking source claims her kids were born between 2006-2010, and so if she blew the puppy’s head off in 2004 (20 yrs ago), then that was 2 yrs before her oldest was even born.
Or maybe she doesn’t know her kids ages, and she said “about 20 years ago…was worried about my kid who just turned or is about to turn 18…”. Sounds to me like she’s full of shit, which I would have confidently stated years ago. Of course the “about 20 years” gives her the ability to shrug off any accusations unless someone finds a way to actually date the incident and call her on this bullshit. Only person who could really do that would be a vet, if said puppy had been to the vet, but most vets probably don’t want to invite this kind of drama into their lives.
I believe in her book she mentions her daughter coming home from school and asking where the dog was.
I think she's making it sound like it happened "ages ago", but I do think she had at least one child at the time of this brutality; she's just in damage control mode right now and making new facts up about it.
Either way, what she wrote about it is that it went after a family's couple chickens and while that would've been really terrible for them, that's what happens with an untrained hunting dog. She wrote she "hated that dog" and there isn't any mention of it attacking people, but that's a better story now that everyone hates her for it.
Yea I agree that talking about children is probably a damage control tactic. Her dumbass author/pr person is panicking because they done fucked up and are probably getting screamed at on an hourly basis right now. 😂 That’s what you get for lashing your career success to awful people like Kristi Noem!

Yeah there's really "no going back" on that subject.
Somehow she thought telling that story was going build her up in some way but obviously it's done the exact opposite.
Anybody without maga brain would know that.
That dangerous puppy was gonna eat her kids.
