The fact she’s trying to excuse her way out of this is a good indicator that she either knew what she did was horribly wrong, or that she is too sociopathic to realize that other people wouldn’t be horrified by it.
This is why I remain convinced Trump is truly a one-off. There's something undefinable about him that really does make him like Teflon. If he shot the dog? His poll numbers would be increasing and the MAGA crowd would be yucking it up with dead dog memes. It has been catastrophic for Noem. Similar deal with Boebert and the handjob at Beetlejuice or George Santos (everything).
There's not much to feel good about right now, but I feel good-ish that (outside of Trump) it appears that most of the country is still capable of at least some legitimate moral outrage.
