Apparently there are rumors brewing that the dog execution story didn't go down exactly as Noem said it did. Basically, she was in a fit of rage and when she gets like that and there are firearms nearby, something is gonna get shot. And because killing the dog didn't satisfy her blood lust, she also shot the family goat for good measure, just because.

The reason she put the story in the book was to get ahead of it before some other source leaked it. So she wrote a self-serving version of events to promote a narrative. Since the book release, however, she's augmented the story with more bullshit about the dog threatening her children in order to justify shooting it. But there were witnesses and she won't keep the lid on it for long.

Heard it this morning. Here's the full AP story:

Politicians and dog experts vilify South Dakota governor after she writes about killing her dog

Politicians and dog experts are criticizing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem after she wrote in a new book about killing a rambunctious puppy.

And here is the relevant part. According to South Dakota State Senator Reymold Nesiba (D):

"...South Dakota Democratic Senate Minority Leader Reynold Nesiba considered the disclosure more calculated than stupid. He said the story has circulated for years among lawmakers that Noem killed a dog in a “fit of anger” and that there were witnesses. He speculated that it was coming out now because Noem is being vetted as a candidate for vice president. 'She knew that this was a political vulnerability, and she needed to put it out there, before it came up in some other venue,' he said. 'Why else would she write about it?'”
