    “Look at what happened this week, what President Biden and his team have been able to do: to distract America with this trial and we’re not talking about the open Border,” she told the host. “The fact that President Biden is violating federal law by allowing this [sic] —.”

    Some people really lie every time they open there mouth. Just a nonstop torrent of lies.

        TBH what if even that was a lie? It’s not like anybody can confirm it at this point. Maybe she just wants to be seen as an executioner loyalist type.

          Naw. Some one that was making that shit up to look tough or whatever would have realized “puppy killer” is not a good title to have.

          The only person that probably thought killing that puppy was cool was Trump himself, and that because he hates dogs- and they hate him back.

            We’re talking about a Trump Loyalist, “open border” conspiracy theorist, anti-women’s rights woman. I don’t expect them to realize jack shit, and I also reject the notion that this sort of behavior would be a negative in the eyes of powerful and influential people in the USA.

              Many - many- people who also fit that description ripped into her. Basically it’s one of or the only thing everybody agrees on.

              Also listen to the way she talks about it. It’s a fond memory, she talks about it the same way I do when I talk about Lucy discovering her favorite sound being children squealing (after a ninja-ear-lick) or how she stages squeak toys as booby traps if she decides you’re not paying her enough attention.

                I think you might be in a bit of a bubble on this issue. Some recent polls show her leading by 19%, other have her roughly tied with the DNC candidate in South Dakota. She’s received endorsements from Trump and the NRA. If it’s such a concavebrain scheme then it really shouldn’t be working so well.

                  or the people being polled just don’t care if they’re voting for a puppy killing bitch. I mean, they voted for Trump, right? not exactly a group concerned with ethics… or they think democrats are somehow worse.

          Turns out the lie is that it’s not her puppy, but someone else’s, or that she had an abortion, and decided to her base, puppy killer was preferred

    CNN Host:

    “I’d like to hear your thoughts on something”

    Noem:

    nest of angry wasps in her head grows louder

    I don’t watch much TV anymore. Actually I’ve probably watched less than an hour of actual TV this year.

    Watching that clip of Noem was shocking. She says nothing. Answers nothing. When she is obviously backed in a corner she says she “doesn’t answer hypotheticals” and starts talking about an open border. Obviously South Dakota a land locked, non-border state is very concerned about this.

    The reporter did okay, but she should have pressed even harder to push back against all of the lies. But the whole questioning around the jurors and if she would have decided the same way (after already getting her to basically say the jurors decided correctly with the information they had) she even accidentally admitted the evidence was overwhelmingly lop sided because uh…of course it was.

    Anyway, that was brilliant from the host.

      I laughed when noem brought up Obama and Hillary. I wish the host interrupted more, because half of what Noem was saying was straight lies.
