LOADINGERROR LOADING. Meghan McCain wasn’t having it with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s (R) revelation that she killed one of her dogs, likening the governor’s story to something out of a “horror movie.”. The daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) bashed Noem after the Guardian revealed that the governor — who is reportedly being eyed as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump — wrote in her new book about shooting an “aggressive” 14-month-old wirehaired pointer Cricket..

McCain took to social media to respond to Noem on Sunday after the governor declared that killing one of the working dogs at her ranch “wasn’t easy… but often the easy way isn’t the right way.”. “My family has a ranch outside of Sedona ― no one has ever shot a dog for any reason,” McCain replied.. “This is not a ‘rural/ranch’ thing. My Dads dog Burmas ashes are on our family mantle after he died naturally. This story is something out of a horror movie.”. McCain edited her response a number of times prior to the movie comparison after she previously slammed the “killing and torturing” of animals as a “trait of a serial killer.”. Advertisement.

The Guardian report sparked backlash for the governor, who linked the dog anecdote on Sunday to her years of public service and those “looking for leaders who are authentic, willing to learn from the past, and don’t shy away from tough challenges.”. “My hope is anyone reading this book will have an understanding that I always work to make the best decisions I can for the people in my life,” wrote Noem, who went on to note that it’s legal in her state to put down dogs who attack and kill livestock.. She continued, “Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did. Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to handle. Even if it’s hard and painful. I followed the law and was being a responsible parent, dog owner, and neighbor.”. The hashtag #PuppyKiller trended on X following the Guardian report and her story led to condemnation from the Democratic National Committee..
