Karine Jean-Pierre advises Noem after suggesting harming Biden’s dog
Welcome to the Boston Post News, where we bring you the latest stories that matter. Today, we dive into a controversial statement made by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem regarding President Joe Biden’s dog, Commander.
It all started when Noem defended a shocking passage in her new book, “No Going Back,” where she recounted shooting her own dog, Cricket, due to behavioral issues. In a recent interview, she took it a step further by suggesting that President Biden should consider putting down his German shepherd, Commander, who had reportedly bitten Secret Service agents.
During an appearance on “Face the Nation,” Noem was questioned about her alarming remarks. Host Margaret Brennan brought up a passage from the governor’s book where she addressed Commander, saying, “Commander, say hello to Cricket for me.” When asked if President Biden should have his dog shot, Noem deflected the question, emphasizing that the President should be held accountable for the dog’s actions.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to Noem’s comments during a news conference, expressing concern and labeling the statements as absurd. She remarked, “This is a country that loves dogs, and you have a leader talking about putting dogs down, killing them. And that’s a disturbing statement.”
Jean-Pierre did not hold back, advising Noem to “stop digging herself in a hole.” The press secretary’s strong words reflected the widespread outrage over the governor’s remarks regarding animal welfare.
Aside from the controversy surrounding her comments on President Biden’s dog, Noem faced additional scrutiny for a false claim in her book about meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The publisher announced the removal of this passage from future reprints of the book, as well as from the e-book and audiobook editions, at the governor’s request.
Despite these controversies, Noem has been rumored as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump. Her book also includes pointed references to Commander, reinforcing her stance on aggressive dog behavior and implying criticism towards President Biden’s management of his pets.
