Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Sage Advice To Kristi Noem After Hint About Killing Biden Dog
HuffPost
The White House press secretary shredded the South Dakota governor like a chew toy during a briefing.
Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday told Kristi Noem to “stop digging herself in a hole” after the South Dakota governor suggested that President Joe Biden’s dog, Commander, be put down. (Watch the video below.)
Noem turbocharged a rocky rollout of her new book, “No Going Back,” by defending a passage in which she described shooting her 14-month-old dog Cricket over behavioral problems. She went further in an interview over the weekend, suggesting that Biden should do the same with his German shepherd Commander, who bit several Secret Service agents before being relocated to family members in Delaware.
On “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan mentioned a threatening book passage in which Noem wrote, “Commander, say hello to Cricket for me.”
Noem replied that Biden “should be held accountable” to “make a decision” on the dog after he attacked so many people.
She then asked the governor if Commander should be shot, and Noem rambled on. “That’s what the president should be accountable to,” the state leader said without answering the question.
