Kristi Noem Tells Stuart Varney 'You Need To Stop' In Testy Exchange About Dog
HuffPost
“Enough, Stuart. This interview is ridiculous, what you are doing right now,” Noem griped as Varney repeatedly asked her about killing her dog.
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) got into a testy exchange with Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Tuesday as he doggedly asked questions about her dog-shooting scandal.
“Do you think it was good politics to include that story?” Varney asked the governor, referring to an anecdote she put in her book, “No Going Back,” about killing her dog, Cricket, for being “less than worthless” as a hunting dog.
In response, Noem claimed that her “political opponents have used it for years,” so she thought people should “know the truth on it.”
But it was when Varney started asking Noem questions about whether she had spoken to former President Donald Trump since the story broke that she had a cow.
Initially, she seemed OK with the line of questioning, telling Varney that she regularly talks to Trump and they “absolutely” spoke after the dog-killing story broke.
