In a potentially career-ending revelation, South Dakota Governor and potential Vice Presidential candidate, Kristi Noem, has admitted to a disturbing incident from her past.

In her forthcoming memoir, "No Going Back," Noem discloses that she euthanized a puppy and a goat during her time living on a farm. The dog, named Cricket, was only 14 months old and was deemed "untrainable" and "less than worthless," leading Noem to make the fatal decision.

This revelation has sparked widespread outrage among Americans, with many questioning Noem's disregard for animal life. Political commentator Stu Burguiere suggests that this could mark the end of Noem's political journey.

Burguiere had previously described Noem as a "do no harm, solid type of person who's not going to make lots of noise, not going to ruin your candidacy, not going to blow anything up, not going to be in the headlines." However, he believes that the disclosure about Cricket has drastically altered this perception.

"I don’t understand how it’s a good idea in any way to put that story out there when no one else apparently knew about it," Burguiere stated. He went on to add, "People like their dogs, okay? And very, very few people can imagine a dog being a little bit out of control, maybe even a lot out of control, and having the answer be, ‘I’m going to take it in the back and shoot it.’"

Noem has defended her actions, describing it as a difficult decision that is part of the reality of farm life. However, this defense may not resonate with the majority of Americans.

Burguiere further commented, "I understand that society probably doesn’t operate for very long without our farmers, and they do a great job, and they have a totally different way of looking at this, but I mean, that’s not the point here." He emphasized that the issue is not about understanding farm life, but about recognizing that not everyone shares this perspective, especially for a politician who is considered a 'do no harm' candidate.
