Daily Wire Host Bizarrely Attacks Noem's 'Assassin Dog' Cricket

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has doubled down on her defense of murdering her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket, who, she said in her new book, she "hated." Noem didn't try to rehome Cricket to someone with a soul. She said she "hated that dog" and shot her dead by the gravel pit. Noem, who perhaps was trying to get the VP slot from Donald Trump, has doubled down on her defense after a bipartisan backlash. Gov. Puppy Killer is pretty much toast, but she has one person who is OK with her appalling actions: Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who called Cricket an "assassin dog," Media Matters reports.

"Yes, it was politically dumb for Noem to admit this. Yes, her political calculation misfired. I'm mixing metaphors. You get the point," Knowles said. "But the third point is, Noem didn't do anything wrong. You might say it wasn't advisable. You might say there were better things she could have done. She could have given the dog up for adoption."
