Kristi Noem Loses Her Temper On Fox Business

Embattled South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem lost her temper and, pardon the reference, barked at Fox Business' Stuart Varney this morning. This after he refused to bury the uproar her new book created, with her admission she murdered her dog.

Noem must have believed Varney and Co. would be a safe harbor for the outrage she's caused, but she was mistaken. Instead of a softball interview, this happened. As the interview progressed, she became more belligerent.

(I put together three different clips of the interview in the above video)

Varney: If you were writing the book today, would you include the dog story?

You know, this is a wonderful book. Did you read the book?

Varney: Not yet.

Gov. Noem: Oh, you should. The first chapter?

Varney: The question stands. If you were writing it today, would you include the dog story?

Gov. Noem: I'm proud of this book. If you read the first chapter,

You would?

After several minutes of Noem bragging about South Dakota's economy, Varney came back to her dog. It became more contentious for the governor.

Varney: Your political judgement...

Gov. Noem: I know that a lot of people are using attacks and trying to take me down because they're scared of me. Listen, I've run 12 campaigns, and all I've done is won.

Varney: I've not heard anybody support you on shooting the dog.
