'Horrified' Noem defenders baffled by her refusal to stop talking about shooting her dog

Allies of embattled South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) are as much "horrified' by her admission that she shot a puppy years ago as they are that she admitted to it in her new book and that she won't quit talking about it which is keeping the horrific story alive.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Noem's continuing attempts to justify the shooting of 14-month-old puppy "Cricket" in a gravel pit years ago has some of her longtime supporters stunned that she refuses to cut her losses and move on.
