Naw, this is a wash for her.
A blurb.

It can be spun: Wow, she’s so ‘honest’ that she appears to be ‘politically-stupid’…but she’s pretty bright, so she must be just that honest!

Oh, as rhetoric, it’s classic, (if somewhat mundane), fare.
Still, what goes on in South Dakota might not play in Peroria.
Or Pyongyang. Interestingly...

"North Koreans risk the wrath of Kim Jong-un as he has banned dogs being kept as pets in his nation. Socialist Women's Union of Korea has asserted canines should only be kept for meat and fur.

"Treating a dog as a family member, who eats and sleeps with the family, is incompatible with the socialist lifestyle and should be strictly avoided," a source told Daily NK, a newspaper in South Korea.' North Koreans risk wrath of Kim Jong-un as he bans dogs being kept as pets

Looks like you uncovered the link between the two. Noem visited with Jong-un to get dog assignation tips.

The gift that keeps on giving...

“While in Paris, I was slated to meet with French president Emmanuel Macron,” Noem wrote. “However, the day before we were to meet, he made what I considered a very pro-Hamas and anti-Israel comment to the press. So I decided to cancel.” French government says Kristi Noem lied about cancelling meeting with Macron

'Cept that didn't happen either.

'Yet a French official told the outlet there is no record of a scheduled meeting with Noem – nor had they invited her.'

I think she's a South Dakota rancher who did what other SD ranchers do all the time.
It's worth reading the full context of the story. Noem took an untrained dog hunting and got angry when she acted like an untrained dog. Then she left this untrained dog loose in the back of her truck and was shocked when the dog jumped out to chase chickens while left unsupervised. Then she grabbed an excited, untrained hunting dog by the collar and was surprised when the dog tried to bite her. This is all in the book, by the way.

If you frame it as "the dog attacked chickens and bit me", then yeah, on a certain level I can see the reasonableness of putting her down. But the full context paints Noem as an irresponsible dog owner who gets angry when the dog follows its instincts due to a lack of training.

That's exactly the sort of person I want running my state or country.

Wow. Those quoted paragraphs really leave Noem no retreat from this. Just a young bouncy untrained dog who she was stupid enough to bring on the clients day out hunting. So Noem gets frustrated and shoots her.

But hey, doing stupid stuff like that is just another day on the ranch in SD, right?. Us city slickers wouldnt understand.

(25 years rural living here, but I still cant shake my suburb-boy prejudices I guess).

I thought she did it to protect President Macron who was staying in her guest house.
