Leftist outcry: Why did Kristi Noem uphold the Second Amendment?

The left-wing media and their woke allies are up in arms over South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's badass new book, where she recalls shooting her dog, Cricket, and a goat. Tough-as-nails Noem—a potential VP pick for Trump—doesn't give a damn about the liberal tears. This story has everything: trigger-happy conservatives, outraged liberals, and talking heads spouting nonsense. It's a cluckin' good time!

The Guardian shared an excerpt from Noem's book, "'No Going Back,' scheduled for release on May 7," where she recounts the day she put down her aggressive, untrainable dog. Noem, a hunting enthusiast, described a pheasant hunt gone wrong, with Cricket chasing and killing a family's chickens like a furry serial killer. She wrote, "I hated that dog. It was dangerous." So, she did what any sensible person would do and took matters into her own hands—at a gravel pit, no less.

Noem's story triggered liberals and conservatives alike. Twitter erupted, with even The View's Whoopi Goldberg weighing in. Liberals lost their minds, but Noem clapped back on Twitter, reminding folks that tough choices are part of farm life. In another tweet, she set the record straight, stating the incident happened 20 years ago and was within her rights under South Dakota law.

Despite the leftist outrage, legal experts confirmed Noem's actions were likely legal. South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley said his office had no jurisdiction due to the statute of limitations. Noem's team cited state laws 40-34-1 and 40-34-2, which allow people to kill chickens—er, dogs—chasing or killing poultry or livestock. And get this, animal law experts David Favre and Conley Wouters agreed: Noem was legally in the clear. So much for the left's hissy fit.

Behavior experts weighed in, too, saying Cricket's behavior was typical of hunting dogs. James Oppenheimer, a dude who knows his stuff, said Noem's choice of a bullet to the brain was probably overkill, but hey, it's legal.

In a world gone soft, Noem's story is a breath of fresh air. She took responsibility and didn't shy away from a tough choice. So, to the lefties clutching their pearls, we say: grab a tissue and move on! This story has more twists and turns than Cricket on a chicken chase, but one thing's clear—Noem isn't backing down.
