Kristi Noem's Book Tour Ends in Controversy and Media Backlash

Governor Kristi Noem's promotional campaign for her memoir 'No Going Back' faces severe criticism and ridicule from both conservative and liberal media outlets.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is pictured in a MAGA hat while speaking at an event with former President Donald Trump in Vandalia, Ohio, on March 16, 2024. The inset image features a German Wirehaired Pointer, a dog of the same breed that Noem admitted to fatally shooting because it was "untrainable" and "less than worthless" in a new book. Noem suggested in a Fox News interview on Monday night that personally executing the 14-month-old pet was her duty "as a mom."

  • Controversial anecdotes in Noem's book, including shooting a puppy and a fabricated meeting with Kim Jong Un, draw widespread condemnation.
  • Donald Trump offers measured praise amid the controversy, avoiding direct endorsement of Noem as a VP candidate.
  • Right-wing media, once supportive, sharply criticize Noem, reflecting a significant shift in her public and political standing.
  • Despite the backlash, Noem's book reportedly achieves high sales, suggesting public curiosity or support amidst the controversies.
