Even Fox News is piling on puppy killer Kristi Noem
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld held a mock interview Tuesday with fellow host Dana Perino playing the part of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem after the governor canceled an appearance on his late-night show. Noem’s calamitous book launch might have been at fault, though she reportedly told Gutfeld she canceled due to “weather.”
“I don’t believe it,” Gutfeld said of Noem’s weather excuse. He then made a series of dog puns, referencing Noem’s terrible tale of killing her 14-month-old puppy named Cricket because it was “untrainable” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog.
“I just think it's a little late to keep her on a short leash,” he said. “I'd hope she'd reconsider, but I'm not going to sit up and beg.”
He proceeded to interview Perino as “Noem,” asking her whether or not she has even read her book.
“Thank you for reading my book,” said Perino as Noem.
Gutfeld is one of the people that passes for a comedian in the right-wing-o-sphere. While he isn’t funny, it is funny that Noem’s book is such an unmitigated disaster that even Fox News, Gutfeld, and Perino felt comfortable throwing her under the bus.
