re: #16 No Malarkey!

The fake news media is to blame for Noem publicizing her callous shooting of Cricket and a goat.

Repub party politics in a nutshell. She can’t lie and say the story never happened now that she’s spent days doubling down, she can’t accuse the media of taking it “out of context” because she’s insisted the context is how “tough” she is, and she can’t offer any sort of apology or try express remorse for her actions because then she’ll be branded as “weak.” So her only option is to play the victim and hope that she can gain sympathy points.
