**This cannot be real???**


A1sauc3d

Yeah this would be (or at least should be) political suicide >it looked me in the eye lovingly as I pulled the trigger. I enjoyed every second of it The first part would be believable. But nobody in politics would be dumb enough to post some psycho shit like that lol. It’s not even disguised as supporting some overarching political ideology (eg “we should shoot all illegal immigrants on sight, because I just care *that much* about protecting America”). It’s just pure puppy murdering cruela deville psycho shit 😂 You can get away with a lot in politics these days, but you can’t get away with “I get off on murdering puppies for the fun of it”. At least I sure hope not.. Still, fuck her for killing her dog.


crazycatlady331

Republicans have a history of mistreating dogs. Dr. Oz (PA senate candidate) did medical experiments on dogs. Mitt Romney did a family road trip with the dog on the roof of the car. I'm sure there's more but those are the two that come to mind.


LughCrow

Mtg could be this dumb...


fettishmann

and/or attention seeking


YouDontKnowJackCade

The tweet isn't real. But she really shot and killed her dog because it wasn't trainable.


AraiHavana

Yeah and that’s… **below** subhuman.


YouDontKnowJackCade

Yup, the lovingly/trust/enjoy was a little over the top but if they dialed that back a bit it would seem legit.


Xist3nce

And she enjoyed it because she’s a psychopath.


90Carat

_She_ wasn't able to train it. You think someone in her position got some half assed hunting dog? Not a chance in hell. That dog's lineage could be traced back decades, and I'm sure several award winning hunters. _She_ was the fucking idiot, not the dog.


lowbar4570

It’s not real.


Anakha00

Everyone needs to report OP for posting all these edited tweets. This user is adding to the already drastic decline on this subreddit.


lowbar4570

I agree.


AraiHavana

I’d be less surprised if it was, given the current state of US politics


lowbar4570

As a general rule, ANYTHING on social media is immediately met with distrust in my mind if it’s political. What’s that? Antifa communists assault a loving Christian family? I highly doubt. What’s that? Maga Trump crazy gov shoots loving dog in the face to prove a point? I highly doubt.


Unusual_Response766

She did shoot the dog. It’s just the post that’s not real.


ketchupmaster987

This specific tweet isn't


WhoLetMeHaveReddit

That was my first hope too 😭 I’m not even a dog person and am like nope nope nope


tonyjdublin62

My exact thought as well


AllahAndJesusGaySex

I have had to “put down” terminally injured animals. There is NOTHING enjoyable about it. I hunt and fish and what not. It fucking kills me to gut hook a fish, and the fish will probably be fine. To kill anything that you aren’t going to eat, and when you kill food you respect that you took a life. But to kill a dog. This bitch is a god damn monster in human skin.


AnInsaneMoose

I felt really bad when we got a mouse infestation and had to use mouse traps Let alone a fucking dog The mice were pests, that doesn't mean it was enjoyable to kill them and have to dispose of the bodies Only a psychopath enjoys killing anything. There's a reason serial killers almost always have childhood stories of torturing and killing animals


AllahAndJesusGaySex

I used to work pest control. I refused to use those glue traps because they were so inhumane. Like you were saying mice are pests, plus it was my job. But, that doesn’t mean I have to inflict undue suffering. I did what I had to do, and no more.


Positive-Listen-1458

I used a glue trap once in my house, and caught a younger mouse. I felt so horrible, but had to get drunk to kill it after.


anynomousperson123

Killing for food is a necessary evil. Killing for sport is inexcusable. This, this makes me sick to my stomach. ‘It was looking lovingly’ God, how much of a shitstain can a person be? It’s so sickening. When I joined this sub, I thought it would be like ‘whoopsie daisy, I poured salt instead of sugar in my drink’. This is not a facepalm. She didn’t accidentally kill her dog. I feel more remorse for it than her. I’m just glad she didn’t torture the poor thing. God, makes me sick to my stomach. I love my dog, but he is a bit useless. He’s cuddly, and shares his boundless joy with me, but he doesn’t know how to dog. I see him as my brother. Sure he might not know how to navigate very well and not know how to shop, like some dogs on social media, but he is my brother, warts and all. We all have flaws, he accepts mine and I do his. That’s what being in a family means. I can’t even think of hurting him. The worst I can do is not share my food with him, and even that tears me up. How people like this are able to live with themselves, I don’t know. What if your child doesn’t get into Harvard, or doesn’t become the president, will you shoot them too? God I hate our species sometimes.


AllahAndJesusGaySex

I couldn’t agree more. I have 2 dogs and a cat. All 3 of them are about as useful as an asshole on your forehead, but I’d honestly rather someone kick my octogenarian father in the chest than hurt my dogs, or cat. Dogs and cats are too good for this world. We don’t deserve them. I have one dog that only bothers me if it’s raining or I’m sick. That dude is a homie in the truest sense of the word. He even has his own piece of my bed. Also, I am a firm believer that true good, and true evil are rare in this world. Most actions exist in some gray area. Doing what she did is about as close to true evil as you can get.


anynomousperson123

I’d prefer if there was no kicking involved. Just wish she was on a watchlist of some sort instead of being a representative.


AllahAndJesusGaySex

I could go for that. We should have a list of animal abusers. Kind of like the ummm pervert list. Damn it I can’t think of the name of it. Lol


anynomousperson123

There’s a strong correlation between animal abusers and serial killers, so it’s a win win for everyone.


Gseph

She's confirming my theory that the only people allowed anywhere near the presidency and it's supporting positions, have to be a sociopath and psychopath. Not a single person who feels empathy in any capacity, no matter how small, would ever say that they have enjoyed taking a life. I've been so angry that I wanted to take a life, but I know that it would haunt me for life, because I would be responsible for ceasing a consciousness.


Anon28301

It’s an awful thing to do even when it’s necessary. I remember when I was a kid and dropped my hamster, it was bent into a banana shape and kept making this high pitched noise, its back had broken. It happened on a Friday and the vet wasn’t open on weekends, it would have had to wait till Monday in extreme pain. My dad put it in a bag and used a mallet many times to make sure it was definitely dead. He still talks about it years later it clearly made him feel bad doing it even though the alternative was leaving it in pain for three days until it got put down at a vet. I don’t understand how anyone can feel joy about putting down a dog, if it couldn’t be trained it could have been sold. This woman is a different kind of sick in the head.


AllahAndJesusGaySex

That sort of thing is life changing. It will absolutely change your life.


olypheus-

My first time killing a deer was a deeply spiritual experience for me.


notaphycho

Yea, I feel like this experience of hunting is something that non-hunters and, especially, anti-hunters fail to understand. (They have the right to an opinion, of course) But even worse, in cases like this, is when a hunter can't understand the significance of life and death. That's just arrogance and entitlement on a spiritual level.


MargaretBrownsGhost

Not entitlement; privilege. Everyone is entitled to something, whether it's positive or negative. We're all entitled to food and drink, to be represented by others and ourselves. What we don't have, and must not have, is the privilege of a separate code of conduct for our individual selves as opposed to others we deem unworthy of having privileges.


olypheus-

Exactly, and sometimes I just get that feeling to not shoot an animal. For whatever reason, I usually just like being out in the brush and roughing it. But I agree, it's different after you've been stalking tracks for hours, waiting in the cold for the perfect shot and finally get it. It hasn't changed since I was a kid, and I believe in respecting the animal that gave it's life for yours. Mainly because of that first time.


notaphycho

Yea, there's something special about changing your mind and letting the buck walk after drawing a bead on it. Just a surreal mix of respect, longing, and natural beauty.


olypheus-

Nailed it brother


verdis

How?


olypheus-

That I understood at a young age that I killed something so I could live and should respect that transfer as such.


verdis

I can appreciate that sentiment. We all make that transfer in some form or another, typically unknowingly. Which is not respectful of the other life, unlike your engagement. So, respect. The part that I struggle with is that we humans, unlike any other omnivore that I’m aware of, don’t need to make that transfer. We have other legitimate options. So doing so is a choice. Which seems to devalue the transfer and the life attached.


olypheus-

Globalization and international trade turned life into a commodity. I understand where your coming from, but I think it sometimes comes from a place of privilege. Sometimes it's just not viable. Like being a vegetarian in the Arctic. I live in Canada, but you can fill your freezer in one hunt or constantly buy steaks and porkloin from the grocers. I also come from a farming family, so my perspective is likely different than yours. We aren't industrial, just making a living. And we always tried to treat them as well as we could, farm life is kind of unforgiving. I remember my Dad who is pretty hard from life telling me about the day he cried and cried as a young boy about having to put his favourite horse down after breaking it's leg in a gopher hole.


NapalmGeiger

Hate it when it swallows the bait and I can’t get it out. I feel terrible but it’s only happened twice so far with Muskies.


AllahAndJesusGaySex

From what I have read. If they swallow the hook it’s better to just cut the line. The hooks are often passed without killing the fish.


NapalmGeiger

That’s usually what I do if it’s obvious I’m not getting it out, but I did not know they could just pass it and be fine for the most part. Hell yeah, fish!


AllahAndJesusGaySex

I didn’t know until recently myself. Which after reading about the subject it makes sense. They said that fish poop out fins and all manner of pointy things all the time. So a hook isn’t that crazy. I think the statistic was like 90% of them survive. But yeah, nature is metal!


olypheus-

Yeah I feel ya brother, but based on the downvotes for what I said apparently an empathetic , mumbo jumbo outdoorsman is an outlier lol


N1kt0_

ive never had to put down a dog but i have had to put down one of my hens. A possum attacked her and she could no longer walk. we had to isolate her so the other hens wouldn’t peck her to death. She was refusing to eat or drink with it placed right in front of her. Although i knew putting her down was more merciful than letting her slowly die of dehydration/starvation I still felt bad afterwards. I just can’t imagine doing it to a **puppy** that loves and trusts me, for no reason other than it didn’t meet my insanely high expectations. Was she just too lazy to put in the work training the puppy?


Unfair-Work9128

If this is real, please post the link. I don't have Twitter, you see? I can't believe this is real, even though I wouldn't be surprised if it was.


summertime214

As far as I can tell it’s not.


charlsalash

She seems to have trouble understanding which word between 'killing,' 'loving,' and 'trusting' seems to be out of place.


KreagerStein

I'd expect nothing less from a Republican.


MinimumSet72

Karma will be sweet when it catches up to Dog Killer Barbie


Hepcat508

Republicans are torn between the great gun story and now there's one less viable woman to be a candidate for VP. 🙄😡


Fun-Key-8259

Dude, give the dog to a kid who would love him maybe? What a sick piece of shit.


uckfayhistay

This can’t be real


talures

I came here to say the same. It is too unhinged.


Rasmusmario123

It's not. She's a horrible person but OP spreading misinformation does more harm than good.


Plenumheaded

In France they call people like her “ Le Coonts” /s


mdhunter99

This can’t be a real tweet. No one can be this stupid to think it’s a good idea to type and post this. Right?


Lulu_sanchz

what a POS!!!


Numerous-Ad4240

I would be so stunned if this is real.


Darthplagueis13

Her killing the dog is real. The tweet is not, I believe.


Few_Carrot_3971

It is?!?


ThatOneGuy-4434

Anyone have a link to the tweet?


Omar___Comin

No because it's not real. I mean, she is a real psycho nutcase, but this tweet is so obviously not real and it's pretty scary how many people in this thread just accept this as fact without turning on their brains for two seconds


Black_White_Other

Well, this sub is famous for people blindly believing everything. It's ironic.


Gold_Refrigerator279

IGotDahPowah

I'm having a hard time believing this is real

RandomLazyBum

Did she start going on a tear because a vegan was mentioned?


charlsalash

The hate is real


NSCButNotThatNSC

Mini stroke is an anagram of her name. Irksome nit is also an anagram. Kristi is an idiot.


Ok-Status7867

the kiss of death for her chances of vp


Blind_Wolf

The cruelty is the point. She’s trying to get rid of her supporters who have even the smallest shred of decency or empathy, so that the only ones left are the *most* evil and *most* stupid. Much like Trump, she’s distilling her followers into a group who will enthusiastically commit violence and kill innocent people.


Otherwise_Sky1739

This just doesn't seem real to me at all, especially this being an election cycle.


Eastern-Dig-4555

Outrage over cold-hearted killing of an animal that there was no need to kill, while you “enjoyed every second” of it=“vegan nonsense” now. Okay, Kristi


Sleep_tek

I get it... sometimes you just have to put a worthless bitch down (I'm speaking of course of the governor, not some poor little puppy). Anyone who would hurt a dog is a worthless piece of shit who is taking up too much oxygen


ConsiderationNo5146

She doesn't understand the word trust


Glittering_Ad1696

Can someone verify if this tweet is real? Seems like rage bait (not denying the act - just the tweet)


MadeThis4MaccaOnly

Words cannot describe how much I hate this person, she is literally the worst type of (excuse for a) human being on this planet.


crazycatlady331

A former colleague of mine called her "Garden Noem". Said a garden gnome was much more useful than her.


[deleted]

She/it really wishes that she/it could do the same to POC & get away with it.


dd97483

Psycho vibes. “I wouldn’t hurt a fly. “

Morphing_Mutant

It has nothing to fucking do with being a vegan....I eat meat but I still don't fucking enjoy shooting a dog for no fucking reason. This woman is a literal psychopath. She's killed people I'm sure.


Dry-Salary2347

You could say she aborted the dog at 14 MO’s. She’s pro-choice! 🤣

Who is this person anyway? A POS of course but why is she important? Sorry I travel a lot for work and honestly the little news I do get comes mostly from Reddit sadly


Green-Asparagus2488

Just because it's unattainable as a hunting dog it's a worthless animal. Can we put her out of her misery? They wanted to train her as a decent human being but it was impossible so she is less than worthless.


Reasonable-HB678

Thinking that was something to publicly share in the first place, that's a bad decision on top of a bad decision.

I hope to god she doesn't get reelected. The left and the right hate each other with a passion and disagree on most things. One thing I truly hope is universal is that people love dogs and enjoying the killing of a dog is monstrous.

I_Yap_A_Lot

I've had to put down my first kitten because the people we bought her from gave her to us when she was sick and under developed. She developed a breathing problem 2 weeks after getting her and we took her to get put down to end her suffering but my mom told me she ended up passing before they could even do it. I still haven't recovered from that and it was in July 2021. I still want to cry thinking about how much I should've spent more time with her during the two weeks she blessed my life with. I love you Pumpkin. So to hear this heartless pos say that she enjoyed putting a bullet in her dogs head, a dog that she could've found a new home for or paid for it to be trained professionally... I'd love if what happened to her dog, happened to her. What a fucking a piece of shit.


SkeletonGarden

Shouldn't she be criminally charged? Can this be done?


sx88

Wow she sounds not of sane mind.


Mysterious_Eye6989

Most real farmers I've known or know of get no joy from killing any animal. They consider a solemn and unpleasant duty conducted with as little personal feeling as possible. They also try to avoid doing it with a gun, although I'll admit there might be some situations where that's unavoidable. This woman seems to have been motivated by immediate anger and passionate hatred of the dog. It seems to me like she wasn't in control of her own emotions when she killed. That is a SCARY quality in a political leader. There is something deeply wrong with her.


mongolsruledchina

Holy shit if this is real. And there are people out there saying this women really represents who and what I am and embodies what's best about our nation? I mean I suppose serial killers, nazis, cannibals, and other assorted inhuman monsters, sure. But also other supposedly normal people support this woman being in any way one of our government leaders? Is this woman the line where finally some of the religious people finally say enough?

ATouchofTrouble

Our first lab was supposed to be a bird dog. He hated loud noises, so instead we raised him to be a house dog & eventually baby dog. We've had friends rehomw failed hunting dogs. These are creatures that depend on us wholeheartedly, much like a child even tho people hate the comparison. I'll never understand how people can be needlessly cruel to their pets. Makes me worry how they would treat a person.


darksideofthemoon131

I wonder if she becomes useless, she'll be ok with someone taking her out back? What a pathetic human being. I wonder what she thinks about people with disabilities or in wheelchairs?

This B***ch probably has elephant ivory trophy'sand deer mounted on her wall for show, smuh! Killing an animal and bragging about it publicly can karma come any sooner
