Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revisited a two-decade-old controversy over her decision to kill her hunting dog, insisting she acted out of necessity, and has and always will, love animals.
Noem, who was given the moniker “ICE Barbie” for her love of dolling up on publicity stunts pushing the U.S. crackdown on migrants, made the remarks on the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast with Miranda Devine.
The avid hunter has defended killing her hunting dog, a 14-month-old female wirehaired pointer named Cricket, 20 years ago. She also revealed that she killed a “disgusting, musky, rancid” male goat who “loved to chase” her kids and was “nasty and mean” because it had not been castrated.
