Not even Kristi Noem is taking the bait on this one.
Newsmax’s Eric Bolling was the latest to roll out a wild theory on how a tale of Noem shooting a puppy to death and a separate anecdote that turned out to be false about meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
“I’ve also written a couple of books and I know how the process works, you write some chapters. You don’t write the whole book at once. You write a chapter or two, you send it to the editor and they edit, they read it, they add, they subtract. And here’s my question, the editor … was she possibly a plant, a liberal plant?” Bolling asked her in a TV interview.
No, the buck always stops with me. I take my own full responsibility. I wrote this book and I take responsibility for what’s in it,” Noem responded.
Bolling wasn’t the first person to toss that theory out there.
