Jeffco GOP cancels Kristi Noem event amid dog-killing controversy

The progressive group ProgressNow planned to hold a protest outside the Jeffco Republicans event, inviting people to gather with their “well-behaved dogs.”

On Friday, Jeffco Republican chair Nancy Pallozzi claimed without evidence that “someone always gets hurt” when organizations like ProgressNow organize protests.

As recently as Wednesday, Jeffco Republicans insisted the event would go on, despite growing condemnation of Noem’s actions and her choice to double down in defense of them...

we'll take the puppies and kitties. I think it's interesting to see the right-wingers defending her.

This dog incident apparently happened 20 years ago when her daughter was a child. Still waiting for the daughter to speak up about what it was like for her dog to be murdered when she was just a child. Kristi has tried other dodges but has been silent on this angle. Will her daughter defend the dog killing or does Kristi know this is another ticking bomb she is sitting on?
