It's so adorable how Gov Noem kills a bird to impress people. Warning, graphic

1. Is she gonna eat it? If not why shoot it?

[Maraya1969]

3. Whatever it was it looked small. Like something that you wouldn't eat unless you really had to

[MineralMan]

5. Not small. It was a pheasant.

Took her three shots to hit it.

[Klaralven]

9. Almost out of range and not hit solidly - hope they had a good dog to find it.

[MineralMan]

10. Almost certainly, that was a bird that was released

from a cage for her to shoot at. Pheasant hunting, even in South Dakota is an iffy thing. You can't count on even seeing a pheasant, much less plan to do a video of someone shooting one. Unless you release one to be shot.

As usual, this is a bullshit photo op.

19. And I wouldn't be surprised...

...if it was someone else off-camera who actually shot it.

13. Pen raised bird canned hunt?

[MineralMan]

14. Yes, almost certainly.

You don't hunt pheasants by standing in a corn field with cameras on you. Unless, of course, someone is crouching down and getting ready to release a caged bird.

That was staged for that commercial. And she almost didn't hit the bird anyhow.

Feh! I do not like Kristi Noem one little bit! Nope.

17. Iowa's Gov Covid-Kim Reynolds favorable rating last week was 50th in the Nation and dropping.

She works at it very hard. Medicaid Mental Health Covid response fail fail fail

2. I just reported the bitch. She should not be showing the killing of anything on a site that

children can access. It upset me to watch it, I'm sure it would upset kids

4. Goobers gotta be goobers.

6. Ringneck pheasant -- they are an invasive species from Asia

Pheasant hunting is a big sport in South Dakota, and a source of tourism dollars due to hunters from other states.

15. I wouldn't say invasive

They fill a similar niche to prairie chickens, but prairie chickens don't do well around farms. Not much untouched prairie left, even in South Dakota

[Klaralven]

16. Prairie chickens were also easier to hunt, and almost went extinct during the Depression

[Paladin]

7. No mystery as why hunting is less popular than it used to be. (nt)

[Tech]

8. People hunt and fish in my neck of the woods. In season, for sport, or for food. Catch and release.

One does not shoot a bird for a commercial. And one certainly does not use a gun for social distancing. Fail.

[Yeehah]

11. She is utterly vapid and extremely ambitious

It is an indictment of our society that such an unqualified person is elected to any position of responsibility.

[GeorgeGist]

12. Asshole.

[Le Roi de Pot]

18. Wha ?? The only way to social distance using a gun is to aim at other people --- not birds !!

Is she mental?
