Fox Business panel tears into 'hideous' Kristi Noem: 'There's no going back from this'

A panel of guests on Fox Business condemned South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) after she admitted killing a 14-month-old puppy in a recent book.

Fox Business guest host Ashley Webster noted Monday that Noem had doubled down by defending herself on social media.

"What a terrible idea," Webster said. "Whoever came up with, yeah, put that story in, Kristi, people will love it."

Conservative pundit Joe Concha tore into Noem.

"This story, Ashley, as a dog owner my whole life, absolutely makes my blood boil on two levels," he remarked. "How utterly heartless do you have to be to shoot a 14-month-old dog in the face?"

"I can guarantee you many people would have raised their hand to take that dog in," he observed. "You just don't go ahead and murder it."

Concha insisted that Noem had "destroyed" any chance of being Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate.

"There's no going back from this," he said. "I'm sorry. You don't shoot dogs in the face. I don't care what they've done."

Former Republican lawmaker Jason Chaffetz agreed.

"So I give her an A+ for being honest about it," he said. "But she just destroyed her political career."

"I don't think there's anybody on any side of the aisle, any human being that thinks it's acceptable to go to a gravel pit and shoot a dog in the face and kill it when it's 14 months old," he added. "I mean, that's just hideous. So she's done politically."
