Kristi Noem’s new book, in which the South Dakota governor and Donald Trump vice presidential aspirant describes why she killed her 14-month-old dog, has sparked widespread outrage.

"What's your message to members of the House deciding how they are going to vote tomorrow? What do you want them to know, if there are any wavering members of Congress?
