The White House responded to Governor Kristi Noem on Monday, suggesting that she should refrain from further comments that could damage her reputation. Noem had previously raised questions about President Joe Biden’s dog, Commander, who was removed from the White House after attacking Secret Service agents. The White House press secretary expressed concern over Noem’s remarks about putting dogs down, calling them disturbing and absurd. Commander is now living with Biden’s relatives in Delaware. Noem, who is rumored to be a potential vice presidential candidate, is facing backlash over controversial portions of a forthcoming book. She had previously euthanized a dog named Cricket and has also been criticized for errors in the book that will need to be corrected in future editions.
