California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom focused his trolling of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, creating a fake dog obedience school ad for the self-professed puppy killer.

In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem bragged about shooting and killing her 14-month-old Wire-haired Pointer puppy named Cricket after she failed to train it properly and without trying to rehome the dog to a competent trainer or a hunting dog rescue.

Noem claimed killing the puppy, and a goat she went home to get after shooting Cricket, proved her hard decision making capabilities. People—especially farmers, ranchers, and hunters—disagreed, saying Noem's actions proved her inability to weigh options and make the best choice, instead of lashing out in the fit of rage she described having in her book.

Since Noem made her puppy killing proclivity public, she's been repeatedly ridiculed and mocked for it, famously and hilariously by South Park.

Now Newsom's social media team, who have previously targeted Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump propaganda minister and puppeteer Stephen Miller, is using Noem's boast about killing a puppy to troll the controversial Trump cabinet member. Newsom's office previously dubbed Noem “Kosplay Kristi” over her frequent costumed photo ops.

On November 13, the Governor Newsom Press Office account posted a photo on X, captioned:

"Sign up today!"

The photo said:

"KRISTI NOEM’S DOG OBEDIENCE SCHOOL: She’ll Treat Them As Good As She Treats Brown People."

Noem used the official Department of Homeland Security account to lash out in response to the mockery.

Some people took exception to making a joke about Noem's animal cruelty.


But Newsom's office responded:

"dude, she’s a self-admitted puppy killer"

Others acknowledged Noem bragged about her animal cruelty.

That look of betrayal..."Dad. I don't like this show" ~Doggo That dog is too young to be watching Hassan livestream.'Kristi Noem has entered the chat.' Kristi Noem is like a box of chocolates. All the good stuff was picked out ages ago & she absolutely will kill your dog.

If Donnie's the "dog that didn't bark" maybe we should introduce him to Noem as "untrainable"??And tell her he looks like a goat, too

In addition to her animal cruelty, Noem is also drawing criticism for her racially biased abductions of United States citizens, documented immigrants, and undocumented immigrants and for her extravagant lifestyle at taxpayers' expense, earning her the nickname "ICE Barbie."

Trump Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.
