South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem stood by a passage in her upcoming book in which she chided that President Biden’s troubled dog Commander should “say hello to” Cricket, the 14-month-old dog that she recalled shooting.

Noem stressed that Commander, who was removed from the White House last fall following dozens of biting incidents, had presented safety issues to staffers and Secret Service agents.

“Joe Biden’s dog has attacked 24 Secret Service people. So how many people is enough people to be attacked and dangerously hurt before you make a decision on a dog,” Noem told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “That’s the question that the President should be held accountable to.”

The Republican governor ducked a question from moderator Margaret Brennan about whether she was saying “he should be shot.”
