TV host Jimmy Kimmel has savaged Kristi Noem’s history of animal abuse after her mysterious allergic reaction this week. On Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian referenced the Homeland Security Secretary’s memoir, which revealed she had killed her own pet dog. Cricket, a 14-month-old wire-haired pointer, had an “aggressive personality,” according to Noem’s book, No Going Back. She writes bluntly about fatally shooting the dog, stating: “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done.” Noem was hospitalised on Wednesday after an allergic reaction but has since been discharged. No information has been released about the cause of the reaction. On his show, Kimmel said, “Kristi Noem… had to be rushed to the hospital yesterday for what they said was an allergic reaction. I hope she had an allergic reaction to a dog, I really do.”
