JD Vance Accidentally Takes A Swipe At Kristi Noem's Most Notorious Scandal

JD Vance condemned animal mistreatment, contrasting his well-trained German Shepherd with Kristi Noem’s admission of euthanizing a puppy trained with a shock collar.

  • A viral Pod Force One clip showed Vance saying `If you can actually cause suffering to an innocent animal, you're probably the kind of person who doesn't worry about suffering in people as well`, on October 29, 2025, emphasizing dog mistreatment as a sign of a terrible person.
  • Prompted by a viral clip, Vice President JD Vance addressed dog training during Pod Force One, referencing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's disputed use of an electronic collar and his 4.8 million subscribers.
  • In her 2024 memoir No Going Back, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem admitted using an electric shock collar on Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, and later shooting her to death.
  • Social-Media reaction on X showed users ridiculing Vice President JD Vance's remarks while citing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's puppy story, which reportedly cost her a shot as Donald Trump's running mate.
  • Vance emphasized his dog Atlas was trained without shock devices, noting Secret Service agents praised Atlas while President Joe Biden's dog Commander has bitten agents, fueling debates on animal-cruelty policy and public figures.
