It was not a character attack. It was exposing her horrible lack of judgement.
It does not sound like a potentially dangerous situation. The breed is known to be gentle with people. Her daughter came home and asked where her dog, Cricket, was. Why would anyone allow a dog who was a danger to people around her children? She added that she hated the dog. I'm not buying it. It isn't falling for anything the media said. Her story is about as credible as Biden's grandfather having been eaten by cannibals. None of it makes sense. It smells, without the media's spin, that she killed a dog that couldn't hunt and killed chickens. I call bullshit on it. She was looking to make herself look like a badass. What she did was repulsive to millions of American voters. Cheyenne was right that it was stupid to put this in a book. It was stupid to put a book out when hoping to be on a presidential ticket.
The Trump pussy tape was blown out of context. That isn't what happened here.
