A Democrat lawmaker is getting skewered for making a 'racist' joke about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Recently, the South Dakota Governor - and former congresswoman - has caught flak after excerpts from her new book detailed how she shot and killed her own dog and incorrectly claiming that she met with Kim Jong Un.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., circulated a video of Noem on Monday writing, 'Why am I getting the feeling that she wanted to eat dog with Kim Jong Un,' before later deleting the post from X and apologizing.
But Moskowitz's attempt at humor infuriated some, including Korean-American Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., who called the post 'racist.'
'There is no excuse for racist stereotyping – especially by a Member of Congress,' she posted in response to Moskowitz.
'I’ve experienced this kind of discrimination firsthand. So have many of my constituents. It must not be tolerated.'
Moskowitz has made several jabs at Noem for the apparent tall tales released in her book titled 'No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.'
Noem, 52, confessed in her book to killing her family farm dog while her kids were at school.
The excerpt was immediately picked up and and shared widespread online – potentially complicating the Republican's chances of being selected as Donald Trump's vice president.
According to the story, she had to shoot the family dog named Cricket because he was repeatedly misbehaving and she thought he could pose a threat to her kids.
Another portion of the book mentioned her meeting the the North Korean leader.
