Seth Meyers Shreds Kristi Noem’s ‘Level Of Psycho’ With ‘Silence Of The Lambs' Line

Seth Meyers on Monday tore into South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem ® over her admission in her upcoming memoir that she once killed her badly behaved dog.

“What’s going on? Does she think cats can vote?” the “Late Night” comedian asked.

“It’s horrible enough to kill a dog but even crazier to brag about it,” he added. “That’s a level of psycho I didn’t even know existed. Even [‘Silence of the Lambs’ character] Buffalo Bill had the self-awareness to keep his abhorrent behavior indoors. He didn’t walk around town saying, ‘Hey, check out my new outfit. It’s a skin suit.’”

After receiving backlash, Noem doubled down and explained that “tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm” and that she “put down three horses a few weeks ago.”

“Way to change the narrative,” mocked Meyers.
