Kimberly Guilfoyle on Wednesday tossed out a strange theory to explain away South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noems dog-killing admission.

One America News Network host Dan Ball asked Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr. , why the hell Noem would have copped in her new memoir to once shooting her 14-month-old pup dead.

The admission has been condemned by Republicans and Democrats alike with commentators on both sides of the aisle suggesting it has tanked Noems bid to become presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trumps running mate.

It makes no sense. I dont understand, said Guilfoyle. Ive always liked Gov. Noem. She works very hard, tirelessly on behalf of the movement.

Guilfoyle, who works with the no-kill animal welfare organization Furry Friends , cited her previous legal work as an animal abuse prosecutor as why the issue of animal rights is something I take really seriously.

I just cant imagine that because theres a forever home for all animals, explained Guilfoyle, who was ostensibly on the show to promote her new dog-themed childrens book The Princess and Her Pup .

Then she floated the theory: I dont know what happened, maybe somebody slipped that in and she didnt see it. I dont know, but it doesnt make a lot of sense to me, so thats a tough one to take.

The theory seems unlikely, though, given how Noem has since doubled down on the admission , spinning it as proving her decisive leadership skills and ability to do difficult things when needed.

Ball admitted there were tough decisions to be made on farms before regaling Guilfoyle with a story about his dad once shooting their dog dead after it was hit by a car, saying its a different world today.

Guilfoyle countered by saying there were organizations like Furry Friends that offer help to animals that have been terribly abused and abandoned that need serious medical care.

Guilfoyle reportedly began dating former President Donald Trumps eldest son in 2018, the same year she left Fox News amid allegations of sexual harassment.

Trump Jr. is an avid hunter who in 2012 drew ire after he posed with his brother Eric Trump alongside dead big-game animals during a safari in Africa.
