'SNL' Monologue: Not Even Radical Optimist Dua Lipa Can Put a Positive Spin on Kristi Noem Killing Her Puppy

During her "Saturday Night Live" monologue, Dua Lipa struggled to apply her "Radical Optimism" to the actions of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who admitted to killing her puppy and a goat. Lipa's attempts at humor with the audience highlighted her philosophy, but she firmly denied being able to spin a positive light on Noem's controversial actions. The governor's reputation faces severe bipartisan criticism, not only for her actions towards animals but also for other dubious claims in her memoir.
