Local Republican Party officials in Colorado say they canceled a scheduled fundraiser for South Dakota governor and U.S. vice presidential hopeful Kristi Noem due to alleged death threats.

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) will no longer attend a fundraiser in Colorado slated for Saturday after it was canceled due to threats against her that arose from an excerpt from her book that described her shooting her young hunting dog.

A county Republican group in Colorado said that it was cancelling a fundraiser featuring South Dakota governor and potential Republican vice presidential contender Kristi Noem after she reportedly described killing her young dog in her forthcoming book.
