      No, it’s true as-written too. Given that Kristi Noem shooting her dog is documented fact, whereas “immigrants are eating yer pets!!!111!” is entirely fictional bullshit pulled directly from some MAGA nutjob’s unwashed ass, 1 instance vs. 0 instances does indeed mean the former is (infinitely) more likely.

      It’s just that a cop shooting your pet is even more likely (by several orders of magnitude) than a Republican governor doing it. But again, both are literally infinitely more likely than fictional lies that don’t happen.
