Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on Thursday night her portrayal on this week’s episode of “South Park,” which has garnered criticism from Washington for ripping President Donald Trump and his administration, is “petty” and “lazy,” but admitted she didn’t watch the episode.
Key Facts
Noem appeared on conservative radio host Glenn Beck’s show Thursday night, where she said it is “so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look.”
On the Wednesday night episode of “South Park,” Noem was portrayed wearing makeup and an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement uniform, and in one scene, her Botox procedure dissolved, causing the cartoon character’s face to melt.
On Thursday night, South Park made the image of Noem’s character’s face melting its profile picture across its social media platforms.
Noem called the portrayal “petty,” stating it’s “always the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t.”
In another scene, Noem is depicted shooting a dog—a reference to Noem’s own claim that she once shot and killed her young dog because it was aggressive—and conducting ICE raids at a live production of “Dora the Explorer” to target Latinos.
Vice President JD Vance, who is also satirized in the episode as a comedically short sidekick to Trump, responded to the episode on Thursday morning: “Well, I’ve finally made it.”
