Kristi Noem’s Attempt to Clap Back at South Park Ends in Embarrassment

Hours after Comedy Central's “South Park” savagely depicted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a Botox-enhanced ICE agent with a deteriorating visage, she appeared on Glenn Beck’s podcast, labeling the episode “petty” and “lazy.” However, within a day, Noem selected the very image she had criticized as her official profile photo, eyes eerily glowing red. This action seemed less a show of strength and more an attempt at damage control, given the episode's virality on social media. Noem claimed she hadn’t watched “Got a Nut,” but was preoccupied with budget matters. She condemned the focus on her appearance, asserting, “Only the liberals and extremists do that.” The episode portrayed her as ruthless, depicting dark humor tied to past comments she made about shooting a family dog. Later, South Park further escalated the satire, adopting Noem’s meme-worthy portrayal as their Facebook profile picture, resulting in a mix of reactions online that highlighted the ongoing cultural discourse surrounding her leadership.
