‘South Park’ Claps Back at Kristi Noem After She Slammed the Show — and the Response Is Epic

South Park has dished out a not-so-subtle response to Kristi Noem’s criticism of how they portrayed her.

On Saturday, August 9, the animated sitcom updated their profile picture across their social media platforms to feature the 53-year-old United States Secretary of Homeland Security’s cartoon version from the show.

In the photo, Noem’s character wears an ICE uniform, and her face appears droopy and deformed.

The long-running comedy series initially poked fun at Noem in the second episode of Season 27 titled “Got a Nut,” which aired on Wednesday, August 6.

During the episode, Noem’s character shoots multiple dogs — seemingly in reference to Noem revealing she once shot her 14-month old dog — and goes on ICE raids, all while her face appears to be melting, which she needs her glam team to help her with.

Noem slammed the series on the Thursday, August 7 episode of “The Glenn Beck Program” podcast after the episode aired.

“It never ends. But it’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” she remarked. “It’s always the liberals and extremists who do that.”

“If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, [so] they just pick something petty like that,” Noem added.

The first two episodes of South Park’s latest season are now streaming on Paramount+.
