Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is not a fan of how she was portrayed on Wednesday’s episode of “South Park.” Speaking to CNN, Noem didn’t flag any objections to the main part of the portrayal—her fictional colleague on a crazy, puppy-killing rampage. Instead, she took issue with the show’s commentary on her personal aesthetic.
“It’s so lazy, it’s constantly making fun of women for how they look. Only liberals and extremists do that,” Noem said, calling on CNN. “If they wanted to criticize my work, go ahead and do it, but clearly they can’t. They’re just picking on something petty.”
If you haven’t seen the episode yet, the B-Plot sees Noem repeatedly murdering puppies while her makeup team struggles to keep her Botoxed face from falling apart. It’s a reference to her autobiography, where she reveals that she once killed a dog in a fit of rage , a story she apparently thought reflected well, as well as a reference to her very well-documented “MAGA makeover.”
Meanwhile, the “South Park” depiction continues the puppy murder subplot to the point where Noem kills Krypto, the dog from “Superman,” and then in the end credits, where Noem is last seen entering a pet store with her rifle.
