Noem Slams ‘South Park’ for ‘Petty’ Portrayal of Her

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has criticized Comedy Central’s “South Park” for its recent spoofing of her, calling it “lazy” and targeting women unfairly. In an interview on The Glenn Beck Program podcast, Noem expressed frustration with the show’s portrayal of her as a dog shooter, likening it to criticism by liberals and extremists who “pick something petty”. She suggested that if they wanted to criticize her job performance, they should do so directly rather than resorting to ridicule. Vice President JD Vance took a different approach, responding to his own depiction on the show with humor.
