Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has blasted South Park creators as “lazy” and “petty” after the show cruelly mocked her appearance — depicting her as a vain, botoxed bimbo.
“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem, 53, told Glenn Beck on his podcast Thursday.
“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, they just pick something petty like that.”
Noem admitted she hadn’t watched the latest episode in which she’s portray as a glammed up ICE agent who loves Botox, kills puppies and arrests anyone who is Hispanic.
She said was too busy “going over budget numbers and stuff.”
It comes after the White House ripped South Park as “irrelevant” and accused the show’s creators of desperately grasping for attention following spate of recent episodes that roast President Trump and his administration.
The day before the Noem episode aired, Homeland Security used an image from the show to advertise its ICE recruitment drive.
“We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment: We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country,” a statement from the agency said ahead of the show.
“Benefits available to new ICE recruits include an up to $50,000 signing bonus, student loan forgiveness, and retirement benefits.”
