Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has reacted to South Park's jab against her in the recent episode that aired this week.

In the hit show's latest episode titled "Got a Nut," Noem was depicted as someone who has a deteriorating face and aggressively shoots all the dogs that she sees. She was part of the main storyline that saw Mr. Mackey joining ICE after he was fired due to federal budget cuts and participating in various raids around the country.

In an interview on The Glenn Beck Program podcast (via Newsweek), Noem hits back at South Park for their "lazy" jab against her in the recent episode of the series.

"It's so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. It's only the liberals and the extremists who do that. They wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that," she said.

Noem was not the only Trump Administration official who had reacted to the episode. Vice President JD Vance, who was also parodied and depicted as a small figure, weighed in on the show's jab against him on his post on X.

"Well, I’ve finally made it," he said.

So far, the White House has not issued a new statement regarding its reaction to the episode, which also took another jab at Donald Trump, similar to the premiere episode last month.

The latest episode of South Park, "Got a Nut," continued to poke fun at Trump by depicting him as a Mr. Roarke-type owner of Mar-a-Lago (akin to Fantasy Island), with Vance as his sidekick, who is physically depicted as a smaller figure similar to Tattoo.

In the main storyline, Mr. Mackey was revealed to have been fired as the elementary school's guidance counselor due to federal budget cuts. As a result, he decided to get a job in ICE and participated in various raids against the "Brown ones," including in a Dora the Explorer live show and heaven.

Noem was supervising the raids and participated in photo-ops to show herself as the tough leader of ICE. She was also shooting every dog that she saw, including in a pet grooming salon, during the end credits of the episode.

Meanwhile, Clyde and Cartman were feuding as they attempted to be the most popular podcaster for right-wing viewers. They ended up competing for a "Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters." Cartman also made himself look similar to Charlie Kirk.
