Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out at South Parks lazy and petty parody of her just days after ICE used the show to promote its own recruitment drive.
Speaking to Glenn Beck on his radio show, Noem said Thursday that she hasnt seen the episode, claiming she was going over budget numbers and stuff, but criticized South Park nonetheless.
It never ends, but its so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look, the 53-year-old said.
Its always the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they cant, they just pick something petty like that, she added.
South Parks parody of Noem depicted her as an ICE agent in full glam who loves posing for the camera, killing puppies, using Botox, and arresting anyone suspected of being Hispanic.

What really upset her is the show mocking her looks.
Policy criticisms don't faze them, but criticizing their appearance really gets under their skin.

(69,643 posts)A person who regularly dresses up in costumes for the camera, who has had very obvious plastic surgery, and wears tons of makeup and hair products - it's a bit ironic for her to complain about people discussing her looks.
I agree that it's sexist to pick on female politicians for their looks but Noem's cosplaying screams "look at me!!!" This is different from, say, picking on Sarah Palin or MTG for their looks. I don't like them but they do try to dress professionally. Most of the time.

This wicked beeeeeatch would be a cross dresser as a bird. She HAS to be the focus.
GQP women are sooooooo fucking ugly to the bone.
And it goes without saying what GQP men look like to the bone.

(131,230 posts)I never saw such a bunch of whiney snowflakes, and I don't remember that harsh criticism or satire ever got that kind of complaining from any previous administrations. W and his minions got some really savage treatment (generally well-deserved) from comedians and others, and as reprehensible as they were, they were at least smart enough to ignore it. SNL has been picking on presidents and other politicians since Ford. https://theweek.com/feature/briefing/1019449/a-history-of-presidential-parodies-on-saturday-night-live I don't recall any of them whining about it. If you're going to go into government you need a very thick skin, but apparently ICE Barbie can't handle it. And of course Taco Pedo regularly has hissy fits on Fake Twitter about how mean somebody was to him on TV.

She thinks she looks gorgeous.
So she is shocked and angry at the criticisms.
Person who has to wear her hair extensions just so, wavy and over her front lapels...has had massive amounts of filler injected into her face and lips...and botoxes until her filler face can't move...
...complains people are pointing out her looks.

(97,268 posts)much money hoping people will comment. But your expectations for the type of comments you want might not match the reality of the comments you get. New ain't always improved.
Her face scurrying around like the alien baby (tiny Xenomorph) from the movie "Alien" was hilarious.

She patted herself on the back about getting rid of the shoe rule when you check in at the airport because everyone was screaming!
But she refuses to listen to the uproar across America over the Gestapo tactics of ICE agents wearing masks, lacking badges, kidnapping lawful, hard working immigrants who are going through their paces to become citizens and hiding out in courtrooms and ICE offices to pick off people as they show up to their required check-ins.
And all the pedophiles, rapists and murderers they are riding the country of, leaving the biggest crooked pedo in plain view in our White House.
She's not just ICE Barbie, she's Nazi ICE Barbie. What a sad excuse for a human being! America would be so much safer if she SELF-DEPORTED!
And, took that orange piece of trash with her!
