ICE Barbie Lashes Out at 'South Park' After It Tore Her Apart [View all]

Last edited Fri Aug 8, 2025, 12:34 PM - Edit history (1)

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out at South Park’s “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 hasn’t seen the episode, claiming she was “going over budget numbers and stuff,” but criticized South Park nonetheless.

“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” the 53-year-old said.

“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,” she added.

South Park’s 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.
