Kristi Noem responds after South Park episode where she shot a dog working for ICE

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has issued a response after South Park brutally mocked her in a recent episode.

The creators of the much-loved comedy are certainly not afraid to poke fun at politics in the US, having even depicted Donald Trump in bed with Satan during a recent episode.

And in its latest episode, several senior officials from the Trump administration were featured.

In the South Park episode, Trump was portrayed at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida along with Vice President JD Vance and the devil.

Mr. Mackey is fired from the school and eventually finds a new path working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

With backing from the Head of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, Mackey is soon flown to Trump’s Florida resort, where he meets both the POTUS and VP.

South Park creators took aim at Noem's appearance during Wednesday night's episode, which detailed her Botox running out.

The Secretary of Homeland Security's cartoon avatar was also shown shooting and killing dogs for an instructional video used by ICE.

After the episode titled 'Go a Nut' dropped this week, Noem has admitted she hasn't watched the episode, but has issued a response to the creators of South Park.

Slamming the episode as 'petty' and 'lazy' on the Glenn Beck podcast, Noem said: "I didn't get to see it. I was going over budget numbers and stuff. But you know, I just think it's...um...yeah, it never ends.

"But it's so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that."

Noem added: "If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that."

Despite the risky jokes, the latest season of South Park has been a huge success, much to the White House's dismay.

The debut season 27 episode attracted 5.9 million fans across Paramount+ and Comedy Central, while new data collected by Nielsen found that the viewership number grew 68 percent compared to season 26.

The Trump administration is certainly not happy, however, with White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers saying: "The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end and for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show."

Rogers also said: "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak."
