South Park has seemingly responded after Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem called out creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for allegedly criticizing her looks.
In the latest episode of the 27th season of the much-loved comedy, several senior officials from the Trump administration were featured and had jokes aimed at them.
During this week's episode, Trump was portrayed at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida along with Vice President JD Vance and Satan. Like you do.
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, Noem, Mackey is soon flown to Trump’s Florida resort, where he meets both the POTUS and VP.
The episode took aim at Noem's appearance, which saw her Botox running low and a cartoon version of the Secretary of Homeland Security's face looking a bit disheveled.
Noem's avatar was also shown shooting and killing dogs for an instructional video used by ICE, while the governmental official was quick to issue a response.
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."
Well, it seems South Park has seemingly responded to Noem's comments by changing their profile picture on Facebook.
First picked up by Discussing Film on X, formerly known as Twitter, the account penned: "South Park has updated their profile photo on Facebook in response to Kristi Noem calling them sexist for criticizing her look."
The photo the official South Park account has used for its profile picture is a cartoon version of Noem, after her Botox seemingly gave way on her.
Amid all the jokes, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers has previously said: "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 added: "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."
