"Kristi Noem Slams 'South Park' as 'Lazy' and 'Petty' Over Mocking Her Appearance — Here's What She Said"

 In a fiery response to her portrayal in South Park's latest episode, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized the show's depiction as "lazy" and "petty."

The episode in question, titled "Got a Nut," aired on August 6, 2025, and satirized Noem's role in the Trump administration.
