Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi \u201cICE Barbie\u201d Noem has attempted to show she is unbothered by the brutal South Park<\/i> parody of her, by updating her social media profile.<\/p>\n
Noem was ridiculed on Wednesday when the latest episode of the unapologetic animated series heavily satirized Noem\u2019s penchant for cosplaying as a glammed-up ICE agent\u2014plus that time she shot her 14-month-old puppy Cricket<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though she criticized her depiction<\/a> on the show as \u201clazy\u201d and \u201cpetty,\u201d Noem appears to be warming up to the send-up. In addition to sharing a slightly altered image of herself from the episode on X, she updated her profile picture with the same image.<\/p>\n \u201cJOIN.ICE.GOV,\u201d Noem captioned the image. The post was reshared<\/a> by the official Homeland Security X account with the all-caps statement: \u201cTHE DEPORTATIONS WILL CONTINUE.\u201d<\/p>\n The South Park<\/i> still is taken from a section of the episode in which Noem hosts a training video for new ICE recruits while gunning down puppies. The image she shared is based on that depiction but shows the DHS secretary with added \u201claser eyes\u201d that were not in the episode.<\/p>\n Laser eyes is a meme used to suggest someone is growing stronger or reaching the height of their powers. It\u2019s prevalent in \u201cDark MAGA\u201d meme culture, and used to show that President Donald Trump and his MAGA acolytes are \u201cdone playing the nice guy,\u201d according to KnowYourMeme.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,\u201d Noem, 53, told Glenn Beck on his radio show on Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019t, they just pick something petty like that.\u201d<\/p>\n The Daily Beast has reached out to Noem\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n Noem is not the only MAGA die-hard ridiculed in the latest episode, nor is she the first to attempt to take control of the South Park <\/i>narrative. Trump, who featured in the first episode of the new season, was depicted once again as being in a relationship with Satan.<\/p>\n Vice President JD Vance was depicted as a tiny, Trump Mini Me-esque character, reminiscent of Herv\u00e9 Villechaize\u2019s Tattoo from the 1970s TV series Fantasy Island<\/i>. Vance commented on the parody of himself on X, saying: \u201cWell, I\u2019ve finally made it.\u201d<\/p>\n Right-wing commentator and podcast host Charlie Kirk also came under fire in the episode. The hate-filled Eric Cartman character is seen to be furious that Kirk and others \u201cstole his schtick\u201d with their adversarial content. Cartman attempts to cash in on the podcast trend with a Kirk-style haircut and similar \u201cmaster debating\u201d style.<\/p>\n
