Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has blasted \u201cSouth Park\u201d creators as \u201clazy\u201d and \u201cpetty\u201d after the show cruelly mocked her appearance \u2014 depicting her as a vain, Botoxed bimbo.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt never ends, but it\u2019s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,\u201d Noem, 53, told Glenn Beck on his podcast 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

Noem admitted she hadn\u2019t watched the latest episode in which she\u2019s portray as a glammed-up ICE agent who loves Botox, kills puppies and arrests anyone who is Hispanic.<\/p>\n
She said she was too busy \u201cgoing over budget numbers and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes after the White House ripped \u201cSouth Park\u201d as \u201cirrelevant\u201d and accused the show\u2019s creators of desperately seeking attention following a spate of recent episodes that roasted President Trump and his administration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The day before the Noem episode aired, Homeland Security used an image from the show to advertise its ICE recruitment drive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to thank \u2018South Park\u2019 for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment: We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country,\u201d a statement from the agency said ahead of the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cBenefits available to new ICE recruits include an up to $50,000 signing bonus, student loan forgiveness, and retirement benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has blasted \u201cSouth Park\u201d creators as \u201clazy\u201d and \u201cpetty\u201d after the show cruelly…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":129050,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2398,171,5410,2399,80,27590,67,132,68,1154],"class_list":{"0":"post-129049","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-department-of-homeland-security","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ice","11":"tag-kristi-noem","12":"tag-politics","13":"tag-south-park","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-us-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114993192219437678","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
