‘South Park’ doubles down after Noem calls portrayal ‘lazy’

The creators of “South Park” released an alternative ending to a recent episode making fun of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem after she called the show’s depiction of her “lazy.”

The show published a clip on the social platform X showing an animated Noem walking into a pet store, taking out a gun and firing several shots while dogs yelped.

“Didn’t see this on TV?” the show asked. “Here’s the Paramount+ version of the end credits scene.”

Noem took heat in 2024 for describing how she killed a dog she owned after a family hunting trip, details she revealed in her memoir.

The “South Park” post came in lieu of a new episode Wednesday.

The show has taken direct aim at President Trump and his allies with its first several episodes of this season, mocking Noem in its most recent episode, making fun of her appearance and the immigration operations conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that,” Noem said, responding to last week’s episode. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”
