‘South Park’ mocks Karoline Leavitt in Trump episode, Internet recognizes her because of ‘cross necklace’

WASHINGTON, DC: 'South Park' took a sharp jab at President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, delivering a satirical spin on current political tensions in its latest episode.

The animated spoof shows Trump throwing a lively poolside party at the White House, only to be interrupted by his press secretary Leavitt, who urges him to respond to an angry caller protesting religious messaging in schools. 

Trump brushes off the complaints and threatens to sue the town of South Park. The episode further stirs controversy by revisiting Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with Satan confronting him over Instagram rumors.

Viewers quickly reacted online, with many praising the show's spot-on portrayal of Leavitt.

How did South Park's episode portray Karoline Leavitt and Trump?

'South Park's Season 27 premiere episode kicks off with President Trump hosting a lively garden party at the White House, complete with snacks, drinks, and guests relaxing in the pool.

As the festivities continue, Trump, clearly in a cheerful mood, heads inside and is met by a caricature of Karoline Leavitt, dressed in a purple blouse and wearing her signature cross necklace. It was the necklace which made the resemblance too big to ignore.

Holding out her phone, she urges him to step in: “Sir, can you please talk to them? They’re really riled up.”

Leavitt's outfit in the show mirrors her real-life White House briefing look and the character pops up a few times urging Trump to speak to his enraged supporters.

Trump takes the phone, replying casually, “Alright, give me that,” and answers with a flippant, “Hey, relax god.” On the other end, an outraged caller, surrounded by equally upset townspeople, demands answers: “Yeah, hi. Uh, what do you think you're doing? Our children are being told that they have to sit with Jesus at lunchtime.”

Trump brushes it off with, “Listen, buddy. You just need to relax. All this protesting makes me look bad. Just take a rest.”

The caller refuses to back down, insisting, “Well, no. We're not going to give it a rest. All of the people here in South Park want some goddamn answers.” Trump fires back, “All right, then I'm gonna sue your whole town. You got that?"

The episode then cuts to Trump cozying up to Satan again, a callback to the 'South Park' movie in which Saddam Hussein was seen in bed with the devil.

Satan, clearly irritated, says, “I’m not in the mood. Some random b***h commented on my Instagram that you’re on the Epstein list.” Trump shrugs it off: “The Epstein list? Are we still talking about that?” Satan presses him, “Well, are you on the list or not? It's weird that whenever it comes up you just tell everyone to relax.”

Internet can’t stop talking about Karoline Leavitt’s animation in 'South Park'

'South Park' fans flooded social media with reactions to Karoline Leavitt’s animated appearance in the latest episode.

There was one who mistook the character for Pam Bondi, but another viewer pointed out how he was mistaken. The social media user claimed: "I knew it was Leavitt because of the cross necklace."

Leavitt is known for publicly displaying her faith as she typically wears the necklace during briefings and interviews.

'The Daily Show' host Jon Stewart had skewered Leavitt last month, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”

And since the jab, trolls and fans have noticed that Leavitt doesn't seem to be wearing her cross necklace as often anymore. Still, the cross has become almost synonymous with her image.

One viewer tweeted, “In South Park, created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, President Trump is throwing a party while some of his voters in South Park want some answers. I think the woman at the end is supposed to be Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt but I could be wrong.”

Another X user praised the portrayal, writing, “The Karoline Leavitt South Park animation is spot on… perhaps their most accurate non-Canadian one.”

One fan wrote with a hint of sarcasm, "Excited to see how @KarolineLeavitt, the honest and transparent Press Secretary, reports on Trump Admin efforts in season premiere of South Park! #greatjob #directcommunication."

A Facebook user chimed in, “Honestly they really didn’t do much to her in this episode. I watched it twice, loved it both times, I’ve got no idea what “takedown” they did on her.”

Others were more blunt. One commenter remarked, “But [She] actually looks better than her in real life,” while another simply celebrated, “It was awesome.”

One fan on Facebook summed it up with: “That was funnier than hell to watch.”

Another viewer said they felt the 'South Park' creators were still not done. "I have a feeling they are gonna go medieval on the Trump Admin over this," read their comment.
