Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Adopts South Park Caricature as Profile Photo After Satirical Episode

Her post fuels discussion of politicians treating mockery as a badge of relevance.

Overview

  • The Florida Republican set her X profile picture to a screenshot of her cartoon depiction from the episode “Sickofancy,” captioning it “#NewProfilePic.”
  • She offered no further comment, as users on X argued she was embracing a portrayal meant to ridicule her.
  • Season 27 of South Park has centered on President Trump and his allies and has drawn strong viewership, with the first two episodes exceeding about six million views each.
  • Earlier this month, Vice President JD Vance similarly shared his South Park caricature, presenting it as a milestone.
  • After the season premiere, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Variety the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.”
