Johnson reacted to a clip of Noem walking around the roof of the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility — the site of protests against Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown — as she spots the demonstrator wearing the yellow, fowl-themed garb on the sidewalk below.
“OK, OK, that doesn’t look that scary, but you have to remember how scary it is for her to encounter a farm animal when she’s unarmed,” he quipped of Noem, who used a 2024 book to describe killing a dog and a goat on her family farm.
“While there are people who identify as antifa, it isn’t really an official group,” Johnson began.
“They don’t even have a website. Like my cousin’s baby has its own website…”
He then questioned how “sophisticated” antifa could be before flipping to a clip of Noem likening antifa to the likes of MS-13, ISIS, Hezbollah and Hamas.
“Wait, what? And they’re here?” Johnson said.
“She made antifa feel like the Power Rangers of terrorism!”
