The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon brutally ripped Kristi Noem’s husband after it was revealed he was an online “bimbo.”
The couple’s private life has been thrown into the spotlight after this week’s revelation, and the jokes are coming thick and fast.
The ousted Homeland Security Secretary had been rumored to have been having a barely-secret affair with her underling Corey Lewandowski long before a bombshell Daily Mail report uncovered her husband Bryon’s penchant for sending pictures of himself with comically large fake boobs to adult performers.
Fallon gave them no quarter, even taking the opportunity to skewer the embattled couple as he introduced Wednesday night’s guest, actors Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
“Zendaya and Robert star in a new movie called The Drama‚” Fallon said. “They play a couple whose relationship is threatened when a shocking secret is revealed. Kristi Noem heard and was like, ‘Can’t be that shocking.’”
Later in his monologue, he was in the middle of ripping into President Trump’s plummeting approval ratings when again Mr. and Mrs. Noem caught some more strays.
“Well, it’s been a rough couple of weeks for Trump, and now his approval rating has hit a new low,” Fallon said. “In response, Trump said, ‘These numbers don’t add up for me, but I’m just gonna plow ahead.’ And everyone using TurboTax said, ‘Numbers don’t add up, but you’re just gonna plow ahead. Join the club, bud.’ And Trump said, ‘It’s not a pretty picture, but I’m doing what I like.’ Then Kristi Noem’s husband said, ‘Not a pretty picture, but you’re doing what you like. Join the club, bud.’”
Insiders close to President Trump have since said that the revelation about Noem’s fetish took them by surprise, despite being aware of the alleged affair Secretary Noem was having with Lewandowski.
“Everyone assumed they had an unconventional marriage because she was in a relationship with Corey Lewandowski,” a source close to the White House told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday. “The assumption was that he was fine with it for whatever reason… because he was gay, or had his own arrangement. No one in their wildest dreams imagined this.”
Bryon, who has been married to the former Cabinet member for more than 30 years, has promised to tell his side of the story at some point.
When approached by the New York Times for comment following the Daily Mail’s shock story, he replied, “I will at some point. Today is not the day. I appreciate your heart.”
Bryon has admitted to taking part in “bimbofication,” dressing up as a woman, and having explicit conversations with others. His wife, nicknamed ICE Barbie for her love of cosplaying as law enforcement agents, was allegedly “blindsided” by the photos.
“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at this time,” a spokesperson said.
Noem lost her job last month after a slew of errors and expensive advertising campaigns. She has since been shipped off as the newly created envoy to the Shield of the Americas, a role replaced by former senator Markwayne Mullin.
