Comedy Central yanks ‘South Park’ episode mocking Charlie Kirk after his death

South Park remains one of the most polarizing shows on air. The show’s fans love it for its irreverence, but sometimes the creators’ attitude can make even the network that airs it get cold feet. As such, the Charlie Kirk–centered Season 27, Episode 2 has been pulled from Comedy Central.

There’s not a single viewpoint on the political landscape that South Park hasn’t made fun of in its 28 years of existence. In the George W. Bush era, the show somehow took aim at both Bush, the devil, and Saddam Hussein. In the second Donald Trump administration, the show brought back the devil as a recurring character to showcase just how evil they considered Trump had become. That wasn’t taken so well by the Trump administration.
