Charlie Kirk South Park episode pulled off air after Trump ally’s death
- Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University.
- Comedy Central has removed a re-run of a recent South Park episode, which mocked Kirk, from its cable schedule, although it is still available to stream on Paramount+.
- Some of Kirk's supporters and MAGA figures have blamed the South Park episode and "leftist rhetoric" for inciting hatred that they believe led to his death.
- Despite Kirk himself describing the parody episode as "hilarious" in a TikTok post, critics argue the show "fomented the hatred necessary" for the incident.
- President Donald Trump has attributed Kirk's death to the "radical left," pledging that his administration will pursue those responsible for this and other acts of political violence.
