A Sudden Withdrawal Amidst Tragedy

In a surprising move, Paramount has pulled an episode of *South Park* that satirized MAGA activist Charlie Kirk in the wake of his tragic assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Episode Still Available Online

While the episode titled "Got a Nut" remains available on Paramount+, it has been taken off Comedy Central's reruns. As the investigation into Kirk's death unfolds, with conflicting reports about a suspect's custody, tensions run high among his supporters.

Political Backlash and Temporary Removal

Sources indicate that the episode's removal may only be temporary, likely intended to let the political climate cool. Following the tragic event, Comedy Central swiftly replaced the episode with another from Season 27.

Kirk’s Initial Reaction to the Episode

Interestingly, when *Got a Nut* first aired on August 6, Kirk himself described it as a "badge of honor," sharing his pride on social media, even changing his profile picture to one featuring Eric Cartman.

Content of the Episode

The episode satirizes Kirk's debate style while tackling issues such as immigration enforcement. It features an amusing subplot about Mr. Mackey joining ICE and a character named Clyde Donovan taking on the persona of a provocative right-wing podcaster.

Returning to the Airwaves

*South Park* is set to return with new episodes on September 23, aiming to stir more conversation amidst ongoing political tensions.
