Why TPUSA Wants Comedy Central To Keep Airing Episode That Mocked Charlie Kirk

Comedy Central should continue to air the “South Park” episode that mocked the late conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, one of those closest to him is saying.

Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show” and a friend of the Turning Point USA founder, said that Kirk would not want the episode pulled from the network in the wake of his assassination at Utah Valley University

“Hey @paramountplus, as someone who can speak with some authority on this, Charlie loved that he was featured in South Park. He told me many times. He would want the episode back up,” Kolvet posted.

The episode, titled “Got a Nut,” originally aired on August 6 — and featured the character Cartman parodying Kirk’s debate style and mannerisms. The show even got a positive review from Kirk himself: “Not bad, Cartman.”

Another person commented on the way the show’s creators had animated Cartman put down the microphone and take a sip of water while listening to a question — and then pick it back up afterward — prompting Kirk to add, “Eerily spot on.”

Kirk also made a video response to the episode, saying that the fact that they were mocking him was proof of just how big the movement he started had become. “There’s going to be a lot said about this, but we need to have a good spirit about being made fun of,” he said. “This is all a success, this is all a win. We, as conservatives, we have thick skin, not thin skin. And you can make fun of us, it doesn’t matter. And until next time, I hope all of you all become master debaters for truth.”

@ComedyCentral Pulling the Charlie Kirk South Park episode isn’t what Charlie would have wanted.
