‘Irrelevant’ ‘South Park’ Claps Back at ICE for Contradicting the President
As the Right changes its course on South Park, someone from the White House’s social media team now has the unenviable job of explaining why they would dare to publicly controvert the statements of President Saddam Hussein.
When South Park returned to TV on July 23rd with brand new episodes following a grueling two-year hiatus, series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone came out swinging with a Season 27 premiere that brutally roasted Donald Trump by explicitly calling him a corrupt, small-dicked Middle-Eastern dictator who tramples on the Constitution, illegally silences critics and has a penis that is oh-so-tiny. The very next day after “Sermon on the ‘Mount” put out arguably the most brutal indictment against the President in the history of comedy, the White House released an official statement in which it dismissed the episode as partisan mudslinging, claiming that South Park “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years” and that “their popularity continues to hit record lows.”

Soon after the statement, “Sermon on the ‘Mount” broke Paramount+ streaming records, and the Right realized that South Park’s criticisms were a little too “relevant” to play off that easily. Now, the official Twitter account for the Department of Homeland Security is using stills from a promo for the upcoming South Park episode about Immigration Customs and Enforcement to advertise the recruiting site for ICE, prompting South Park to ask some pressing questions:
Within minutes of posting their clap-back, the South Park Twitter account officially ratioed Homeland Security and exposed the hypocrisy of the Trump regime that’s trying to have it both ways and pretend to be in on the joke just two weeks after it had a meltdown over the show’s criticisms. Unfortunately for the current administration, South Park has a longer memory than the goldfish-brained Trump supporters who have somehow forgotten that the President campaigned on a push to release the FBI’s files on Jeffrey Epstein, only to bury the story when he found his own name all over them.
Considering how “Sermon on the ‘Mount” went gloves-off on Trump and his cronies, it’s hard to imagine that tomorrow night’s new episode of South Park will be anything less than an excoriating portrayal of the secret police force emboldened by the President to kidnap legal residents and, in many cases, U.S. citizens off the street without due process.
But even more than Parker and Stone’s ICE parody, I’m looking forward to see what the White House says about poor, desperate, irrelevant South Park in their own post-episode discussion statement. Will they downgrade South Park to fifth-rate??
