MAGA diehards are now blaming South Park for the death of Charlie Kirk [View all]
MAGA supporters are accusing South Park of being to blame for the shooting death of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
The shooting has shocked the world and prompted furious reactions from the conservative activist’s supporters and friends.
Theories being spread on social media regarding the shooter’s motive have stretched to a recent episode of South Park, which centres around a parodied version of Kirk played by the character Eric Cartman.
The Aug. 6, 2025, episode, called “Got a Nut,” shows Cartman visiting college campuses for “debates” like Kirk, adopting his hairstyle and mannerisms. Kirk was shot dead at a college event in Utah.
The episode, which ends with the ‘Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters’ being handed out, was described as “hilarious” by Kirk himself in a TikTok posted on Aug. 7.
However, some of Kirk’s supporters believe the parody may have helped to lead to the shooting.
“You know what, f--- it. Let’s blame South Park,” one wrote on X,.“Blame the media. Blame leftist rhetoric. These people hate you and want to see you dead. If they’ll kill Charlie Kirk and piss on his grave, they’ll do it to any of us.”
