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 activists supporters and friends.
Theories being spread on social media regarding the shooters 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 Kirks supporters believe the parody may have helped to lead to the shooting.
You know what, f--- it. Lets blame South Park, one wrote on X,.Blame the media. Blame leftist rhetoric. These people hate you and want to see you dead. If theyll kill Charlie Kirk and piss on his grave, theyll do it to any of us.

South Park hadn't a thing to do with it.
I have always said, Republicans sit on their hemorrhoidal asses, and point their shit stained fingers at everyone but themselves.
