The network pulled a planned rerun of the South Park episode titled “Got a Nut,” per The Wrap, which was featured in Season 27 of the long-running comedy series.
The episode featured Cartman slowly transforming into a parody of the controversial right-wing commentator to compete with his classmate Clyde, who rises to fame as a right-wing influencer.
Although the rerun was pulled Wednesday (September 10), it still remains available to watch and stream now on Paramount+.
In the episode, Cartman becomes furious that others are spreading anti-feminist and antisemitic rhetoric, which he is famous for on the show. As a result, he goes to extreme lengths to compete with Clyde and fully resembles the late Charlie at one point, complete with Charlie‘s hairstyle, debating a college student using a mic. You can watch a clip above.
Charlie was known for going to college campuses to debate students over social and political issues. He was at a Utah university when he was shot and killed.
As of right now, there is a person of interest identified by authorities.
