Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk may have solidified himself as a pop culture figure, as it appears to have been parodied by “South Park.”
In the teaser released Tuesday in upcoming episodes, Kirk’s portrait was adopted by iconic “South Park” character Eric Cartman.
“You can stay quiet because you hate America and love abortion,” Cartman screams at fellow student Bebe Stevens.

Kirk quickly accepts the parody and changes his X profile picture to a screenshot of Cartman, Posts “I’m watching this very much.”
Talk to Fox News DigitalKirk said he laughed when he first saw the teaser, and multiple people said they sent him clips. He initially thought he was “some sort of AI troll.”
“I think that’s a bit interesting and I think it’s to show the cultural impacts that our movement can achieve,” Kirk told Fox News Digital. “That’s why I see this as a badge of honor.”
Kirk said he has never seen “South Park” as much as he has done in high school in recent years, but he is grateful that the long-term animated series is a “equal opportunity criminal.”

It’s unclear what personas like Cartman’s Kirk do in the episode, but it will air on August 6th, when last week’s season premiere may give clues.
In the previous episode, Cartman lost morale after being declared “awakening” and gave the mouth-sucking, aggressive fourth-year students a crisis of identity so that everyone else in South Park would strip away from their cultural sensitivity. Meanwhile, controversy broke out in his hometown when South Park Elementary School began injecting Christianity into schools.
“I’m looking forward to seeing it because as conservatives we need to be able to joke about it. “It’s something the left has always done to do big damage to themselves and their movements.”
“They are professional comedians. They’re probably going to roast me. I think it’s okay. That’s what it’s all about. “From a religious perspective, we’re all sinners. We’re all not at the glory of God. From a more practical perspective, we’re all broken people. We’re stopping to take ourselves seriously. That’s probably one of the problems we had in our politics.

“South Park,” airing on Comedy Central, did not punch the president Donald Trump After Paramount, the network’s parent company, reached a massive settlement with him earlier this month and settled his “60-minute” lawsuit.
In the 27th season premiere, Trump was repeatedly compared to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein (who “South Park” had previously satirized during the Iraq War), portraying him as literally in bed with Satan, mimicking him to level the threat of the lawsuit. This episode quickly went viral to showcase graphic depictions of the president and his genitals life.

“The show hasn’t been related in over 20 years and is hanging in a thread with ideas that have not been inspired by a prominent, high-profile attempt,” White House spokesman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. “President Trump has fulfilled more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history, and we cannot derail President Trump’s passionate streak.”
“South Park” creators Tray Parker and Matt Stone have recently reached a whopping $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount.
