White House issues statement criticizing ‘South Park’ over episode parodying Trump and Paramount

UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – South Park's Season 27 premiere mocks Trump’s legal battles and anatomy shortly after creators signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount for 50 new episodes and streaming rights.

  • On Wednesday night, the Season 27 premiere on Comedy Central showed President Donald Trump in bed with Satan.
  • In 'Sermon on the Mount', the episode addresses Trump's run, his lawsuit with Paramount, and Colbert's cancellation, prompting criticism from White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers, who called the show 'a fourth-rate show' and 'hanging on by a thread'.
  • Trey Parker said `No you're not gonna blur the penis`, and Matt Stone noted they added eyes to the genitals in the deepfake Trump clip.
  • In Washington, Taylor Rogers responded, `This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years` and added `The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end`.
  • Earlier this week, South Park secured a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount, and Trey Parker said `I don't know what next week's episode is going to be`.
