Comedy Central has pulled a controversial “South Park” episode that parodied Charlie Kirk after the conservative activist was gunned down at a Utah college on Wednesday.

The Paramount Skydance-owned network quietly removed the rerun of the episode “Got a Nut” from its cable lineup Wednesday night, just hours after Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Instead of airing Season 27, Episode 2 — in which Eric Cartman adopts Kirk’s mannerisms and appearance for a satirical college debate podcast — Comedy Central slotted in Episode 1 from the same season.

Okay, I'll bite. No, he was formerly a vile being made of pure excrement pulled from a sewage processing facility. In the rest of the world his beliefs would make him an outcast and he would be spreading his message in churches and rural community centers. Suggesting that someone shares his beliefs is actually pretty offensive
