The new season of “South Park” continues to skewer politics and Christianity. In its latest episode, the show put Kristi Noem, J.D. Vance, and Charlie Kirk in its crosshairs.

Kirk is the cofounder and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), as well as an author and conservative media personality.

The latest “South Park” episode pokes fun at ICE (United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and debating students, portrayed similarly to the open-air debates Kirk holds on college campuses to discuss topics like abortion and same-sex marriage.

Editor’s note: “South Park” is vulgar and explicit.

The part of the episode that focuses on debating is based on a “South Park” student, Clyde Donavan. Donavan started a podcast he calls the “Channel of Truth” that is dedicated to debating people. But fellow student Eric Cartman claims that Donavan stole his “shtick” as the school’s master debater.

While “South Park” doesn’t directly parody Kirk, the show mirrors his likenesses and mannerisms, including his hairstyle, a Bible on the table near him, and how he frequently drinks from a plastic water bottle while students debate him.

In one of the debates, Donavan asks his critics to “prove him wrong” and mentions Scripture while discussing gender.

“Welcome to the channel, guys, looks like a lot of whiny babies,” Donavan said. “Have a problem with what I say? So prove me wrong.”

“You said nothing good ever came from the Jews. But if that’s true, why are bagels so yummy?” one student asks. Donavan responds in a very Kirk-like fashion, saying, “Well, you’ve obviously been taught by the Jews to have a problem with this school and with America. So let me ask you this, what is your definition of a woman?”

“What?” the student replies.

“What is a woman? It’s a very simple question,” Donavan says.
