Comment on South Park removes episode mocking Charlie Kirk from Cable in respect

Was it South Park (as in Matt Stone and Trey Parker + studio) proper or was it Paramount and/or Comedy Central?
Seems like a very likely move that the studios pulled it. It seems unlike Matt and Trey to pull an episode, even as drastic as the situation is (don’t know that anything comparable that could be attributed to them has happened in the shows history - open to being corrected if I’m wrong on that).
You are correct that the decision appears to have originated at Comedy Central proper.
However, in the early 2000s there was something called a ‘South Park Republican,’ which was basically referencing younger, Libertarian-esque Republicans with an irreverent demeanor.

It’s my understanding that they just decided not to air that particular rerun on that particular day.
