The creator of South Park has broken his silence with a savage statement on the brutal Trump episode that sparked anger in the White House.
While the show is known for poking fun at anyone, it seems the White House hasn’t found the funny side.
Now, Trey Parker, who created the controversial animation show, has responded to the White House after they took shots at the series for mocking President Donald Trump.
This comes after the TV programme premiered its 27th season recently, with an episode featuring a scene where the president jumps into bed with Satan himself.

During the scene, Trump gets undressed and joins the devils under the sheets but his sexual advances are rejected.
When the president can’t take the hint, his character says: “Come on Satan, I’ve been working hard all day.”
Trump isn’t the first president to be mocked on South Park, in fact many might argue that an appearance on the show is a rite of passage when you are in the public eye.

But it doesn’t seem that the White House has seen it that way.
Instead, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said: “The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end - for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offensive’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show.
“Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.
“President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history - and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

In true South Park fashion, one of the creators, Parker addressed the controversy while on the stage at San Diego's Comic-Con International at the beginning of a Comedy Central animation panel.
He simply said ‘we’re terribly sorry’, followed by a long, deadpan-comic stare.
The controversial episode, which is the first South Park offering in two years, is the first of 50 new episodes coming to Paramount.

Speaking of the new deal, Parker said: “We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract — it’s about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans.”
