They go after everybody, everybody is up for grabs on South Park. I think that South Park does an amazing way of mirroring what is actually happening in the world right now, like we are having issues with our immigration - let’s not lie. Let’s be honest with the fact that America needs to make some changes with how things are being ran. And I’m in California, I need Gavin Newsom to go. I’m waiting for them to go after Gavin. Come on, y’all, Trey and Matt get on Gavin’s a** right now ‘cause he’s horrible. He trash. I don’t think it was crossing the line. They’ve been going after everybody. Red or blue - it don’t even matter. [Conservatives tend to] have a sense of humor, it’s the liberals that don’t.
