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.

How he lives, and the cruel opinions he so loudly pushed, thats his character.

Now he's dead. How WE deal with the death of a notable person, that's our character.

Most of the time I'm disappointed he was such a hateful personality right up to his death. I want to believe that experience and a cataclysmic event can introduce people to a better way of thinking. He didn't get his chance for this second chapter, like so many people don't.

That's the tragedy here, and most of the time I believe that.
