South Park Takes Aim at Federal Takeover of DC Police in New Episode

"South Park" continued its cartoon assault on the Trump administration with an episode that addressed the federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s police department. The latest installment depicted the recurring character "Towelie" riding in a bus past landmarks like the Supreme Court building and the Capitol as armed troops marched in the streets. A tank rolled by in front of the White House.

The half-hour episode also roasted world leaders and tech CEOs for kowtowing to President Donald Trump. Eventually, Towelie ended up with the president in the Oval Office.

“It's so easy to make fun of women for how they look,”

said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in response to a previous episode that mocked her appearance. The same episode showed her shooting puppies, a reference to a story from her biography where she said she killed the family dog because of its behavioral issues.

The season premiere mocked Trump's body in a raunchy manner and depicted him sharing a bed with Satan. That scenario reappeared in the latest episode.

"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently signed a reported $1.5 billion, five-year deal with Paramount for new episodes and streaming rights to their series, which began its 27th season this summer.
