South Park creators come out as Trump supporters

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have angered Hollywood by publicly announcing their support for President Donald Trump.

During a ‘Freedom’ awards ceremony last week hosted by left-wing activist group ‘People for the American Way’, Parker and Stone stunned the audience by announcing that they were die-hard Republicans.

As Dangerous.com writer Pawl Bazile noted:

Last week Trey Parker and Matt Stone sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry by announcing at an awards ceremony, “we’re republicans.”

The South Park creative powerhouses were receiving a “Freedom” award from People for the American Way and needed to reaffirm in front of the audience of high profile entertainment insiders, “No seriously, we’re republicans,” after the audience became uncomfortably chuckled [sic] at the concept of right wingers among them. Larry Elder tweeted about the crowd’s reaction saying:

Trey Parker & Matt Stone of @SouthPark asked me to introduce them when they received a ‘freedom’ award from Norman Lear’s organization. After they graciously accepted, they said, ‘We’re republicans.’ Nervous laughter. They repeated, ‘No, seriously, we’re republicans.’”

People for the American Way Foundation is an advocacy group for progressive values chaired by television legend Norman Lear from All in the Family and Sanford and Son fame. Lear has a consistent track of advocating for free speech and showcasing politically incorrect programming. However, the PFAW mission statement includes in no uncertain terms it is a “…progressive advocacy organizations founded to fight right-wing extremism[.]”

American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson notes that while Norman Lear is a doctrinaire liberal, he may be more open to freedom of expression than most of today’s modern left.

I can’t claim to know him well, but I spent a few hours with Norman Lear in the late 1980s discussing a business proposition he was considering on which he wanted some advice. We hit it off, and after our discussion, he took me on a tour of his offices on the studio lot and allowed me to sit in for a while with the writers working on his sitcom that was then in production. It was a fascinating thing for me to experience, and it helped me appreciate the process by which humor is manufactured in popular television.

I found Lear to be a sincere and honest person and sensed that he truly loves this country. He has an extensive collection of Americana, and I would not be in the least surprised if his dedication to free speech includes the speech of people with whom he disagrees. In that regard, he would be miles ahead of the assembled Hollywood types who were at the awards ceremony and who laughed nervously.

In any case, with this loud and proud declaration that they are not Democrats, Parker and Stone may just find that the left hates them all the more. But at this point, South Park has made them rich and famous, so they probably don’t much care what anti-American, fascist liberals think.
