“South Park” co-creator Trey Parker offered a sarcastic apology to President Donald Trump during a Comic-Con event in San Diego. The brief apology followed the show’s recent season premiere, which featured heavy ridicule of the US president. Parker’s comment, “We’re terribly sorry,” was met with a sharp rebuke from the White House, which dismissed the show as “fourth rate”.

The controversy stems from the long-running animated satire’s opening episode, which took several “low blows” at the president. A particularly provocative scene depicted him naked in bed with Satan.
In a strongly worded statement, the White House responded to the episode, calling it a “desperate attempt for attention by a fourth rate show hanging on by a thread.” This exchange marks the latest instance of the famously controversial show taking on major political figures.
