Ex-Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller on Friday argued that recent episodes of “South Park,” which have brutally clowned Donald Trump, are influencing MAGA-friendly comedians and could have an impact on the president’s base.
Miller said that “South Park” has a “trickle down” effect on what he called “manosphere-type comedians,” including Tim Dillon and Andrew Schulz.
“The ‘South Park’ and the Tim Dillons starting to poke fun at these guys, I think could have a real political impact because it might pop the bubble of invincibility that Trump has had with some part of his base,” said Miller, a writer-at-large at the anti-Trump conservative site The Bulwark, in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace.
Miller argued that those in the online “manosphere,” a community of right-leaning, male-focused comedians, influencers and podcasters, “want to be outsiders” and are “starting to get pretty skeptical” about the administration.
Since the Season 27 premiere of “South Park,” Dillon, who interviewed Vice President JD Vance just before last year’s election, has described the administration as “an auction” up for bids from other countries. He also declared that Trump deploying National Guard troops to D.C. “should scare everybody.”
