If you had watched last night's episode of South Park then you are probably aware of how it brilliantly mocked PC culture. In addition to it's hilarious mocking of PC, it also took on another topic, Saturday's Democrat presidential candidates debate. If you missed that debate, you can be forgiven because the DNC very intentionally wanted as few people to watch it as possible. However, thanks to a South Park scene of that debate many more people will become aware of it, including a topic that Hillary Clinton would prefer you not dwell upon.
Although she came out in favor during the debate of admitting up to 65,000 Syrian refugees into this country, that position was taken to attract liberal Democrat primary voters. For the general election she would rather not spotlight this view which is already turning out to be electoral poison. Unfortunately for her, that was the debate topic South Park focused on. A trigger warning strong language alert for viewing the following scene:
Before the debate even started, Brendan Bordelon at the National Review examined why the DNC wanted as few viewers as possible and how they arranged this outcome:
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O’Malley will face off at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa at 8 p.m. local time Saturday — at which point the undefeated Hawkeyes will be an hour into their battle with the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
The entire state of Iowa, first in the nation to voice a presidential preference in the February 1 caucus, will be glued to the game. The debate? Not so much. “It’s just gonna be you, and me, and the pundits, and a few other people watching,” veteran Democratic political strategist Bob Shrum tells National Review.
Top Democrats think it’s no accident the Democratic National Committee scheduled the debate on the night of the big game in Iowa, at a time when fewer voters nationwide will see it. They see collusion between DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to insulate the Democratic front-runner from the potential challenges and embarrassments of a vibrant debate in front of a healthy audience.
Hillary can be insulated by the debate schedule but she can't be protected from parody by South Park.
