With everything that’s been going on this past year, it’s been like, Where isSouth Parkwhen you need it? The hit comedy series (which is going into its 20th season, by the way) is back now, and last night’s episode tackled what we’ve all been talking about: the first presidential debate betweenHillary ClintonandDonald Trump.
Comedy Central released a clip from the third episode of the new season, titled “The Damned,” saw Mr. Garrison in a Trump-esque guise with an orange complexion and “speaking from the heart” at the debate. “Everyone, I just need to speak from the heart here,” he said. “I don’t know what the f—k I’m doing. I’ve gotta come clean, I had no idea I’d get this far. The fact of the matter is, I should not be president. Okay? I will f—k this country up beyond repair.” And it goes on.
You would think that’d be enough for Clinton to win the debate, but she can’t get out of her own way, thanks to her commitment to taking her campaign advisors a bit too literally. Even when her opponent says, “If you care at all about this country’s future, vote for her,” she still struggles.
Watch the clip below:
