South Park returned for its 27th season earlier this week and made waves for depicting President Donald Trump with a “teeny tiny” penis. During an appearance Thursday at Comic-Con, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone responded to the immense reaction to the episode.

While the term “South Park Republican” — coined by Andrew Sullivan to describe Republicans with center-right ideas (per Times) — gained traction during the 2000s, The Book of Mormon creators have maintained their neutrality when it comes to politics. Parker and Stone have refrained from siding with either extreme of the political spectrum.
