Sarah Palin and Roy Moore Promote Sacha Baron Cohen’s New Show

Sacha Baron Cohen is returning to television this Sunday on Showtime whether America likes it or not.

America does not like.

At least the American politicians he tricked to be on the show, which includes, but is not limited to, Sarah Palin and Roy Moore.

Palin was the first to put out a statement once Cohen’s new show was revealed to the world. She told The Daily Mail that she believed she was speaking to a disabled US veteran when she agreed to the interview.

“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm, but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin.

“The disrespect of our US military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.”

Palin then challenged “shallow boy Sacha” and Showtime to air the footage, but to then donate all proceeds to a charity that supports veterans.

Moore released a statement on the matter and threatened to sue Showtime for defamation of character.

Ahahaha, he really thought he was getting some “Israel support” award. “As an Alabamian, I believe in truth and honesty.” And sexual misconduct. Don’t forget about sexual misconduct.

Seeing this as an opportunity to further push his show, Cohen delivered an in-character response.

Billy Wayne Ruddick claims to be the man who interviewed Palin. He doesn’t cop to any wrongdoings or misleadings and demands an apology from Palin. Of course, he works in shots at Trump and Palin in the process.

As if I wasn’t excited for Cohen’s new show already.
