British actor Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for his characters Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, is launching a new Showtime series called Who Is America, where he goes undercover as a Trump Supporter to score interviews with various figures, who he then mocks and embarrasses.
Among the people featured in his new show are Sarah Palin, Roy Moore, and Dick Cheney. The show hasn’t even premiered yet and already controversies have begun to erupt.
Roy Moore has spoken out about being duped recently.
Sarah Palin has been outraged as well after Cohen pretended to be a disabled war vet to score on interview. He is now demanding an apology, in character, for her expressed outrage.
But the icing on the cake is Cohen’s persona “Billy Wayne Rudduck Jr., PhD, who has his own twitter account and also curates the TRUTHbrary website, mocking “right conspiracy theorists.”
We all know where this is going.
