Like countless others before her, Sarah Palin was fooled into an interview with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen under false pretenses. Cohen is probably best known for his lead role in the 2006 film Borat, where he plays a man from Kazakhstan as he travels across America, offending seemingly everyone he meets along the way (who don’t know he’s playing a character).
Cohen is returning to America once again, this time to tackle politics in the Trump-era. Cohen’s new show “Who is America” will be seven episodes in length, in which he reportedly dupes a number of notable politicians into conducting interviews with him. Matt Drudge claimed in a since-deleted tweet that the list of those duped includes Dick Cheney, Howard Dean, Alberto Gonzales, Bernie Sanders, Trent Lott, David Petraeus, and Ted Koppel, among others.
At least one person is speaking out about their interview for the show. “I join a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitive, sick ‘humor’ of the British ‘comedian’ Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime,” Sarah Palin posted to her Facebook account last night. (RELATED: Sarah Palin Indicates She’d Love to Run for Higher Office Again).
Now while no one would have a problem with a comedian poking fun at a politician under false pretenses, the lie to rope her in was egregious in this case. “For my interview, my daughter and I were asked to travel across the country where Cohen (I presume) had heavily disguised himself as a disabled US Veteran, fake wheelchair and all. 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 Hollywood’s disrespect and sarcasm – but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin.”
Palin had been under the impression that this was a “legit opportunity” to honor American Veterans and contribute to a “legit Showtime historical documentary.” As if trekking her half-way across the country wasn’t bad enough, Palin says that “the Cohen/CBS/Showtime production team purposefully dropped my daughter and me off at the wrong Washington, D.C. airport after the fake interview, knowing we’d miss all flights back home to Alaska.” Classy.
“By the way, my daughter thinks you’re a piece of ****, Sacha,” Palin concluded.
Donald Trump also took to Twitter to blast the “talentless” Cohen……. six years ago.
Glad to see that Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie is not only a dud but not too good at the box office. He is talentless. @Sacha_B_Cohen

There really is a Trump tweet for everything, isn’t there?
Cohen has a long history of disrespecting America while portraying one of his controversial characters. While filming the movie Borat, Cohen deliberately ruined the National Anthem at a rodeo. You can see video of this spectacle below:
Cohen’s actions are especially egregious given that it involves America’s military veterans. Palin was hoping to honor America’s veterans in a tasteful way but was duped by the comedian. Cohen’s antics are notorious, but perhaps he crossed a line this time that he cannot come back from.
Cohen should do the right thing and apologize to Palin for misleading her, but given his history, I won’t be holding my breath.

That our networks still promote such an anarchical, foreign miscreant is evidence of how deep our media moguls have sunk: in the name of progressiveness.
Seeing that sick little twit, Cohen, is much less entertaining than watching a dog scooting its butt across the grass to alleviate an itch. Cohen gives humans that same itch in the butt.
Cohen’s being so pathologically-morbidly envious of all things American, reminds of the hesperophobic hatred that has so many moslems so mindlessly-hatred-driven in their attitudes toward and actions against America.
Where is the comments on Trump’s attacks on a POW and on a WWII aviator who was shot down in the Pacific?
Trump attacks Senator John McCain and President George H.W. Bush, and you don’t consider that an attack on the military. Why the double standard?
Oh, I forgot. It isn’t a “double standard” because you don’t have any standard at all.
Hey, POOP David,
First, it wasn’t WWII, it was Vietnam.
Second, McCain was NOT a hero. As his nickname, SONGBIRD, suggests, he gave information to the enemy in order to improve his treatment. He even snitched on his fellow prisoners when they planned escape. That’s not a hero in my world.
Then when he got out, he came home and used his POW status to launch a political career. His father’s friends, who financed his efforts, were Republicans, so he entered politics as a Republican. Since then, he has undermined Republican efforts his entire career. He is a POS and deserves to be treated as one.
President George H.W. Bush was a U.S. Navy aviator in the Pacific theater of World War II when he was shot down returning from a bombing run on Chichi Jima. He survived, the other airmen shot down were captured by the Japanese, tortured and executed. And Trump still attacked him.
He also attacked American Gold Star parents.
Was Senator McCain a hero? That doesn’t matter, Trump said that he didn’t like LOSERS who were captured, which include ALL of our POW’s. Quit defending the draft dodger.
And where were you poopy little David, when they were handing out brains? I think you turned left when you should have turned right, that is unless you are truly masochistic.
Hey everyone….remember Sue Everson aka: Eboni aka: Moolania aka: jeansandjackets aka: TheRealDonaldTrump? Well looks like she’s back as just plain Sue the Snowflake!! Just as hateful and trolling as usual. Sarah and All the veterans deserves an apology. Cohen is a dumb a$$ POS!!
hehehe…the headlines that you clowns come up with…hehehe
I have an idea, maybe someone can get him his very own wheel chair for real!!!!
I wonder if there’s not some way a huge number of truly DAV could get together.. and sue the living sht outta that guy. From stolen valor to .. outright fraud.. something. Or, just show up outside his house. You know your MOS. Or.. do like a lib… and start showing up at all the venues that air his crap…
Just a thought. He needs to understand his freedom to speak his mind.. comes with a price.. part of it was paid by millions of vets… part of it is being RESPONSIBLE for having his facts straight and being accountable for what he says – especially when it injures other people! an opinion is one thing… you can be a stupid as you’d like… but you can’t intentionally use that stupidity to hurt others, which I thinnk some smart person can probably PROVE he thought out and DID..
What a lying POS, Cohen is !!!! Impersonating a wounded veteran ! Disgusting !
Commie cohen should just be barred from entering the USA – -ship him back to UK permanently.
Cohen’s vile mongrel Khazar tribe is DIRECTLY responsible for the Mudslide disaster in The UK and Western Europe.
The core of their unclean power and influence is The Bank of England, nested in The City of London…the illegitimate cousin of The Federal Reserve Bank suffered by The USA.
Cohen is a Brit Trust Fund Kid jew that can afford to be an unaccountable assmonkey; that can just walk away from the messes the punk makes.
The overriding lesson here is: cut the jews off from their debt based Funny Money scams, and watch them wither, dry up and blow away as filthy dust in the wind.
He is a Jew and he most likely is a Khazar Convert (Ashkenazi Jew) as most Jew converts here in the USA. Jews HATE America and they are the least patriotic nest to African Americans (who are Jew tools). In fact, Jews only allegiance is to Israel, other Jews and money. Truth. Pay attention to the actors calling to destroy YOUR Constitution, blaspheming your GOD-Jesus Christ and still telling lies about Germany-Hitler, the Holahoax and you name it… Borat is just that, a RAT!
Sarah, next time take me along. I’ll do wheelies over his bare toes with MY wheel chair, then hook him over backwards and double-whack him with my two canes. If there’s anything left of him lying on the deck, I’ll dump my colostomy bag in his face and drain my catheter all over his bloody t-shirt. ‘Showtime’ can video for CBS “Film @ Eleven” . . . !
Semper Fi . . .!
LOL -would love to see that, he deserves that and worse.
Quite descriptive.
How do you feel about the draft dodger who called POW’s losers?
It appears we have a parents’ basement- dwelling teen posting as “Sue”. No mature, intelligent, human could be so stupid and wrong!! Courtesy, kindness and fact-finding are obviously not his/her talents or characteristics. GROW UP!
I would like to see Cohen walk-up to a Combat Veteran and run his mouth, like he did with Sarah Palin.
As a real vet, I find knocking Sarah Palin over having been lied to by someone who is guilty of ‘stolen valor’ and flat out lying about injuries on top of it…stunning. And you boobs who support that kind of stuff…ought to have your snotty faces slapped by any mature adult. Comedians who call someone on the phone, doing a good impression of Al Pacino or Joe Pesci to con a desk clerk at a hotel is funny, but Stolen valor is not and if you’re too stupid to understand the difference, you should be ashamed of yourselves. And finding it “funny”, to deliberately take her to the wrong airport so she misses her flight home, is viciously irresponsible and mean spirited. Sarah has the grace to take it without anger and some of you still have the insufferable, narcissistic gall, to find her at fault as a dupe.
I am delighted to see the ? ? man? ? denuded for what he is. Too bad these days comedians who are , I thought, supposed to be funny, are so sick. We need another Bob Hope! A Man of good morals, morale, and dignity!
Remind me not to ever vote for Sarah Palin. Even Trump does not curse.
Really? They all do. Hillary has the biggest potty-mouth of them all.
Cohen is not comedian but simply a son of satan. Typically that people that can only (believe to be)
successful at the costs of innocent people who do not know what he is after. And then to hurt the American Veterans when you do that you are a scumbag and nothing else.
How disrespectful of Cohen! Not only to veterans but to the Palin’s.
Sarah POOLin is such a snowflake she can’t take a joke.
He was disparaging wounded veterans. You call that a joke??? You are truly sick.
Trump makes jokes ALL THE TIME! So what!
It’s not a joke you twit. Combat disabled Marine for 50 years.
So What! It WAS a joke… you and POOlin just can’t take it.
Poor Sarah POOPlin can’t take the heat AGAIN. She is such a Snowflake.
Palin was not offended for herself. She was offended for the military. Guess you think it is just fine to make fun of our military, the military that’s protecting you and allowing you the freedom to say ignorant things. How does it feel to be an A-Hole?
Yeah… I remember when Trump made fun of the Gold Star families.
He did NOT make fun of Gold Star families.The Khan family had lost their patriotic son in combat. Mr. Khan waved his copy of the Constitution asking if Trump had read it. Mr. Khan is a phony. He believes in Sharia law. He took his firm’s website down on the following day. His writings, which date back to the 80’s, call for all US laws to be evaluated by an Islamic review board for compliance with Sharia law. He has written that we should be subservient to Sharia law. I’m sorry for his loss, but he’s a fraud.
Lee – YOU are a fraud. Mr. Khan does NOT believe in Sharia law. You read that fake crap on one of your fake crap web sites (like Political Insider).
He is correct and he does believe in Sharia law!
Davidson, How does it feel to be a Snowflake.
Sue I think you need some time out in the crying station.
Sick! Send him back to England. We have enough sick people already here. We need people that are doing good for our nation and military!
ENGLAND AS WE KNEW IT IS NO LONGER THERE. MUSLIM NATION NOW………………SEE WHAT OPEN BORDERS ACCOMPLISH
Muslim’s are coming for you John! Head for the hills. LOL
If you are really a female, which I doubt, they ARE coming for you.
You don’t want to assume anything as he/she or whatever Sue woke up as this morning might be offended!
We know a Liberal Troll when we see one though.
Sue Everson is a hate-filled Democrat lesbian.
Governor Palin’s daughter is correct. He is a piece of chit.
Isn’t that the daughter who was paid over $200K to be on a speaking tour to tell kids to wait for marriage before they have babies… and then she got knocked-up AGAIN while she was still un-wed?
https://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/12/abstinence-only_advocate_brist.html
Yeah… She has no credibility.
Bristol Pail has NO credibility — Abstinence-only advocate Bristol Palin gives birth to 2nd out-of-wedlock child
Nice try Sue Everson, did Political Insider tell you not to post as TheRealDonaldTrump again? Sucks to be you Susy secondgrader we still know who you are igmo.
