The former Republican vice presidential candidate says she fell victim to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen during an interview for his upcoming Showtime series, “Who Is America?”
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the former Alaska governor wrote she and a daughter traveled across the country for what she thought was a legitimate interview. But she says Baron Cohen had “heavily disguised himself” as a disabled U.S. veteran in a wheelchair.
Palin says she sat through what she called a long interview full of “Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm” before she walked out.
She is challenging Baron Cohen and Showtime to donate proceeds from the show to a veterans’ charity.
Showtime has no comment. An email seeking comment from Baron Cohen has not been returned.
The show premieres Sunday.
Sarah Palin, the woman who claimed she could see Russia from her window is apparently easily duped. She now spends her days tweeting with links to her website where she earns pennies per hit.
She, and 1000 others have been duped by Sacha Baron Cohen for over a decade. She can add it to her resume!
Sacha Baron Cohen interviewed as, Ali G, Borat, and other characters to expose peoples prejudices. His best ‘interviews’ were definitely his earlier work when people didn’t know him.
Yoni is Mr irrelevant he tries to associate every article with Trump. The boy obviously has no life. I kind of feel bad for him.
Amazing that she could be duped by a hugely famous comedian. Good thing she never made VP.
