Sacha Baron Cohen is back on TV with his first show in over 15 years and it is going to have a ripple effect in DC. The premiere episode of Who Is America starts out with a bang on Showtime tonight at 10p (it is available to stream and OnDemand now) as in people on the right promoting arming toddlers with guns. I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not. They can complain all they want how they were taken advantage of, but they all could have said no. They did not have a gun to their heads, pun intended.
Before we get to the shocking, disgusting and sickening segment above. There were a few others. Cohen is an equal opportunity guy, so he starts off the series with Bernie Sanders. Next, he talks to a Republican Rep and her emasculated husband. The third segment features an interview with an art gallery owner that does not fit in with the show. But it is the much-needed calm before the final segment.
That segment is the one above where he talks to gun advocates, gun lobbyists and current and former Congressman about arming babies, toddlers and kids with guns. You would think no would be stupid enough to promote it, but you can see them salivating at the idea of it. Are those the people you want representing you?
I mean who would even think it is a good idea to put a gun in a stuffed animal and show a 4-year-old how to use it? Philip Van Cleave does and even shot an instructional video with Cohen. Lobbyist Larry Pratt loves the idea. He actually laughed out loud when Cohen made a joke that is not rape if you are married.
Finally, he talks to former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson and radio host Joe Walsh about it and even gets them to go on camera supporting it while Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz would not. How can anyone ever elect Rohrabacher and Wilson again after watching this? I know their supporters love their guns more than their family and Gd, but they should have some common sense that this is beyond idiotic. I hope and pray we are better than that.
Anyways, while I am not a fan of Cohen’s, I hope he continues to bring down these imbeciles. He goes after the absurd and proves how ridiculous they are. You do not think that any of this is possible, but sadly it is. I am happy he exposing them! Whether they like it or not. It is not his fault that they are dumber than dumb and does what he asked him them to do.
