We're squarely in Crazy Town now

In the latest episode of “Who Is America?,” [Sacha Baron Cohen] plays Israeli military expert Erran Morad, and enlists [Georgia] state Rep. Jason Spencer (R) to film an “anti-terrorism video.”

In the video, Spencer repeatedly shouts the “N-word” after Cohen tells him that using the “forbidden” word will help ward off terrorists.

In another clip, Spencer pulls down his pants and chases Cohen with his buttocks exposed, yelling “USA, Motherf—er!”

You have to see it to believe it:


Spencer also reportedly gives an offensive impression of a “Chinese tourist” in the episode, and stabs a knife into a mannequin wearing a hijab.

Spencer, who recently was defeated in the GOP primary after serving four terms, had threatened legal action against Showtime to prevent the network from airing the footage.

“They exploited my state of mind for profit and notoriety,” Spencer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week. “This media company’s deceptive and fraudulent behavior is exactly why President Donald Trump was elected.”
Drain the swamp.
Sunday’s episode also featured former Vice President Dick Cheney signing a “waterboard kit.”

[...]

Cohen’s new undercover project has already featured a number of GOP figures, including several who were filmed purportedly endorsing a program to arm toddlers with guns.
I wonder how long the show will be allowed to run.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
