The cucks that scream this country is too PC will likely display their usual hypocrisy tonight after @SachaBaronCohen has exposed the heinous truth behind our country’s elected grifters. This show, like comedy at its best, is the truth. #WhoIsAmerica?

Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius. Provides the rope, sits back and let's the fools hang themselves with it. It's a comedy… but essentially that's also what good journalism should do. #WhoIsAmerica
