Sarah Palin is calling on Sacha Baron Cohen to donate all the profits from his upcoming Showtime series to military veterans groups after saying she was duped into an interview with the comedian when he pretended to be a wounded warrior.
The Daily Mail reports that the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said she unknowingly participated in an interview for what turned out to be Cohens just-announced satirical series, Who is America
This legit opportunity to honor American Vets and contribute to a legit Showtime historical documentary was requested of me via a speakers bureau, Palin said.
Palin, 54, says she traveled to Washington, D.C., to speak with Cohen, who she claims 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 Hollywoodisms disrespect and sarcasm but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohens chagrin, Palin said.
