Cohen ‘duped’ her, Palin says

Sarah Palin says she was “duped.” The former Republican U.S. vicepresidential candidate says she fell victim to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen during an interview for his upcoming Showtime series, Who is America? (In Canada, it will stream on CraveTV beginning July 15.) In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the former Alaska governor wrote that she and her daughter travelled across the country for what she thought was a legitimate interview. But she says 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 “Hollywoodisms, disrespect and sarcasm” before she walked out. She is challenging Cohen and Showtime to donate proceeds from the show to a veterans’ charity.
