Baron Cohen makes sucker of Sheriff Joe
“America’s Toughest Sheriff” has become Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest victim.
Joe Arpaio, the disgraced former Arizona sheriff who was pardoned by President Trump last year, was tricked into saying he would accept a sexual favor The Donald in an interview with the prankster that aired Sunday night.
Cohen, posing as a Finnish “unboxing” celebrity, appeared to trap Arpaio by bringing up “hand jobs” on his Showtime show, “Who is America?”
“My first job was a hand job from my mother and it was newspapers,” the brightly dressed, red-haired OMGWhizzBoyOMG said, apparently trying to confuse Arpaio. “What was your first hand job?”
Later, Baron Cohen asks, “If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, ‘Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing (sexual favor) would you say yes?”
“I may have to say yes,” Arpaio answered.
When asked during the interview if he thinks President Trump has had a “golden shower” — a reference to unconfirmed allegations involving Trump and prostitutes in a Russian hotel room — Arpaio said “it wouldn’t surprise me.”
