Who is America? LIVE: The Trump-pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio teaches the Second Amendment to a donut
Last week on Showtime's incendiary Who Is America? it was defeated Republican US senate candidate Roy Moore's turn for humiliation, falling afoul of Erran Morad's 'paedophile detection kit'.
Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello tried to claim that it is offensive to call black people 'black' meanwhile, but the episode belonged to Sacha Baron Cohen's Morad character, who, in a sensationally absurd segment, got a middle-aged white Trump voter to dress as a 15-year-old Hispanic girl celebrating her Quinceanera, ostensibly in the hope of luring "bad hombres" in with the promise of 'free drugs' and 'young pussy' before incapacitating them with guacamole laced with Rohypnol.
In making this project a TV series rather than a film, Cohen has given himself the difficult task of having to try and outdo his stunts and deceptions each week. Episode 3's perhaps fell a little short of episode 2's, that hilarious mosque sales pitch remaining the show's most outrageous sketch so far, but can the comedian outdo himself tonight?
Four episodes of the show remain, and we know other politicians including Sarah Palin are still to make an appearance. Pardoned sheriff Joe Arpaio is expected tonight.
Watch along with us live below (please allow a moment for the live blog to load):
Wouldn't it be fun to see a Democractic politician fooled into going along with a stereotype-shifting, privilege-checking measure suggested by Dr. Nira, too terrified to oppose perceived wokeness from a professor in an NPR shirt? Hopefully Cohen will go there before the series is done.
A quick recap on him - Arpaio was the 36th Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona for 24 years and often referred to as "America's Toughest Sheriff", unapologetically setting up 'Tent Cities' and reinstating chain gangs.
He was convicted of criminal contempt of court in July 2017, but was pardoned a month later by President Trump.
An Obama birther, it makes sense for Arpaio to be on the show as during his tenure as sheriff he actively sought media attention, claiming to make around 200 television appearances per month.
If you thought last week's Quinceanera was as weird as things could get, tonight we have a supposed fashion designer getting a blow job while buying a megayacht with which to traffic in humans.
