Palin: I took off my mic and walked out when I realized Sacha Baron Cohen was tricking me

Palin appeared on ABC's “Good Morning America” on Friday to talk about the interview Baron Cohen staged for his new Showtime satirical series “Who is America?”

The former governor of Alaska told host Robin Roberts that Baron Cohen showed her “propaganda” about sex changes and transgender people and claimed that Chelsea Clinton was the “recipient of a government-funded sex change.”

“It got worse and worse and worse as the minutes went on in this bizarre, really embarrassing, humiliating interview,” Palin said. “It mocked middle class Americans, it mocked our values, it mocked the disabled.”

Palin said she had had “enough," took off her microphone and walked out of the interview.

“Since then, nobody returns my call,” Palin said, adding that Baron Cohen's producers had given her fake names and described the show as a Showtime documentary. She said the producers reached out to her through a speakers' bureau.

Palin said Baron Cohen was portraying himself as an injured military veteran. “Good Morning America” said that the producers refused to turn over a clip to verify her claim.

No...her 15 minutes are up.

Didn't realize that one of the crew of the Media Death Star was roaming around on FR.

Do you mop the hallways?

Trump had this idiot's number before the interview started. Loved how he dismissed him.

KC, can we have that photo of Sarah with the real wounded vet that was posted the other day? To show some that Sarah’s 15 minutes will never be up.

Thanks!

Its too bad people can no longer respond with a good old fashioned ass whipping.
One of these days Cohen may find himself on the receiving end of something much worse -- and more permanent -- than a simple ass whipping. Boo-hoo.

Right-no more ‘Mr. Nice Guy’

Contractual language ought to protect anyone who agrees to that kind of venue

Apparently so is Joe Arpaio.
Worse than getting fooled into an interview, he got fooled into blocking for McSallycain in the AZ Senate primary so the Bush League Republicans can maintain two Amnesty Senators in AZ.

Slander, fraudulent misrepresentation and the speakers bureau are co-conspirators.

Contractual language. It’s simple fraud and fraudulent inducement.

He uses fake names, fake companies (in this case, I guess, a Veterans’ Charity) and disguises.

The disguises won't as well if somebody seriously rearranges his face.

I don’t care what anyone says/thinks about her.. I still love her more than we can describe... She did more than probably anyone alive today (politically-wise) across all of the states.

I had hoped that she would have run in 2012..

She is in private life now, so I leave it there for her and her family.

Thank is perfectly said my good friend!

Sarah was out fighting the good fight back when being a Conservative wasn't popular.

She was and remains my role model <3

Sarah is naive.

So is the President, according to your standards.
