Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen used a fake “pedophile detector” to goad accused child molester Roy Moore during Sunday’s night episode of his show Who Is America?
Moore, whose Alabama Senate candidacy was derailed in October after he was credibly accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl, ends the interview soon after Cohen brandishes “the latest Israeli gadget”: a wand that supposedly beeps when it detects a pedophile.
“It’s very simple to use,” says Cohen, impersonating a former Israeli intelligence officer. “You just switch it on, and because neither of us are sex offenders, it makes absolutely nothing.”
The wand then beeps when passed over Moore’s torso.
“It must be faulty. It’s malfunctioning,” Cohen says. “Is this your jacket? Did you lend this jacket to somebody else?”
“No,” Moore answered. “I’ve been married for 33 [years]. I’ve never been accused of such things.”
Moore, who received President Trump’s endorsement even after nine women accused him of preying on them as teenagers, released a statement condemning Cohen’s trickery earlier this month.
“I did not know Sacha Cohen or that a Showtime TV series was being planned to embarrass, humiliate, and mock not only Israel, but also religious conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Joe Walsh, and Dick Cheney,” said Moore, who agreed to the interview after receiving an invitation for an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to “receive an award for my strong support of Israel.”
Cohen, known for the hit comedy Borat, has made headlines in recent weeks for ensnaring a host of prominent political figures in embarrassing interviews set up under false pretenses. Georgia state representative Jason Spencer was forced to resign last week following the release of his appearance on Cohen’s show, during which he can be seen brandishing his bare buttock and shouting racial slurs at Cohen’s prompting. Former Vice President Dick Cheney signed a “waterboard kit” on the program, and a number of other Republican politicians endorsed a program to arm three- and four-year-old children to prevent school shootings.

I really don’t mind Sacha doing what he does.
But would it hurt him to go after Democrats once in awhile?
The National Review is turning into Mother Jones.
No “Credible” at all. Basically the whole thing was manufactured and to Alabama’s great shame, they voted against him.
Fat chance.
He'll never do that. He's a leftist; his whole schtick is leftists propaganda disguised as "humor".
He deserves a kick in the crotch.
Every day.
At least once a day.
Moore looked like he was about to give him one.
“Moore, whose Alabama Senate candidacy was derailed in October after he was credibly accused . . .”
National Review claims he was “credibly accused.”
This much is in dispute.
I remember when National Review was conservative.
Breitbart editor Alex Marlow said Leigh Corfman’s accusations were credible and that Moore was a “uniquely terrible candidate.”
But would it hurt him to go after Democrats once in awhile?
In his social circles, and professionally, probably. It would definitely hurt his wife’s career.
Bullsh*t. The woman claiming she was 14 at the time is a nut case drug addicted kook who was very promiscuous in her early teens and tried to commit suicide. She was dragged up by a Kook Democrat operative who colluded with a Washington Post Sleaze reporter to create this fake media circus. The woman's story has inherent flaws and contradictions in it, and doesn't even stand up to scrutiny.
"Credibly" is wrong all the way around.
Moore is an idiot for allowing this.
Did it go off?
Sacha Cohen needs to get beaten with a baseball bat.
Sacha Baron Cohen should wave his pedophile detector around the offices of the National Review and the Weakly Standard. I bet the thing would explode.
Haven't we suffered enough? We have DOUG JONES (Demonrat-Bloomberg) in the Senate!
He doesn't seem too aware of what to do when he is being played.
WHY WOULD HE? He's a PROG! He's the enemy! Don't you people see this? There can be NO FRIENDSHIP with these people! We have to DEFEAT THEM!
Sacha Baron Cohen Uses ‘Pedophile Detector’ on Roy Moore.
Some day, some where this fool Cohen is going to piss off the wrong guy. Then you won’t hear about him any more...well, maybe once more.
“Moore was a “uniquely terrible candidate.””
I remember A LOT of alleged freepers here saying the same thing, and getting louder towards Election Day.
I do not agree. I also think they were outrageous.
