Sacha Baron Cohen's Purported Showtime Character Fires Back at Sarah Palin

Television

Cohen's Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr. is demanding an apology from the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, who claimed she was duped into a "sick" interview for the comedian's new series, 'Who Is America?'

Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr. — a Sacha Baron Cohen character possibly featured in his upcoming Showtime series, Who Is America? — took to Twitter on Thursday to fire back at Sarah Palin for her recent Facebook remarks.

Days after Palin revealed in a lengthy post that she unknowingly participated in a "sick" interview with Cohen for his new show, the comedian's right-leaning MAGA enthusiast persona, Ruddick — the founder of Truthbrary.org, which features articles titled "Hollywood Satanic Elite," "Crooked Hillary" and "Obama Is a Kenyan," among others — responded in a heated (and facetious) social media statement.  

"I am Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick, founder/ceo/accountant of Truthbrary.org and it was I that interviewed you," he began, clearing up Palin's claim that Cohen disguised himself as a wounded U.S. war veteran. "I did NOT say I was a War Vet. I was in the service — not military, but United Parcel, and I only fought for my country once."

Cohen's character continued: "When I shot a Mexican who came onto my property. (Coincidentally, just like our Great President, I was sadly prevented from joining the regular army on account of bone spurs bein discovered in my testies.)

Ruddick, who joined Twitter in May, then took aim at Palin for engaging in rhetoric about the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate and her widely mocked assertion about Russia's proximity to her home state of Alaska.

"I have always admired you for TELLING THE TRUTH about Obama's birth certificate and the location of Russia," he wrote. "But ma'am I do believe you have been hit by a bullshit grenade and now now bleedin' FAKE NEWS."

The note concluded with a few more digs at Palin and a demand for an apology. "You used to hunt the most dangerous animals in the country, like wolves and people on welfare," Ruddick added. "So why hunt a fine citizen journalist like myself? I DEMAND AN APOLOGY."

He also included the following hashtags: #MAGA, #buildthewall and #boycottsachacohen.
