Borat Was Very Much Involved With The US Midterm Elections [Video]

Sacha Baron Cohen decided to dust off his ill-fitting grey suit and moustache, just in time for the midterm elections. Jagshemash!

This week, America held its midterm elections, with the Democrats taking control of the House, and the GOP extending their grip on the Senate.

Donald is already feeling the heat, sacking Jeff Sessions (which could have massive ramifications for the Mueller investigation), and lashing out at reporters in another one of his trademark batshit crazy press conferences.

Do yourself a favour and watch that, and then let’s get stuck into some Borat.

Sacha Baron Cohen is hot property again, after his Who Is America? series proved to be a huge success. That might have something to do with the fact that politicians insisted on making complete and utter fools of themselves (or worse, bigots), but what people really wanted for the midterms was a little Borat in their lives.

Here’s the Daily Beast:

On Election Night, the Kazakh sensation returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! for a brand-new field piece in which he visited a wealthy neighborhood in Los Angeles to talk to voters about the midterms.

“Russia interfere with the presidential election,” he began. “But now, all eyes are on them. So, it’s up to Kazakhstan to swing the midterms for Premier Trump. I come to California to do election tampering.”

Yeah, that’s about all you need to hit the ground running:

Someone should tell that woman that the child detention centres are very, very far from holiday camps. Better yet, play her the audio recorded from inside one.

Sacha also hung around to talk to Jimmy about voting, pranking politicians, and the success of his recent show:
