They can dish it out… Days after Sacha Baron Cohen’s “gotcha” show started airing, Democrats are up in arms over a video poking fun at Ocasio-Cortez. Cohen’s show puts mostly GOP former politicians in a bad light through trickery, fake IDs, and playing on those individuals tendencies. For example, to trick Sarah Palin into a gotcha moment, Cohen impersonated a disabled vet.
Allie Stuckey of CRTV figured turnabout was fair play. Stuckey is known for using humor and satire in her videos. She made a video of a satirical interview with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, using actual footage from Ocasio-Cortez’s disastrous real interviews where she fumbled on questions about Israel and unemployment. Dems are not happy. For example, the Independent complained that Stuckey’s video had gone viral and reached 1.5 million viewers before the Facebook police labeled it as satire. Others have dubbed the satirical video “fake news”. Cohen’s show debut only got 700,000 views.
Maybe they are jealous?
Democrats upset about being the butt of political satire
Trump is now the target of an incredible political attack from former Clinton attorney Lanny Davis. Davis has secret tapes that Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen made discussing how they would pay a Playboy model for her story of an affair with Trump. Cohen is working with US prosecutors in an investigation that has quickly turned into a Kenneth Starr type hunt into Trump’s past sex life. Lanny Davis is representing Cohen and delivered the tapes of their private privileged conversations to CNN to air publicly.
New York is a one-party consent state, making the recordings legal. Trump also waived his attorney-client privilege in the matter because paying off someone for a non-disclosure agreement is not illegal. Cohen is being investigated for fraud, and Trump apparently didn’t want any shadow of that investigation hanging over him. So far, Trump has not actually been the target of any of the investigations surrounding his campaign, Russian connections, or Cohen’s potential fraud.

ICE protesters have a race problem. It turns out the people who showed up to protest ICE in Portland might be advocating for illegal immigrants, but they hate African Americans and citizen Hispanics. Emails received by The Oregonian detail conversations between officers on site and their supervisors. The protesters, according to the emails, barraged the African American officers with hateful language and slurs including the N-word. Another officer, a Hispanic woman, was called a “weak female” and “traitor”. “I was berated for so long I can’t even remember everything that was told to me.”
