This past week, Jason Spencer, a Republican state representative from Georgia,
revealed that Sacha Baron Cohen had tricked him into shouting “provocative language” during what he thought was a real anti-terrorism training video. Now we know that “provocative language” was the N-word.
The shouting of racial slurs by Spencer, who was recently
defeated in a GOP primary after serving four controversial terms, was just one of several unnerving moments from the most outrageous segment in the second episode of
Showtime’s Who Is America? Week two of this news-making show also featured former Vice President Dick Cheney
signing a “waterboard kit,” Ted Koppel
arguing about the size of Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd and
The Bachelor’s Corinne Olympios gamely
pretending that she helped clean up the Ebola crisis in Africa.
