Sasha Baron Cohen is still making waves with his show Who is America?, and this week he may have outdid himself while interviewing former Maricopa County Sheriff and anti-immigrant racist Joe Arpaio.
Arpaio is currently vying for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate, and his appearance on Cohen’s show probably won’t help in that effort.
Taking on the character of a Finnish “unboxing” celebrity named “OMGWhizzBoyOMG,” Cohen asked Arpaio to explain “what Communists are doing to stop people having guns.”
Cohen then using a tiny Shopkins donut toy to have a debate about gun control with Arpaio, to which Arpaio obliged. “Bad guys are going to get their guns!” Arpaio told the toy.
“I have 43 guns,” Cohen’s character said. “I’ve been collecting them for the upcoming race war.”
When asked what Trump is like, Arpaio replied without hesitation that he’s a “great man.”
“He has a lot of money, but he doesn’t act that he’s rich,” Arpaio said.
When asked if Trump has had a “golden shower,” a seemingly confused Arpaio replied, “Wouldn’t surprise me.”
Cohen then asked Arpaio about his first “hand job,” adding, “If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, ‘Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing blow job,’ would you say yes?”
“I may have to say yes,” Arpaio replied without skipping a beat.

Last month, Arpaio spoke out about the interview, expressing his disappointment that he’d been tricked.
“I felt uncomfortable with some of the words they were using but I had to live through it,” Arpaio said of the experience. “I am not the type of guy who gets up and walks out. I never walked out in thousands of interviews. I just take it. I was kind of shocked. But I figured this is Finland and this is a famous comedian.”
