Andy Harris. Newt Gingrich. George Santos. Kari Lake. QAnon Shaman. Ralph Norman. El Paso GOP chair. Every one of them got duped, and every one of them showed you exactly who they are. Sacha Baron Cohen invented a cartel leader who's the father of 140,000 children, and they believed it. Then he told them the man's pregnant girlfriend was about to deliver an "anchor baby" on American soil, and that if they stopped it, "your president will be shown this mission." Then he watched what they would do. Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) sat down and solemnly warned: "Gonzalez has 140,000 children, which means that this one man has a higher birth rate than Iceland." Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) warned that the fictional family would "consume 40% of the nation's rice and beans. That's actual FBI data." Col. Douglas Macgregor, ex-senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense in Trump's first term, said: "In 10 years time, Gonzalez's family, along with millions of others, will have more members than the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force combined." Kari Lake sat down for Ali G's fake talk show about combating woke politics. Michael Aboud, the El Paso GOP chairman, thought he was in anti-terrorism training. He watched a pregnant woman get drugged, then her newborn kidnapped. Then the finale: the newborn in a tote bag dangling from a drone, the battery dying, no way the baby makes it to Mexico. They hand Aboud the remote and order him to drop the baby "to save the white race" before it touches American soil. He followed orders. The movie's own on-screen text says he wasn't in on the hoax. In the movie, Cohen also built a fake gas chamber, labeled the button Zyklon B, and had George Santos and a crew of MAGA supporters play a game with it. It is not clear how he got them, or what they thought they were agreeing to. But Cohen is clear about one thing: every one of them was duped. None of it was real. Their willingness was. Cohen said that was the entire experiment: whether, in a matter of hours, you can turn intelligent people who believe in race replacement into murderers. He got his answer.
