A Georgia lawmaker is facing calls to resign after footage of him yelling racial slurs and exposing himself aired on Sacha Baron Cohens new show Sunday night.
In the latest episode of Who Is America?, the comedian plays Israeli military expert Erran Morad, and enlists state Rep. Jason Spencer (R) to film an anti-terrorism video.
In the video, Spencer repeatedly shouts the N-word after Cohen tells him that using the forbidden word will help ward off terrorists.
In another clip, Spencer pulls down his pants and chases Cohen with his buttocks exposed, yelling USA, Motherfer!

But then the best part of the article was this revelation (for those who weren't deeply following the GA elections) -

Thank goodness he will no longer be a state lawmaker.

You know, like Faux Snooze is an entertainment network, not a news network.
I'm a Georgia resident. I am NOT at all surprised at the level of racism and idiocy displayed by the dumbass Georgia Rethuglican KKKGOP state representative.

(45,261 posts)nothing unbelievable about it. Did you mean to say it was fucking believable?
Many of the GOP voters share these values. Which is why it frustrates me when some DUers don't support red state moderate Dems. The GOP alternatives are usually completely insane.

It is all doubly funny because the target takes it all so seriously. Perfect foils.

(1,414 posts)they're not sending the best America has to offer. They're sending us their problems. They send us racist, they send us criminals, they send us Nazis, they send us morons, they send us pedophiles, they send us rapist. I don't assume any of them are good people, as I know them all to be deplorable and worthless.

(80,699 posts)Evidently with this guy, he's out at the end of his term. He got primaried. But according to to Sopan Deb the NYTimes culture reporter on the show for this segment, there are calls for this hapless soon-to-leave Georgia legislator to resign immediately.
I was watching this clip and gasping, and howling with laughter!
Hey, if James O'Keefe can prowl around with a camera and troll people with impunity, why can't Sacha Baron Cohen? Turnabout is fair play. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. It's about time we had people on our side hitting below the belt. NO MORE "BE NICE"!

(7,802 posts)Really! What the fuck happened to them that made them turn out that way?
Spencer knew the camera was running, he had no proof that "Erran" was who he said he was, and he did crazy shit with little provocation. He has no excuses, nothing he can do to explain himself, no defense. He was a complete dupe and idiot.

Stupidity, ignorance, racism and all.
Just remember Republicans voted Donald Trump to be President. And they will vote for him for another term.
