Sacha Baron Cohen Takes a Moment to Slam Kanye West in Classic &#8216;Borat&#8217; Style, Calls Him “Too anti Semitic”

Kanye West may criticize everyone, but Sacha Baron Cohen roasted him. The Borat
film series is one of the most iconic ones, wherein the lead character goes for
cultural learning to America, to benefit Kazakhstan. But the movie was also
highly criticized for its anti-Semitic outlook. However, Cohen was much
appreciated for his acting.



Meanwhile, West saw the end of his extended contract with Adidas, as a result of
his anti-semitic comments. The artist stirred up a storm when he wrote “Death
con 3 to Jewish people” in a tweet, continuing to defend his opinion. Hitting
back at the comments now, Cohen mocked Ye at the Kennedy Center Honors.


HOW SACHA BARON COHEN TOOK ON KANYE WEST AS BORAT

The 2022 Kennedy Center Honors saw a lot of stars, but one that stood out was
Sacha Baron Cohen. During his performance, the actor channeled his inner Borat
to mock Ye and former Donald Trump. Touching on the topic
[https://consequence.net/2022/12/borat-kanye-west-sacha-baron-cohen/] of
anti-Semitic statements by Ye, Cohen said, “your Kayne. He tried to move to
Kazakhstan and even tried to change his name to Kazakhstan-Ye West. But we said
no. He’s too anti-semitic even for us.” The actor also mentioned Trump’s
presidency, by connecting it to increasing anti-semitic sentiment in America in
recent times.

The actor was supposed to honor the band U2, whom he referred to as “MeToo.” The
cameras also planned to President Biden and his wife Jill Biden who witnessed
the event, as Cohen asked, “Where are you, Mr. Trump?” He ended the speech by
addressing the current President, “It is my wish to please you with my mouth.”
Other people attending the event for U2 were George Clooney, Gladys Knight, Amy
Grant, and Tania León.

The last time we saw Borat in character was in 2020. Cohen creatively found a
way to connect the movie’s plot to the current political scenario and Ye’s

this for the next Borat movie. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
