Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat has always managed to bring a smile onto people’s faces and might even lead to people falling off of their chairs from laughter. The movies have been shown to mock controversial yet interesting topics in a rather creative manner. Sacha Baron Cohen reprised his role as the character recently to address the entire debacle that has been playing out with Kanye West.

The actor specifically went to attend U2 but, did not skip the chance of getting back into character to poke fun at President Joe Biden. Although the President was part of the audience, he still managed to get a couple of laughs. This further spread out to more current affairs that Sacha Baron Cohen could humorize.
Borat Actor Sacha Baron Cohen Joked About Ye Being Anti-Semitic
Sacha Baron Cohen addressed U2 and mocked how Kazakstan isn’t as against Jews as the media makes it out to be, even pointing towards the USA for its anti-Semitism. He further joked about the rising hate in the country and how impactful it can get negatively.
“It not fair. Kazakhstan is No. 1 Jew-crushing nation. Stop stealing our hobby. Stop the steal! Stop the steal! Your Kanye, he tried to move to Kazakhstan and even changed his name to Kazakhstanye West. But we said: No, he too antisemitic, even for us.”
He was among the many celebrities who had gathered to address Kanye West‘s controversial comments. He pointed out all the antisemitic remarks that the rapper made and how he praised Hitler. West’s quotes made not only celebrities but, also the President himself openly say on social media how problematic and shameful it is, further focusing on silence to only add to this issue.
Celebrities Speak Out Against Kanye West
Multiple people, his fans (most now being former fans), and celebrities alike have been shocked by the stand that Kanye West has chosen to speak about. Not only that, but they have stepped up and spoken about how it is incredibly astonishing to see comments like so being made in the modern day.
“This hatred must be combatted with boundless love for each other. Today, I send extra love to my fellow Jews. And I send love to all those standing with us against these violent words and actions. It’s been painful and frightening to listen to, and I’m extremely grateful to those who continue to speak up against antisemitism with us, and against all forms of racism.”
Recently after he got unbanned from Twitter, Elon Musk once again suspended his account due to his remarks.
