        It was fake news because he did not like it.

        Isn't that why humans are supposed to have the power of discernment? Is it #fakenews because his failed in front of cameras?

        Cohen's clips show how easily some politicians can be duped. But even more tangible, it shows how willing some are to tow the line of lobbyists. No politician goes on video, regurgitate thoughts about "arming talented preschoolers", then signs a release form unless they agree.

        That’s the genius here. Cohen knows about the whataboutism card maga lemmings use thing to bring up Hillary/obama. But he designs a premise that nullifies the whataboutism false equivalency. It puts maga lemmings into a meltdown with out their prescribed card to play

        I'm not fond of prankster scenarios, so I won't watch the show - HOWEVER, the one positive I see coming from this will be highlighting to Americans how pathetic elected leadership truly is. We need to demand more from candidates: wisdom, common sense, restraint... ffs.

        Yes! So very true. He says his fears are heightened but if that's true then what he did was based on cowardice. Who wants to vote for someone who would act in such a cowardly manner? He should step down. Being tricked like this is embarrassing...

        No one can trick you into doing things like that. You did it because you thought it was okay in the first place.
