For a while now, Sacha Baron Cohen has had an issue with juggling multiple personas. On the one hand, as Borat, Bruno and his coterie of characters on “Who is America,” he is a cartoonish sounding board for America’s worst qualities. On the other, he is an increasingly serious out-of-character activist, a full-throated opponent of…
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had a storied pre-Congress career spreading lies about Rothschild-funded space lasers, tweeted in support of Jewish lives Monday night and just this morning trotted out a Jewish conspiracy theory. Both tweets were bad in distinct, but non-mutually exclusive ways. “Jewish lives matter,” Greene replied to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who…
