Sacha baron coehn tried to prank me9/3/2023 Another problem we had was not being allowed to have our phones and if an emergency had came up at home then we’d have problems. “I don’t know about that but we left after the guy in front of us left because it just didn’t seem real and $100 each wasn’t enough to stay. I was there and collected my 150.00 thank you very much.” He was expecting someone to pop out and say they were on candid camera or some kind of show.” When the article was published in January, it quickly circulated on Facebook and several people who attended, or knew people who attended, chimed in with comments: The Daily News also reached out to the owner of the Bullhead City Marina Plaza, which Baron Cohen’s character claimed would be bulldozed to build the mosque, who called the claim a “bold-faced lie … So to whoever brought this up, it is totally not credible.” So many members responded with hate, some with blatant racism and a whole lot of ignorance.” “We even tried pointing out to those around us to stop playing into the speaker’s hands by responding because it was all a set up. “They claimed it (the filming) was for the architectural firm that was going to build the mosque,” she said. Mudge, who attended with her husband, said she and some of the other attendees speculated the purported focus group was going to be used to create a show or documentary about hate toward Muslims using the responses from the meeting. “He used many trigger statements like the Muslims would be protected from regular citizens to make sure there were no terror attacks from us.” “He showed pictures of our town with business signs photoshopped into Muslim languages,” Mudge said. “I think they were trying to piss us off, just for reactions,” another attendee said, “because the stuff they were stating was just absurd.” He implied that Muslims would take over our town and we’d all be converted or one would have to move,” one attendee told Daily News reporter D.K. ![]() “He said the project was going to be building the world’s largest mosque outside of the Middle East. Nira Cain-N’Degeocello, led a focus group about plans to replace a local shopping center with a $385 million mosque funded by the Saudi government and the Clinton Foundation - plans that, to put it lightly, did not go over well with the attendees - the event received coverage in a local newspaper, well before Baron Cohen’s prank victims knew who they were dealing with.Ī Mohave Valley Daily News article published on January 3 describes how a reality TV production company called Clear Meadow Films recruited and paid people through Facebook, Craigslist, and other local ads to attend the focus group, in which they signed consent forms before attending what would ultimately become a segment on Who Is America?, where one of the attendees bluntly announced, “I’m racist toward Muslims.” When Sacha Baron Cohen went to Kingman, Arizona, to film a prank for Who Is America? episode two, he got exactly what he wanted. ![]() Sacha Baron Cohen on Who Is America?
