WATCH: Borat returns to “help Trump win the election”

Rory Cashin

“It’s up to Kazakhstan to swing the mid-terms for Premier Trump!”

It doesn’t feel like it was 12 YEARS AGO that Sacha Baron Cohen released Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan upon the cinema-going public, instantly creating an iconic character with the most one-liners this side of Austin Powers.

It has been a while since Cohen has returned to the character – he’s been busy offending America with other characters since then – but for Tuesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cohen did a little segment where his “friend” Borat wanted to help swing the election for Trump.

Going door-to-door to a few voters, Borat discussed how the kids in the cages should be happy about how much better their lives are now, or how Trump is a racist – “I’m a racist, it is nice”.

All that before laying out strips of bacon on the street to stop “the Jews” from voting for the Democrats, or asking if the Mexicans stole Melania Trump’s pubic hair.

Watch the clip in full below, or join us in a silent prayer that he might be working on a Borat sequel:
