On "Who Is America?", former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said "you have to respect" white supremacists.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest exploits for this show Who Is America? Involved former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who suggested during his interview that “you have to respect” white supremacist activists as the pair discussed President Donald Trump’s response to last year’s deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Baron Cohen took on his far-right conspiracy theorist character Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr. for the bit with Lewandowski.

Via Newsweek:

In character, Baron Cohen asked Lewandowski, “Why should the president pick a side between anti-fascists and fascists; he’s the president of all people?” Lewandowski, who was fired from Trump’s campaign in June 2016, responded: “There is a place and a time to disagree with people everywhere, OK. You don’t have to agree with people. You have to respect them, you can’t be attacking them,” he added, in comments that appeared to echo Trump’s much-criticized statement in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville. “You can’t be attacking honest, fascist people that just want to express their right to start a genocide. That is their right,” Baron Cohen’s character said.
