Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen has fired back at U.S. politician Sarah Palin in character as the ‘veteran’ who duped her in an interview for his new show.

Cohen’s Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick, Jr. is demanding an apology from the former Republican vice presidential candidate after she claimed she was conned into taking part in a “sick” skit for the comedian’s Showtime series Who Is America?

Palin took to Facebook earlier this week to reveal she was tricked into sitting down with Cohen’s alter ego.

“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm – but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out,” Palin wrote. “The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.”
