Sacha Baron Cohen called out Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg in a tweet Tuesday over the social media platform’s handling — or lack of handling — of election misinformation.
“This is a dangerous moment. Trump won’t concede. Facebook is spreading his lies about voting fraud,” wrote the “Borat 2: Subsequent Moviefilm” creator and actor.
Cohen went on, addressing Zuckerberg by name: “Mark–history will judge you by what you do next. You have a choice–stand with Trump or stand with democracy. The whole world is watching.”
That choice of words — “the whole world is watching” — echoed those said by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier in the day when he, like President Donald Trump, refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, which President-elect Joe Biden won.
