Florida Representative Brian Mast mocked the United Nations for appointing Iran to lead the nuclear nonproliferation board, comparing it to the movie “The Dictator” starring Sacha Baron Cohen, where a fictional tyrant similarly pursues nuclear weapons for “peaceful purposes.”
Is this real or Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest movie?
