Why did Sacha Baron Cohen hire disgraced comedian Kurt Metzger for Who Is America?

The Cut

Former Inside Amy Schumer writer Metzger is considered a "virulent misogynist" -- so much so that Schumer distanced herself from him two years ago. Now he works on Who Is America?, which happens to have an all-male writing staff. "While Metzger should absolutely be blamed for being a virulent misogynist, he can’t be blamed for taking a job that was offered to him," says Madeleine Aggeler. "The blame there lays squarely on the shoulders of the Who Is America? creators, who could have chosen literally anyone else to write for them. There has to be at least seven comedy writers out there who are very funny and haven’t openly and repeatedly belittled rape accusers. Who knows, maybe a couple of them are even women!"
