Sacha Baron Cohen demands YouTube follow leftist playbook and ban President Trump: 'Do the right thing'

Rabid far-left actor Sacha Baron Cohen of "Borat" infamy has demanded that YouTube go along with the progressive crowd and ban President Donald Trump — just like Facebook, Twitter and other online entities.

"Virtually every social media company has removed Trump…EXCEPT YouTube," Cohen tweeted Monday. "Trump's YouTube channel is STILL showing videos of his election lies to MILLIONS of people!"

He then pressed his followers to retweet his post and tell Google — which owns YouTube — to "do the right thing!" Cohen added a hashtag that read "BanTrumpSaveDemocracy."

Just days ago Cohen called Trump's bans from Facebook and Twitter the "most important moment in the history of social media."

"The world's largest platforms have banned the world's biggest purveyor of lies, conspiracies and hate," he added. "To every Facebook and Twitter employee, user and advocate who fought for this--the entire world thanks you!"

Hollywood mob hops to it

Indeed, fellow left-wing celebrities took to Cohen's appeal like joyous puppies and did as they were told:

• Actor Mark Ruffalo — who earlier this year called Trump "public enemy number one" — echoed Cohen's tweet and told YouTube that "your platform is still allowing misinformation to spread like wildfire."
• Comedienne Chelsea Handler — who once admitted she verbally assaulted conservatives in airports over Trump frustrations — also got on board.
• And another so-called funny woman, Amy Schumer — who has suggested that white NFL players are guilty of racism if they don't kneel for the national anthem — also called for retweets of Cohen's post.

How did folks react?

As you might guess, Cohen has a fair number of admirers among his 760,000 Twitter followers — but certainly not all commenters on his post were aligned with his way of thinking:

• "Do you like censorship?" one user asked. "If you do your comedy might also be next."
• You Nazi moron! F*** your censorship! We should call for the banning of your unfunny BS you call art," another user exclaimed. "You suck!
• "An artist that's for censorship," another commenter said. "Wow."
• "You are ... absolutely clueless on what Democracy means," another user declared. "Amazing that more s**ts comes out of your mouth than your ass."
