VCDL President Philip Van Cleef was tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen into promoting arming schoolchildren and later claimed he stayed to gather intel.

Their other gaffe was when their president, Philip Van Cleef, got tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen in his show Who Is America? In the segment he was in, Cohen's Mossad character got Van Cleef to promote Kindergardians, an initiative to arm schoolchildren as young as three years old. It's legitimately embarrassing. Van Cleve is out there singing songs promoting guns with plush animals on them to make them fun for kids. One of them is a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, which should be a dead giveaway that this dude is fucking with you. A gun that's longer than a baby in the hands of a baby. Right. Gotcha. Van Cleve stuck around for what he described as an hours-long interview, and after it was revealed to be a Sacha Baron Cohen prank, he claimed that he only stuck around to gather intel on who was behind the video to warn the rest of the Republicans.
