The former Republican nominee for the vice presidency says to be a victim of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen during an interview for his upcoming Showtime series, "Who Is America?"

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the former governor of Alaska wrote that she and a girl traveled across the country for what she thought was a legitimate interview . But she says that Baron Cohen was "heavily disguised" as a disabled American veteran in a wheelchair.

Palin says that she spent what she called a long interview full of "disrespect and sarcasm of Hollywoodism" before leaving. She is challenging Baron Cohen and Showtime to donate the recipe for the show to a veterans charity.

Showtime has no comments. An email requesting comment from Baron Cohen has not been returned.

The show begins Sunday.
