Sarah Cooper imitated President Donald Trump at Democratic National Convention before urging people to vote in the upcoming Presidential election.

The comedian, who shot to fame after her lip-syncs to Trump’s speeches went viral, appeared with a new skit where she mouthed along to the President raising concerns about mail-in voting.

“Will they be stolen from mailboxes as they get put in by the mailman?" mouthed Cooper as Trump, using audio from a speech he made in June.

"Will they be taken from the mailmen and the mailwomen? Will they be forged? Who is signing them?"

The segment ended with Cooper, 43, speaking directly to camera warning about Trump’s comments.

“Let me put this in my own words,” she said. “I've heard Donald Trump say some pretty unhinged things, I've heard them over and over and over again. But nothing is more dangerous to our democracy than his attacks on mail in voting during a pandemic.

"Here's the truth: Donald Trump doesn't want any of us to vote because he knows he can't win fair and square. So whether you plan to vote by mail, or in person, wearing your mask, it is your vote and it's your right.

“Don't let Donald Trump take that away from you."

Cooper was not the only famous face deriding Trump at the convention.
