A scene from the film — which premiered on Amazon Prime on Friday — is shown in Giuliani giving an interview to Maria Bacalova, who plays the daughter of Borat and talks with Giuliani as a young conservative journalist.
The encounter ends with Baklova rigging Gualioni with cameras hidden in the hotel room. They take out each other’s microphones and Giuliani lies down on the bed before putting his pants down.
Giuliani took to Twitter to defend himself, claiming he was just tucking into his shirt.
Giuliani then pivoted the alleged laptop of Hunter, the son of Democratic candidate Joe Biden, who Giuliani says he had met with a laptop repairman a month earlier. Giuliani claims that evidence on this proves that Hunter Biden used his father’s office to unfairly benefit his business, though the story comes with credibility issues.
But it’s not Giuliani’s defense of Giuliani that is going viral – it’s Borat’s.
From character to bumbling journalist Sacha Baron Cohen, Kazakhstan, posted a video defending “Giuliani”.
Cohen says in the video:
“I have come here to defend the mayor of America, Rudolf Giuliani. I had an innocent sexy time-encounter with a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter has been turned into an abomination by fake news media.” Warning you, someone else tries this too and Rudolph will not hesitate to reach his legal statements and whip out his penalties. “
Given Twitter’s response, it did excellent marketing work for the film.
Giuliani’s defense, however, did not end well.
