Sacha Baron Cohen is pushing back as Rudy Giuliani claims his scene in the new Borat is a "complete fabrication."
The comedian spoke to Good Morning America on Friday about a climactic sequence in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, in which Giuliani speaks to an actress, Maria Bakalova, posing as a journalist. After the interview, which takes place in a hotel room, the personal attorney to President Trump is seen lying on a bed and putting his hand into his pants. Giuliani says he was only tucking in his shirt after recording equipment used for the interview was removed.
"If the president's lawyer found what he did there appropriate behavior, then heaven knows what he's done with other female journalists in hotel rooms," Baron Cohen told GMA. "Listen, I just urge everyone to watch the movie. It is what it is. He did what he did, and make your own mind up. It was pretty clear to us."
Baron Cohen also told GMA he was "quite concerned" for Bakalova while secretly monitoring the Giuliani scene.

(13,400 posts)Russians have fed him, as does Trump. I'm convinced Trump was not acting last night. He thinks they have the goods on Hunter and Joe. It's all bullshit. Except they have some old pics of Hunter drunk and passed out.

(22,649 posts)Rudy was drunk, sweating, and flirting with this very young looking girl.
She asked him to go for drinks in the bedroom.
He patted her hip in a way that seemed to ask for permission to go further.
Rudy is a prime honeypot target, if nothing else.
