Disguised Borat interrupts Pence speech at CPAC a year ago this week, with daughter over his shoulder scene appeared in "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020):

from Evansville Courier & Press:
Did Sacha Baron Cohen really offer a woman to Mike Pence?
So, was that film real, or was that just Hollywood getting creative with editing? It's true that Cohen interrupted Pence's remarks at CPAC on Feb. 27, 2020, in National Harbor, Maryland. Whether he was holding a real actress over his shoulder or a life-size doll, is not immediately clear.
Multiple cameras from media and guests in attendance captured the moment a few minutes into Pence's speech. On CSPAN, Borat's voice can be heard trying to appeal to Pence before the crowd starts to collectively chant "USA, USA, USA."
The stunt begins around the 9-minute mark, and Cohen, looking like Trump, can be seen in the crowd around the 9:43 mark.
Onlookers can be seen lifting cell phones to document Cohen being escorted out of the room in the network's footage, without the woman he appears to have carried into the hall. Here's what one look of the actor's exit looked like from someone in the room:

(15,381 posts)That Pence went from being considered a Godly man - one that evangelists even said they would prefer over Trump and who they hoped would be a good influence on him to being considered a traitor with death threats against him. Once Trump looked like he was "pwning the libs," the phony concerns and pretense were dropped, and they became his fans... becoming a cult.
