Rudy Giuliani’s descent from big city mayor to two-bit fraudster has been like watching a 20-year slow-moving train wreck. It seems his long, tortured career is about to end with total humiliation.
This week, international prankster and award-winning actor Sacha Baron Cohen is releasing a follow-up to his hugely popular and controversial 2006 film, Borat. As he did in 2006, Cohen was able to disguise himself so that he and his fellow cast members could interview highly influential people. In the latest Borat film, Cohen managed to snag an interview Rudy Giuliani, along with Mike Pence and others.
According to The Guardian, the film contains a scene where Rudy finishes the interview with a young woman he believes is a journalist before adjourning to the hotel bedroom for a drink. In the movie, which hits the big screen on Friday, Rudy entered the bedroom of the suite (which was filled with hidden cameras) and reportedly stretched out on the bed before “fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his trousers.”
“Borat” then burst into the hotel bedroom to say, “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”

After the interview, which took place in July, Rudy realized he’d been had and he called the police. He told the New York Post he was relieved not to have gotten caught up in a Sacha Baron Cohen scam, saying “I only later realized it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn’t get me.”
Welp, sounds like he did get caught after all. And what a creep to boot. Borat or not, who thinks it is acceptable to do such a thing to a young female journalist in a hotel room?
