    Maybe Rudy identifies as a 24-year-old letch.

    After a successful censorship of all things things connected to Biden/Hunter/laptop, this smear campaign against Rudy must look odd to the low-information voters it's aimed at. i.e. "Why is Rudy suddenly newsworthy?"

    Indeed.

    “I think it was very flimsy,” one Post reporter told New York Magazine’s Intelligencer of the story. Another journalist at the tabloid said the piece is “not something that meets my journalistic standards” and “should not have been published.” The Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal are among the major outlets that have said they could not independently verify the information in the Post story, a piece that my colleague Eric Lutz noted was already suspicious given its timing and the errors contained within it, including an oft-peddled Trump falsehood. One Post reporter described the imbroglio to Intelligencer as “upsetting” and “disappointing,” albeit not entirely surprising. “It just makes you cringe and roll your eyes, and it’s hard to stomach, but at the same time we kind of know that you’re signing up for stuff like that,” they said. “It sucks to, like, work for, like, a propaganda outlet.”

    Okay then.
    The question is, did Giuliani know she was twenty-four years old? The character she was playing is supposed to be a lot younger.

    Furthermore why does a man of 76 years of age want to go to the hotel room and recline on the bed of a woman girl [even a woman of 24] who is young enough to be his grand-daughter?

    Seems like really dubious smear attempt. If Giuliani was undressing because he thought he was about to have sex, why not wait until he at least had his pants down and it was obvious? It's like, who cares? But it doesn't even seem legit in addition to that.

    Some of you may know that Sacha Baron Cohen has a new movie due for release this month starring his roving Kazak reporter Borat.

    It seems that one of his dupes for this film is Rudy Guliani who is now facing questions over what is considered a compromising scene.

    https://www.theguardian.com/film/202...new-borat-film


    In the film, released on Friday, the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter, who is posing as a TV journalist [...] Following an obsequious interview for a fake conservative news programme, the pair retreat at her suggestion for a drink to the bedroom of a hotel suite, which is rigged with concealed cameras.

    After she removes his microphone, Giuliani, 76, can be seen lying back on the bed, fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his trousers. They are then interrupted by Borat who runs in and says: “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”

    Representatives for Giuliani have not replied to the Guardian’s requests for comment.

    Word of the incident first emerged on 7 July, when Giuliani called New York police to report the intrusion of an unusually-dressed man.

    “This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit,” Giuliani told the New York Post. “It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasn’t what I would call distractingly attractive.

    “This person comes in yelling and screaming, and I thought this must be a scam or a shakedown, so I reported it to the police. He then ran away,” Giuliani said. The police found no crime had been committed.

    Giuliani continued: “I only later realised 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.”

    Viewers may be less convinced that Baron Cohen, reprising his role as the bumbling reporter Borat Sagdiyev, and Maria Bakalova, who plays his daughter, Tutar, had no success.

    In the film Borat is dispatched by the Kazakh government back to the US to present a bribe to an ally of Donald Trump in order to ingratiate his country with the administration. After the monkey earmarked for the gift is indisposed, Borat’s supposedly underage offspring becomes the replacement present.

    Even before he reaches into his trousers, Giuliani does not appear to acquit himself especially impressively during the encounter. Flattered and flirtatious, he drinks scotch, coughs, fails to socially distance and claims Trump’s speedy actions in the spring saved a million Americans from dying of Covid. He also agrees – in theory at least – to eat a bat with his interviewer. [...]

    Although unfortunate, the circumstances of the setup appear consensual, with Giuliani led to believe he was being courted. Bakalova, 24, is highly plausible in the sting, despite also having to pretend, for the benefit of viewers, to be a feral child posing as a far-right journalist.

    Giuliani's sounds defensive about this story - which is a pretty bad sign for those who thought he might have known he was in a movie...

    'I was tucking in my shirt': Giuliani responds to newly-released Borat clip

    Rudy Giuliani said Sacha Baron Cohen is a “stone-cold liar” if he implies the image from the new Borat movie showed anything other than him simply “tucking in his shirt”.

    The former mayor of New York responded after the on Twitter after the movie screenshot, that showed him lying on bed in front of an actress, went viral online.

    “The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment,” Mr Giuliani said.

    “At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.”

    Reading the news stories on Giuliani's part in the movie, I assumed he knew he was in a comedy film.

    Now I'm not so sure.

    ps. gross!
    My favourite bit was "Borat" running in and shouting "She is fifteen" etc
