President Donald Trump called Sacha Baron Cohen a “scoundrel” after never-before-seen images of the new “Borat” film shared on Twitter Friday through Borat’s official account.
In an interview with reporters on Air Force One on Friday, Trump was asked if he was involved in security breaches after the images showed an actress from the film entering the White House. He told reporters that he “didn’t know what had happened” and followed his reaction with comments about Baron Cohen.
“Years ago, you know, he tried to let me down,” Trump said, noting that Baron Cohen had disguised himself as a BBC presenter, according to a copy of the group’s report received through USA TODAY. “He’s a fake guy. And don’t think it’s funny. “
The “scam” happened 15 years ago, the president added, but it didn’t specify. “To me, it sucks,” Trump said.
Baron Cohen repeats his notorious as a rude journalist in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivering a Prodigious Bribery to the American Regime to Once Benefit the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” which airs on Amazon Prime.
The clip of about a minute of unreleased footage begins with the “One American News” logo, which borat can be heard saying it is “the most rigorous data source in america. “A clip then shows Borat’s daughter Tutar (played by actress Maria Bakalova), taken to the White House through OAN journalist Chanel Rion, Deadline reported. The images appear to have been filmed on September 20, according to a banner on the clip.
“Trump is very careful who he lets in with on his occasions and at home,” Borat subtitled in the video, which shows Rion and Tutar entering the empty, masked press convention room. “No covid test needed — Stop 5!” Legend has it that Rion verified or commented on his presence in the video clip.
It is not known whether White House officials knew actress Bakalova. USA TODAY has contacted the White House for comment.
Trump is very careful with whom he lets in on his occasions and at home. Covid is not required – High 5!
Fourteen years after the original “Borat” documentary, Baron Cohen is back in his most notorious role as wildly rude journalist in the silly and scattered sequel.
This time, Borat’s vacation in the United States, filmed during the pandemic, revolves around his teenage daughter, Tutar (Maria Bakalova, n. 24). But this narrative serves as a fun ephemeral filler, killing momentum among unsuspecting outlandish participants, regularly of republican persuasion. .
Friday’s clip wasn’t the first to provoke an argument.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer and former Mayor of New York, was caught up in a questionable scenario with Bakolava in the film. The plot is that Borat needs to “offer” his daughter to Giuliani to pay homage to Trump, and eventually replaced his mind.
Giuliani proclaimed innocence on his WABC communication screen on Wednesday afternoon, calling the incident “success” and Baron Cohen an “idiot. “
Baron Cohen, in an interview with Good Morning America on Friday, responded to Giuliani’s claims that the video was “a total fabrication. “
“I would say that if the president’s lawyer found that what he did there behaved properly, then God knows what he did with other female journalists in the hotel rooms,” Baron Cohen said. “I urge everyone to watch the movie, that’s what it is. “. He did what he did. “
