Nothing like the small-town racist who, with a smirk and maybe a little knowing side-eye, slyly drops a racist comment into an otherwise ordinary conversation, never questioning that you might not be a hateful idiot like them. Perhaps with an added 'you know what I mean' or 'you know who I'm talking about'. Nothing like it.

right, there's a definite gap between "married (?) guy trying to bang journalist" and "married guy trying to bang what he thinks is an underage girl"

there are also differences between a 76-year-old man trying to sleep with someone else who is in their 70s, someone in their 40s, someone in their 30s, someone in their 20s, and someone portraying a 15-year-old in a film

Rudy seems to have learned his lesson, is tightening protocols, checking ID's, and is now being taken in by someone claiming to be Ivanka Trump but who is in fact the vice president of the College Democrats of Indiana https://t.co/Tv27pygxbu— David Freedlander (@freedlander) October 21, 2020

He was the US government's cybersecurity czar:

I was confused by that, too. From the Guardian article: "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."
If she was posing as a journalist, I don't see why Giuliani would have reason to assume she was underage. But I don't get the feral child part.
For the benefit of viewers. She isn't going to have told Giuliani that she is the underage child-bride / daughter of fictional character Borat during the interview, but the audience will have seen earlier parts of the film before this scene, and be reading her performance in context.
(Saw her and Borat's Kimmel appearance on youtube last night, and a minute or two after she entered was impressed enough by her commitment to try and look up the actress - Baron-Cohen has attempted extra obfuscation by crediting a fictional actress with no credits, so it's a shame this Giuliani story has blown kayfabe.)

from the Hollywood Reporter review:
(Editing is a major distraction in the film's ballyhooed scene with Rudy Giuliani. The shaping of the sequence and its music, in service to the film's overall plot, suggest the disgraced former mayor is trying to seduce a young woman who interviews him. But it looks like some microphone-fitting footage is being repurposed here, and if you really want to make the man look like an ass, you could just play his interview straight

I saw some post from someone that has seen the scene, saying the still is misleading. Supposedly she had just helped him remove his microphone, and he is merely tucking his shirt back in. To which I say, so what? Nothing else in the situation makes him seem any less gross.

He’s a monster. But manipulating footage like this only adds to Trumpland’s claim that the “fake news” is always setting them up.

Cohen isn't even *real* fake news. It's not like Trump falling for the Bumblebee Star or whatever the other day. Setting people up is literally what Cohen does and ... mission accomplished.

you're taking one sentence from Hollywood Reporter at face value when so far they're the only one to suggest it was clever editing?
none of us have seen the actual scene, just the stills.

On Oct. 14, Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac claimed that in April 2019, a man who identified himself as Hunter Biden brought a liquid-damaged MacBook Pro to his small repair shop.
This is the first time I've paid any attention to this (stupidest) timeline. They're saying John Paul Mac Isaac, OBE, had the laptop since April of 2019 and it's just coming out now?
Also, did this guy change his legal name to "Mac" or was this a case of of John Smith becoming a blacksmith?
