Weeks after coaxing Republican demonstrators to sing a racist song at a rally, prankster Sacha Baron Cohen appears to be up to his antics again—this time with a far more ambitious target.

The Borat star reportedly attempted to interview President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani while wearing a pink bikini.


Giuliani expected to answer questions about the Trump administration's widely panned response to the viral outbreak in the United States.

Giuliani said of the encounter:

"This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit. 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."

It's unclear what aspect of the bikini gave Giuliani the impression that it was transgender, or whether or not he believes that clothing has a gender or is sentient in the first place.

The former New York mayor said he attempted to get the police involved:

"I thought this must be a scam or a shake-down, so I reported it to the police. He then ran away."

For what it's worth, Giuliani confessed that despite the encounter, he's a fan of Cohen.

"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..."
"I am a fan of some of his movies, Borat in particular, because I've been to Kazakhstan."

"'She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan.' That was pretty funny."

Cohen is no stranger to punking political officials. His Showtime series Who Is America? even led to the resignation of Georgia state lawmaker Jason Spencer, after Cohen tricked Spencer into exposing himself and using racial slurs.

Cohen may not have gotten his interview, but people were still astounded at the bizarre statements from Giuliani regarding the encounter.






People were especially confused at the term "transgender outfit."





It's unclear what exactly Cohen is planning for his next project, but it would definitely make for some interesting footage.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
