They’ll remain paired throughout the film in a
journey through America and Borat’s own over-
the-top sexism. This “Borat” is, in its own absurd
way, a #MeToo movie.
There are stopovers with an Instagram influencer
for a lesson on sugar-baby submissiveness,
a debutant coach, a plastic surgeon and an
anti-abortion clinic where a pastor maintains
his stance despite being given the impression
Tutor has been impregnated by her father. “God
doesn’t make accidents,” he says.
Borat, however, does, and in the film’s second
half, he launches his most audacious stunts.
They include a trip, with Borat dressed as
Trump, to the Conservative Political Action
Conference, where he shouts at Pence from
the crowd before being rapidly removed;
and a “March for Our Rights Rally” in which he
leads a crowd of Trump supporters in a sing-
along not unlike Borat’s famed “Throw the Jew
Down the Well” ditty.
