Hillary Clinton has confronted the QAnon conspiracy theorists who, in Borat 2, espoused unfounded claims she that drinks children's blood.
In Borat Subsequent Moviefilm - the sequel to the hugely popular 2006 mockumentary - Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev (played by Sacha Baron Cohen), lives with two conspiracy theorists for five days.
The conspiracy theorists, Jim Russell and Jerry Holleman, repeat baseless claims related to Covid vaccine microchips, mail-in ballot scams and, of course, Hillary and Bill Clinton.
"The Clintons are very evil," Jim and Jerry tell Borat in the movie, "Supposedly they torture these kids. Well, what it does, it gets their adrenaline flowing in their body, then they take that out of their adrenal glands and they drink their blood."
Now, in a supplementary series called Debunking Borat, Clinton took on the duo in a video message, per Indie Wire.
Calling the conspiracies "painfully false", the 73-year-old said she hoped they could all try to find common ground.
Check out the trailer for Borat 2 if you've not yet seen it:"Hello, Jim and Jerry," Clinton greets the conspiracy theorists. "This is Hillary Rodham Clinton and I know you’ve heard a few things about me that you might believe. I know that you’re not alone. It’s hurtful, I’ll be really honest with you."
She continues: "It’s hurtful, not just to me and my family but to my friends and other people who know this is not just false but sometimes painfully false.
"So just as one American to another, I hope we can start trying to find common ground again and overcome all those forces that are trying to divide us and put us into little boxes apart from each other.
The politician concludes: "Wouldn’t it be great to kind of come together instead of drift apart? I hope that’s possible. Thank you."
Despite Clinton's offer of an olive branch - when the video message ends, Jim turns to Jerry and says, "I just can’t stand her."
Debunking Borat is made up of six episodes, each between seven and eight minutes long. They explore and debunk several other conspiracy theories that feature in Borat 2.
The follow-up series, along with Borat 2, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
