Hillary Clinton is confronting what she calls a "painfully false" and "hurtful" conspiracy theory about her, with the help of none other than the movie character Borat.
The former secretary of state appears in an episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Amazon Prime series “Borat’s American Lockdown & Debunking Borat,” which debuted Tuesday.

That episode sets the stage for the other six, each of which addresses a specific myth Holleman and Russell believe, tells the story of how the disinformation originated and spread, and then has experts talk directly with the men in an attempt to better educate them.

“The myths and misinformation they shared with Borat fuel a dangerous rhetoric that is tearing apart societies in front of our eyes,” Cohen says in the introduction of the series.

The final episode addresses Clinton and a conspiracy theory involving blood libel, the supposed ritualistic drinking of children’s blood.

1. Like in "What Happened" Hillary says congressman Ryan Zinke comes over to say hello

and she's surprised because he called her the Antichrist:

"But I haden't forgotten. 'You know, Congressman, I'm not actually the Antichrist.' He was taken aback and mumbled something about not having meant it. One thing I've learned over the years is how easy it is for some people to say horrible things about me when I'm not around, but how hard it is for them to say it to my face."

And even to her face, and not by Republicans. "Enough is enough" when falsely accused of corruption because something abut Wall Street and a paid speech without a shred of evidence, and all those idiots who called her the lesser of two evils and a warmonger.
