Rachel Maddow, Politico Magazine Editor, Others Fall For Fake Texts Allegedly Sent To Rudy Giuliani

College student Nick Roberts, vice president of the College Democrats of Indiana, tweeted what he claimed were text messages he had sent to Giuliani while posing as Ivanka Trump. Roberts allegedly asked Giuliani if “the rumor that is circulating [is] true?” an apparent reference to the apparently false reports that Giuliani behaved inappropriately after an interview with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen performing as his “Borat” character.

Giuliani allegedly responded to the college student by saying: “There is some truth to the story, I am waiting to speak with your father about it.”

Politico Magazine contributing editor David Freedlander quote-tweeted Roberts’ screenshots, writing: “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.”
