Sasha Baron Cohen (48) is causing a stir again! The British actor crashed a right-wing rally in the USA on Saturday, writes «Deadline».
–
The comedian, who became famous for his unusual appearances as Ali G or Borat, secretly sneaked into the March for our Rights festival in the city of Olympia in Washington State.
–
The event was hosted by the ultra-right Washington State Three Percenters and was designed to support gun rights. March for our Rights is the counterpart to the March for our Lives movement, which was launched after the killing spree at Parkland High School in Florida in 2018.

“USA don’t need a Covid test”
There Cohen initially performed country songs in front of around 500 people with Pro Trump posters and contra-corona protective masks. The 48-year-old had dressed up as Hillbilly and was wearing blue overalls and a straw hat. In front of fans of the right-wing scene, he sang that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be infected with the “Wuhan flu” and received applause.

Then he agrees: “USA is the best, we don’t need no covid test” (USA are the best, we don’t need a Covid test). The audience shouts in agreement: “Hell, Yeah!”
–
The media also get their fat off the song. CNN would broadcast fake news, the disguised Cohen sings loudly. That is why journalists should be “chopped up like the Saudis do”. A reference to the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Trump supporters sing along loudly.

Cohen slips in as a journalist
When the organizers unmasked Cohen, they tried to get him off the stage. But in vain. Security prevented them from doing so.
–
In an interview, the event organizer tells some time later that shortly before the event a donor who had offered to sponsor the event and also provide the security staff had reported shortly before the event. For that he would set up a stage and let some bands perform. And it was precisely this security that prevented the organizers from accessing Cohen’s appearance.
–
Several people are present during the interview with the event organizer. This includes Sacha Baron Cohen. The comedian had pretended to be a journalist undercover and was able to gain access to the right event for the second time using a wig, fake beard and sunglasses.

Appearance for Cohen’s show?
The members of this group are part of the Patriot Movement. They fight primarily for gun rights. They believe that three percent of the colonialists used arms against the British in the American War of Independence to defend themselves. The Three Percenters were involved with extreme right-wing extremists in the violent clashes in Charlottesville in August 2017.
–
On the internet, people speculate whether Cohen’s action is part of the new season of his show “Who is America”. The comedian himself has not yet commented on this. (one)
