On Saturday, June 27, at Olympia, Washington, about 500 people gathered at a rally organized by Washington State Three Percenters. Some call this group a right-wing or anti-government paramilitary organization. Members of Three Percenters (the name refers to colonists who took up arms in the fight for America’s independence against the British), however, do not recognize themselves as any militant and pay attention to their charitable activities. Sacha Baron Cohen tends to the thesis that Three Percenters are hatred-driven racists who must be mocked in public.

There is a video of the performance of the disguised Sacha Baron Cohen, who sang such texts as “What are we going to do with Obama? We’ll inject him with Wuhan flu.” He sang similarly about the Chinese or Bill Gates, encouraging the audience to play together each time. The recording documenting a fragment of the performance lasts over 8 minutes and during this time you can’t see anyone trying to stop the scandalous concert.

Other recordings are shown by the organizer’s statement at a rally, which categorically dissociates itself from the content sung by the costume party. But he can’t see that next to the journalist asking him is Sacha Baron Cohen with the camera and in a different disguise.

Fans of Cohen’s talent are delighted with the next number he dialed from members of the right-wing organization. Let us remind you that the British actor has been creating bizarre persona for years, which helps him mercifully mock representatives of all social groups or organizations. Cohen as Bruno, Borat or Ali G conducted scandalous talks with Jews, African Americans, gays, feminists, Nazis, policemen, celebrities, politicians etc. who had no idea that they were victims of planned mockery.

The organizer of the rally in Washington knows Cohen’s style, but he is not impressed that it was his event that the comedian set his goal.

“I am disgusted that Mr. Cohen turned a peaceful family event into a farce. These people do not represent our event, the organizers or the majority who took part in it,” wrote James Connor Blair of Three Percenters on Facebook. He also posted evidence that Cohen’s men were paying extras to come to the event and enthusiastically respond to racist chants coming from the stage.
