Sacha Baron Cohen Crashes Far-Right Militia Event, Engages Willing Crowd in ‘Racist, Hateful, Disgusting’ Songs: WATCH JUNE 28, 2020 BY ANDY TOWLE 4 A disguised Sacha Baron Cohen crashed a white supremacist right-wing militia event in Olympia, Washington on Saturday and sang racist songs (video below) to the crowd for at least 8 minutes, getting the crowd to sing along with him before the jig was up. The event was the ‘March for Our Rights 3’ rally sponsored by the Washington Three Percenters and the Borat comic reportedly booked the gig through a last-minute big donor. Cohen reportedly arrived with a large security detail which blocked organizers from turning off generators that powered the speakers and from mounting the stage to remove Cohen once he had started. When he could no longer hold off organizers, Cohen and crew reportedly fled in a waiting ambulance. Cohen’s song contained these lyrics: “Dr. Fauci, what we gonna do? Inject him with the Wuhan flu… Hillary Clinton, what we gonna do? Lock her up like we used to do. WHO, what we gotta do? Chop ’em up like the Saudis do!” councilman from Yelm City, James Blair, reported on the event afterwards: “He came on stage disguised as the lead singer of the last band, singing a bunch of racist, hateful, disgusting sh*t. His security blocked event organizers from getting him off the stage, or pulling power from the generator.” They wanted to bring in some bands, have some music, give us a nice stage, set it up, amp it better. It felt a little weird but then started paying for stuff like port-a-potties, stage rentals, [and] barriers. Well, the second band started playing their set and about halfway into a set, or where I’d expect for them to be about done, they started into a an incredibly racist song. At that moment, we realized that our organizers were nowhere to be found… as one of the organizers, we tried to pull the plug. They had four armed security on the generator, so we couldn’t even cut the power. We tried to get on the stage to kick the band off. They had all the security around the stage, was then blocking us from getting to the stage… All the security turned on us. We bum-rushed them, got through security, unplugged the mic, got the guy off the stage, and they jumped into an ambulance with lights and sirens on to get out of here.”
Sasha paid for the stage and security so when the organizers tried to stop him/cut power the guards wouldn’t let them.
Is anyone really surprised that they sang along? I’m sure most in attendance have posted something far worse on Facebook.
The one that made me laugh the hardest because clearly no one in the crowd got it was when he got to “Journalists, what we gonna do?” And then got them to choose “chop them up like the Saudi’s do,” that or “cnn you’re real fake news, controlled by the you know who’s,” as he gestures to his nose. Really unfortunate a bus didn’t hit that crowd.

The era of getting conservatives to admit to insanely racist and bigoted beliefs for humor is over. They all just announce it in campaign speeches now. I'll probably still watch this though.
This is going to be great. But I'm legitimately not sure if it is worth the shit Borat impressions again. I don't think I can handle it.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, but Borat being the source of the October surprise is truly the ending this chapter of American history deserves.
Looking forward to watching this when it debuts. This was filmed somewhere in my city and I am not sure what I would have done if I saw Borat "driving" around.
Buddy and I went in college and idk if we’ve ever laughed that hard. Great theatrical experience. Also, my friend is Jewish and he was in tears laughing during the intro.
I liked how everyone that got pissed about the intro to the first one didn’t realize that Cohen is Jewish himself
I started watching Borat last night, no idea when the last time I watched it was - it's still so great.
Yea - don't drive though Washington if you've seen final destination. You're literally going to be behind truckbeds full of logs for the majority of the ride.
How on earth can people still fall for Borat? I thought that the character was enough a part of the zeitgeist that he couldn't trick people anymore.
I've never laughed harder at anything in my entire life than when he brought his shit in a baggie down to the dining room in the first one.
Deleted scene iirc from the first one and oh my god at the ability to not break character and also the patience of the clerk
