Before Crowd ‘Turned On Him’

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is up to his old tricks again. This time he crashed a gun rights event in Washington, where he posed as a racist country singer, getting some of the crowd to sing along before it reportedly “turned on him” and his security whisked him away.

According to Variety, Cohen infiltrated the event “March for Our Rights 3” headed by the organization Washington Three Percenters — a pro-gun rights group that has been widely described as an “anti-government right-wing militia,” a label the group rejects — where he sang a racist song before the crowd after posing as a country musician.

“According to social media posts from the event’s organizers, Baron Cohen disguised himself as the leader of a political action committee who wanted to sponsor the rally,” reported Variety. “He brought his own security team who prevented organizers from kicking him off stage once he began singing and turning off the power to his microphone.”

“Sacha Baron Cohen pulled A bulls**t stunt at the ‘March for Our Rights 3’ event. Disguised as a PAC out of Southern California, paid for the stage set up and musical entertainment,” said Blair in the statement. “Came on stage disguised as the lead singer of the last band, singing much of racist, hateful, disgusting as s**t. His security blocked event organizers from getting him off the stage or pulling power from the generator. After the crowd realized what he was saying, and turned on him, his security then rushed the stage and evacuated them to a waiting private ambulance that was contracted to be their escape transport. It was a setup, and smack in the face of the great people who put on this event, including Allen Acosta, Tessa Ashley, and Matt Marshall disgusted with what Sacha did off of the bulls**t stunt.”
