Sacha Baron Cohen 'crashed far-right event disguised as bluegrass singer' in Washington, group claim

Sacha Baron Cohen has been accused of infiltrating a rally in Washington organised by far-right group the Three Percenters, billed as “March for Our Rights 3”.

The comedian, who is known for pulling elaborate pranks, allegedly disguised himself as a bluegrass singer and sang a song with lyrics including: “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.”

In video footage of the event, the Three Percenters audience – known as avid Trump supporters – are heard cheering and clapping along for the lengthy performance.

Matt Marshall, a former founder of the Three Percenters in Washington, said in a video shared on Twitter that he believes Cohen funded the event under the moniker Back to Work USA, a company based in Orange County, California.

“They wanted to bring in some bands, have some music, give us a nice stage, set it up, amp it better,” Marshall said. “It felt a little weird but then [they] started paying for stuff like port-a-potties, stage rentals, [and] barriers.”

Let me guess, George Soros paid for it. Looks like from the video the audience enjoyed it.
