Booyakasha! Why Sacha Baron Cohen's latest prank nearly went horribly wrong - The Guardian

The comedian reportedly caused a near riot with a song at a rightwing rally – and had to flee from the angry crowd in an ambulance.

Name: Sacha Baron Cohen.

He has reportedly been filmed entertaining an audience of rightwingers at a March for Our Rights 3 rally in Olympia, Washington?

It’s claimed he sang a pleasant country number about coronavirus being a hoax and other hot-button topics, and managed to get the rather sparse audience to sing along with the lyrics.

Sparse audience.

Yes, the joke is that it was even more poorly attended than the average Trump rally.

Baron Cohen (who has yet to confirm it was him) had to make a hasty exit in a private ambulance.

The show does have its moments, though, notably the sequence in which Baron Cohen, in character as Israeli antiterrorism expert Colonel Erran Morad, instructs the Republican politician Jason Spencer on how to detect terrorists.

Do say: “Baron Cohen is a genius and a fearless exposer of rightwing propaganda.”
