(6-27-20) &#8212;<\/strong>  Social media was abuzz Saturday evening with chatter that comedian Sacha Baron Cohen made a surprise appearance during a conservative rally in downtown Olympia earlier in the day.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nThe rally, which was billed as \u201cMarch for Our Rights 3,\u201d took place at Heritage Park for most of the afternoon. About 500 people attended the rally, according to Washington State Patrol troopers at the scene.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nVideos on Twitter appear to show a man in costume, similar to something Cohen might wear, singing a satirical song that poked fun at political beliefs.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nYelm City Councilman, James Blair, thinks it was the comedian, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/james.c.blair.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his own Facebook post<\/a>.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cSacha Baron Cohen pulled a bullshit stunt at the March For Our Rights 3 event,\u201d Blair says in his post.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cHe came on stage disguised as the lead singer of the last band, singing a bunch of racist, hateful, disgusting bullshit,\u201d Blair writes. \u201cHis 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.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nBlair could not be reached by email Saturday evening.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/3MagBrewing\"><strong>Three Magnets<\/strong>     @3MagBrewing<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/3MagBrewing\/status\/1277045940654764032\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SachaBaronCohen\">@SachaBaronCohen<\/a>, thanks for what you did today! Free beer and food for you and your crew if you&#8217;re still in downtown Oly. Open until 9pm. Ask for Tasha and she&#8217;ll hook y&#8217;all up!\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nCohen most recently is known for a cable TV show called, \u201cWho is America?\u201d That show, like a lot of Cohen\u2019s humor, lures unsuspecting public figures into awkward situations. On the big screen, he is known for his \u201cBorat\u201d and \u201cBruno,\u201d characters.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nDespite the rumors of Cohen making an appearance, others attended the rally for more serious reasons, such as Alan Swinney of central Texas, who makes a point of going to such rallies.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\nHe also had \u201cproud boy\u201d tattooed on one arm.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cI swore an oath to the Constitution,\u201d he said, \u201cand people\u2019s constitutional rights get violated at conservative rallies. I just make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim Eyman (running for governor) was at the event. reported by Rolf Boone Olympia, WA.
