Far-Right Group Pranked: 'Dude, Is This Like A Bad Impression Of Borat?'
To put it plainly, Matt Marshall was duped.
"Yeah. I mean. It was a miss," Marshall said by phone, with a sigh.
Marshall, 36, is the founder and former leader of the Washington Three Percent, which is aligned with the far-right Patriot and militia movement. On Saturday, he was the emcee at a rally in Olympia called March for Our Rights 3, a gathering of "constitutionalist" factions that extremism trackers put in the anti-government category.
The event's disastrous ending â a seemingly staged by prankster â went viral over the weekend. The apparent infiltration was the latest salvo; they've never bought into the militia makeover. The , an Oregon-based watchdog that repeatedly has warned of the anti-government threat, said it had no information on the stunt, but "found it amusing."
