Shakespeare in the Park’s horrific and offensive rendition of Julius Caesar with Caesar as President Trump being killed has created a lot of controversy, and some advertisers have pulled their sponsorship as a result.
Last night, Laura Loomer of The Rebel media, opted not to stand outside and protest but instead entered the venue and rushed the stage to decry the “normalization” of violence against the right. Jack Posobiec, also of Rebel Media, was in the audience screaming about Goebbels and the “blood of Steve Scalise” being on their hands.
Right-wing activists Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer disrupted a Friday night showing of the controversial Shakespeare in the Park rendition of “Julius Caesar” as an act of protest against the assassination scene where a President Donald Trump lookalike is stabbed by his senate cohorts.A video was tweeted out by Posobiec at 9:13 PM showing Loomer rushing the stage and yelling that the scene was an “act of political violence against the right.” She proceeded to scream it was “unacceptable” before a woman over a megaphone announced that the play was paused. The crowd began booing as she was escorted off the premises by security.As Loomer is taken away, Posobiec stands up and accuses audience members of being like Joseph Goebbels, the infamous Nazi propaganda minister. Posobiec also yelled that the blood of shot Republican Congressman Steve Scalise is on the hands of those in attendance.
The theater released the following statement:
The reaction to this disruption was swift and mixed, with some arguing it’s proper to use leftist tactics against the left, and others saying the “right” should not sink to that level.
Some on the right clearly believe that it is time to begin using the tactics of the left, including this type of disruption.
