Alt Right Activists Storm Stage At Central Park Julius Caesar Production

Two protesters interrupted a performance of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in New York’s Central Park on Friday night, with one rushing onstage to decry the production’s parallels between the Roman dictator and President Donald Trump.

BREAKING: Julius Ceasar Gets SHUTDOWN,” tweeted pro-Trump Pizzagate conspiracist Jack Posobiec, misspelling the play’s name, as Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist, stormed the stage during the assassination scene, in which (spoiler alert) Julius Caesar is assassinated by members of the Roman Senate.

“You are all Goebbels,” Posobiec shouted in the video, referring to the Nazi propaganda minister. “You are inciting terrorists! ... The blood of Steve Scalise is on your hands!”

The assassination scene has drawn criticism, as Caesar is depicted in the play as wearing a long red tie, a blonde bouffant, and grabbing his Slavic-accented wife’s crotch—not-so-subtle modernizations that have angered Trump supporters. Delta Air Lines and the Bank of America pulled sponsorship from the Public Theater, which produces New York’s annual “Shakespeare In the Park” summer series.

Like they were innocent protesters. No they were belligerent, disruptive assholes. Jack Posobiec can go eat a big, steaming bag of dog shit.

he will ever say they are radical. These are homegrown radicals, not immigrants from any of the countries Trump wrote the travel ban, what is he planning to do to stop this radical group.
