A right-wing protester has been charged with trespassing after interrupting a New York production of Julius Caesar during the assassination scene and shouting: “This is violence against Donald Trump.”

The protester, who later identified herself as Laura Loomer, interrupted the Shakespeare In The Park production on Friday night and shouted “this is political violence against the right,” while audience members booed and told her to get off the stage.

The incident was filmed by Jack Posobiec, who stood up as Loomer was escorted off stage by security guards and yelled at the crowd: “You are all Goebbels. You are all Nazis like Joseph Goebbels…. You are inciting terrorists. The blood of Steve Scalise is on your hands.”

Reports from the audience say the play resumed within a minute, with the stage manager directing the cast to “Pick up at ‘liberty and freedom’.”
