Trump Supporter Interrupts Fiddler on the Roof Performance Shouting ‘“Heil Hitler, Heil Trump’
One of President Donald Trump’s supporters interrupted a play on Wednesday night by shouting “Heil Hitler,” which caused audience members to panic and flee from the scene over concerns that he was another far-right gunman.
The Trump supporter’s neo-Nazi outburst happened during a Baltimore, Maryland performance of Fiddler on the Roof, a play about Jewish oppression in Eastern Europe, per the Baltimore Sun.
“Heil Hitler, Heil Trump,” the man shouted while in the balcony sitting area.
“People started running,” said Rich Scherr, a sports writer for the Baltimore Sun who attended the play. “I’ll be honest, I was waiting to hear a gunshot. I thought, ‘Here we go.’”
Luckily, the man was forced to leave the venue without a reported incident.
“My heart was just racing. I didn’t even really pay attention to the second act,” Scherr added.
The Baltimore incident last night occurred a couple weeks after 11 worshippers were gunned down by a white supremacist in a Pittsburgh synagogue. This week, authorities also discovered two Washington, D.C. area men were planning for a race war and stockpiling weapons, ammunition, and tactical gear. One of these men committed suicide before the authorities found him, while the other has been taken into police custody.
