‘Heil Hitler, Heil Trump,’ Nazi Salute Interrupts ‘Fiddler on the Roof’

From The Baltimore Sun:

A man shouting a pro-Nazi and pro-Trump salute during a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” in Baltimore has reignited discussions of anti-Semitism amid increases in hate crimes in Maryland and nationwide.

Audience member Rich Scherr said the outburst, during intermission at the Hippodrome Theatre on Wednesday, prompted fears that it was the beginning of a shooting. The man, who had been seated in the balcony, began shouting “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump.” Immediately after that, “People started running,” Scherr said. “I’ll be honest, I was waiting to hear a gunshot. I thought, ‘Here we go.’”

Samit Verma was seated in the balcony when he heard shouting and saw a man holding his hand straight up in a Nazi salute, he said in an email Thursday. Ushers rushed over to the man while audience members quickly made their way out of the theater and into the hall, Verma said.

  1. And our President suggests he should ramp up his rhetoric.

    Kinda gives the impression, that at best, he’s indifferent to anti-Semitism.

  2. Like I’ve been saying, Trump is evil. He is a racist. He is a liar. He stokes fear, anger and hate. His words plainly tell us what he is. Why are people afraid to admit it, and speak the truth about the stark naked emperor?

    No more mincing words, and no more allowing the radical Right to unilaterally define words.

    Those who support Trump are wittingly or unwittingly supporting evil. Period.

    If evil is used in every discussion and description of Trump, like he does in demeaning others, the truth may finally take hold on enough Americans to resist the evil.

    Join the chorus. “Trump is evil. Period”.
