What happened?
Loomer, who live-streamed the incident on Instagram, stormed the main stage at the Women's March New York City event, shouting, "The Women's March does not represent Jewish people," "The Women's March hates Jews," "What about the Jews?" and "The Women's March is the real Nazi march."

She interrupted Agunda Okeyo, director for Women's March New York City, when she jumped on stage, attempting to take the microphone.

More from the Examiner:
Loomer yelled the names of several activists, including Women's March leader Linda Sarsour, and called them "Jew-haters." She protested her removal, arguing that Jewish women were invited. Loomer livestreamed herself for an additional 30 minutes, standing on a sidewalk near the stage providing commentary to those watching.
