Last Wednesday, a man shouted “Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!” at a ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ show in Baltimore.
And, the Trump-haters were gleefully tweeting how this incident was “caused” by POTUS.
That is, until it emerged that the guy hated President Trump.
Then the story quickly “disappeared” from social media.
Strange how that works.
The man who shouted “Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!” during the intermission of “Fiddler on the Roof” on Wednesday reportedly did it because he hates President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Baltimore police identified the man as 58-year-old Anthony M. Derlunas II.
Derlunas reportedly told police he had been “drinking heavily throughout the night,” and that he yelled what he did because the scene prior to the “intermission reminded him of his hatred for President Trump,” according to the New York Times. He also reportedly stated that the anger directed at him after his outburst was reason to believe there were a high percentage of Trump supporters in the audience….
Of course Neo-Nazis are disrupting productions of Fiddler on the Roof. There is a 57% rise in anti-semitism. Our President tweets Nazi memes. The new House Minority Leader tweets about evil Jews buying our elections. Both sides aren't good people.

This is where we are in the era of Trump. He fans hatred daily. We must all be vigilant to be the voice of light right now.

UPDATE:
Even covering the apology the anti-Trump sentiment compelling the drunk jerk is glossed over. Because the only news that’s fit to print is the “news” that reinforces the anti-Trump narrative.
Man apologies for shouting ‘Heil Hitler’ at Baltimore show
A man who yelled “Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!” at a theater performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” in Baltimore says he’s sorry for the outburst.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Anthony M. Derlunas II said in an interview with the newspaper that his comments were “beyond a mistake.”
The 58-year-old said he’d been drinking heavily before the show. Derlunas said the classic play set in a Jewish village in czarist Russia reminded him of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, which prompted his outburst.
The comments sparked panic in the Hippodrome Theatre and a few dozen people began running for the exits. The scare came a few weeks after a gunman fatally shot 11 people inside a Pittsburgh synagogue.
