Man apologizes for yelling 'Heil Hitler, heil Trump' at 'Fiddler on the Roof' performance
Baltimore Sun ^ | November 16, 2018 | Sarah Meehan

The man who shouted “Heil Hitler, heil Trump” at a Baltimore performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” apologized Friday for his outburst, saying he chose the wrong words when he was attempting to compare President Donald Trump to the Nazi leader.

Anthony M. Derlunas II, 58, said the play, which tells the story of a Jewish family facing persecution in tsarist Russia, reminded him of Trump’s immigration policies. His comparison “came out wrong” and was “beyond a mistake” he said during an interview at his home in Joppa.

“Instantly it was like, ‘Oh my God, what did you do?’ ” said Derlunas, who acknowledged he had been drinking heavily before the show. “The thing that I can’t stand is Trump spreading hatred, and what did I do? I spread hatred.”

Derlunas’ outburst came during the intermission of the show at the Hippodrome Theatre on Wednesday evening. He was escorted from the theater’s balcony by security, and police issued him a stop ticket — less serious than a citation.

Police spokesman Matt Jablow said his words were protected by the First Amendment.

Candace Owens is absolutely right: it’s very frightening to see what has happened to the left in this country, which has gone from being mildly annoying but basically toeing the line, at least when under observation, to being insane, out of control and as menacing as a loony on the A train between 168th and 125th streets - in other words, you’re trapped with a nutcase.

Heavy hitters here and abroad will not see their Global Agenda completely destroyed in our country....and they’re willing to put leftists/politicians butts on the line to do so....that includes the media giants, social media giants and Hollywood. Which is another reason they have moved further to the far left.....that’s where they all are even though half of them don’t realize it becuase they’re just plain idiots.
