A transgender protester who attempted to interrupt the National Anthem at a Turning Point USA event in New York City on Thursday was carried out by security kicking and screaming like a child.
As the performer began singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the activist began loudly chanting, “Trans lives matter.”

As many on Twitter noted, the activist was promptly carried out of the venue like a screaming toddler.
Just walked out with him like a basket of laundry 😂

The video of the interruption of the National Anthem was shared by Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, which showed the trans protester being carried out off the venue’s first floor by security.
Security removed some trans activists during the middle of the National Anthem at our BLEXIT/TPUSA Liberation Tour in NYC. Maybe they were mad their flag wasn’t flying next to the Stars and Stripes? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/6P9g2LSum5

Luckily, cheers for the anthem drowned out the protester’s anti-Ameircan chants.
The heckler is yet to be identified.
A liberal cancel campaign had pressured one New York City venue to cancel the TPUSA Blexit event, Kirk said.
Outrageous!!

A bunch of white liberal New Yorkers just cancelled a BLEXIT/TPUSA venue for an event featuring Brandon Tatum, Candace Owens, Anthony, Davis, and Yoenmi Park—3 black Americans and 1 North Korean defector—with less than three days notice.
Our event will go on AS…
However, TPUSA scheduled the event at the Triplex on Long Island.
Speakers at the event criticized the Democrat’s political monopoly over the black community.
This isn’t the first time transgender activists have targeted a Turning Point USA event.
In April, swimmer and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines was violently assaulted by transgender activists during a Turning Point USA event in San Francisco.
Not long after her speech at the event on saving women’s sports, Riley tweeted she was “ambushed and physically hit twice by a man.”
In the video shared by Riley Gaines, they chased her down after she was assaulted as police attempted to get her to safety.
Watch
The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces.
