Former Project Veritas reporter and far-right activist Laura Loomer smuggled herself onto the Women's March main stage in New York to shout that the Women's March "does not represent Jewish people."

Loomer livestreamed herself on Instagram maneuvering through a crowd and making her way to the main stage. She interrupted Agunda Okeyo, the director of the Women's March New York City, who was giving her opening remarks. Okeyo, who identifies as pansexual, was born in Kenya but is a resident of the Bronx.
Loomer told security that she was a member of the media and made her way to the stage, filming the crowd. After a few seconds, she approached the microphone and attempted to seize it from Okeyo, yelling, "What about the Jews."
"The Women's March does not represent Jewish people. The Women's March is the real Nazi march. The Women's March hates Jews," Loomer shouted as security approached her and escorted her off the stage to cheers from the crowd.
The Women's March organization has come under fire for anti-Semitic remarks by leaders and support for Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, who once referred to Jewish people as "termites."
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.
The main stage in New York featured multiple speakers claiming Jewish faith, often leading with the Jewish greeting "Shabbat Shalom," and discussing the unity of Jewish women of color with all minorities and women in general.
The Women's March is an organization with "sister marches" or chapters throughout the world that individually host and organize the march events under the organization's name. The main 2019 Women's March, the third annual event held globally following the election of Donald Trump as president, returned to the District of Columbia after taking a year away from the nation's capitol to host the main march in Nevada, a contested state in the 2018 midterm elections.
Laura Loomer has attempted multiple publicity stunts in the last several months, including handcuffing herself to the front door of Twitter headquarters and trespassing at Nancy Pelosi's home.
