| | On June 16, 2017, Loomer disrupted the 'Shakespeare in the Park' production of ''Julius Caesar'' in New York City, by walking on stage during the live performance shortly after the character, [[Julius Caesar|Caesar]], dressed similarly to Trump, was assassinated. Before being escorted off the stage by security, Loomer shouted “Stop the normalization of political violence against the right! This is unacceptable!”. The play portrayed a "Trump-like" Caesar with a Slovenian-accented wife. Loomer, who is pro-Trump, was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing. The 'Public Theater' responded by saying although they're "champions" of the First Amendment, the disruption was caused by "social media". On June 19, 2017, ''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported they didn't believe Loomer was genuinely offended by the play, that she disrupted it for attention and to collect a $1,000 bounty that was offered, to anyone who would disrupt the production. On June 20, 2017, [[The Daily Beast]] reported that ‘Free Laura', a website for soliciting donations for her arrest, was purchased by Loomer's employer Ezra Levant, the owner of [[The Rebel Media]], six hours before the play started, according to domain records. Loomer was also promoting separately a WeSearchr page for donations, that had received $12,385 from 241 contributors, receiving more money in donations than the normal penalties for the charges she was facing. | | On June 16, 2017, Loomer disrupted the 'Shakespeare in the Park' production of ''Julius Caesar'' in New York City, by walking on stage during the live performance shortly after the character, [[Julius Caesar|Caesar]], dressed similarly to Trump, was assassinated.
