A gender ideology activist was swiftly escorted out after an attempt to interrupt a Turning Point USA event in New York City on Saturday.
The activist in question loudly shouted “trans lives matter” as a performer began singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the start of Turning Point’s Blexit event.

It didn’t escape some Twitter users that the pro-transgender activist was moved out of the venue much like an irate toddler from a kindergarten’s play area.
Just walked out with him like a basket of laundry ?

Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk shared a video of the heckler in question being carried out of the first floor of the venue.
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

Cheers for the anthem appeared to drown out the exclamations of the dissident protester.
The heckler has not been identified.
A liberal cancel campaign had earlier pressured one New York City venue to cancel the planned TPUSA Blexit event, according to Kirk.
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…

TPUSA went on to schedule the event at the Triplex on Long Island.

Speakers at the event went on to criticize the Democratic Party’s political monopoly over the black community.

Pro-transgender extremists have previously targeted Turning Point USA in acts of political violence.
Some of that ‘tolerance’ at @UW! We’re not going anywhere and will continue to have a presence on campus!@tpusastudents @TPUSA @charliekirk11 pic.twitter.com/6XswW24joA

Despite the protests and the attempts to cancel, the event was an overall success.
