A left-wing heckler was reportedly removed from a Friday screening of “Hating Breitbart” in Arlington, Va.

If you were in DC and witnessed the heckler please reach out and tell us what happened. They hate him even in death. It’s all they know.

Seriously who heckles a movie?? That’s the dumbest thing ever! Progs are still tortured by Andrew Breitbart even to this day! #WAR

@hatingbreitbart And I bet you that somewhere in this land the spirit of Andrew Breitbart is smiling with great delight.

This Twitter user was at the Regal theater.

Missed a few min. of @hatingbreitbart because a left wing jerk kept on adding his own commentary & had to get the manager.

@hatingbreitbart Talked to the managers after the 10:20 showing. They said he claimed to be in the movie & had a sign.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the heckler may be Ryan Clayton, a progressive activist and Huffington Post writer who appears in Andrew Marcus’ documentary.

BREAKING! I’m hearing that HuffPo writer Ryan Clayton was the unhinged DC Heckler! huffingtonpost.com/ryan-clayton/ He’s in the film! #BreitbartIsHere

HuffPo Writer Ryan Clayton reportedly ejected from Hating Breitbart screening in DC for shouting about cocaine during film! #Classy

Ryan Clayton ==> @100proofpolitic were you the unhinged heckler ejected in DC 4 shouting at the screen about cocaine? Please confirm/deny.

— Hating Breitbart (@HatingBreitbart) October 20, 2012

Still unconfirmed Ryan Clayton was the unhinged DC heckler but I’m now hearing the person claimed 2B in the film. Clayton is in the film.

Was Clayton the heckler shouting about Andrew Breitbart and cocaine? At the 2011 Netroots Nation conference, he asked Breitbart, “Have you kicked the cocaine habit?”

@hatingbreitbart I’m going to confirm w. the theater managers about whether it’s him using the Netroots ’11 footage.

Twitchy will monitor this developing news and update as more information becomes available.

Update:

A conservative moviegoer believes the heckler was indeed Ryan Clayton.

@bankofkev that was the guy I was talking about last night.

@hatingbreitbart he was let back in. Met through a mutual friend & he tries to be civil toward me. @matthewjlb @shawnofthedread@danriehl

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

@hatingbreitbart he was annoying and rude to one patron. He’s trying to stir the pot & get attention. @matthewjlb @shawnofthedread @danriehl

Here’s her account from the screening:

So @chrisloesch, @dloesch and @larryoconnor, in our theater of “Hating Breitbart”, we were joined by one of the liberals in the movie (P, 1)

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

He was completely obnoxious and one of the patrons tried to remove him. He even got into that guys face on the way out.. but came back (P,2)

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

After movie, he was asking patrons if we knew that Andrew’s last tweet was “I apologize”. I corrected him, but he ignored it. (P,3)

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

Just thought you guys would like to be aware of the “spin”. That guy is creating. He’s trying to be a Liberal Andrew, w/o the facts (end).

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

@chrisloesch oh, I did. He was just spinning it to people who didn’t know Breitbart…. to make him look bad. He’s taping for YouTube.

— Anahita Nemat (@AnahitaNemat) October 20, 2012

Another account from someone who attended the screening of “Hating Breitbart”:

@hatingbreitbart @matthewjlb Online accounts that he was “screaming” during film are an exaggeration, but he was asked to leave.

Update:

Clayton was indeed the heckler.

— Hating Breitbart (@HatingBreitbart) October 20, 2012

A YouTube video shows Clayton being escorted from the theater. Clayton had approached patrons with a “pop quiz” about Andrew Breitbart and was told by security, “You can pop quiz outside.”
