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

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.

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

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.

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.

Clayton was indeed the heckler.

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.”
