“Why are you paying a shilling here for a right-wing extremist? What’s the matter, aren’t you training at home?” the organizers asked Walker.
Walker tried to defuse the tension by issuing an apology, but organizers took issue with the use of gendered language in Walker’s apology. Earlier in the evening, a volunteer who participated in the march told Ms. Walker that organizers had used the pronoun “they/them.”
“I’m sorry, ma’am,” said Mr. Walker.
“I’m not ma’am. You don’t know me,” said the host despite appearing to be a woman.
Organizers instructed other event attendees not to talk to Walker, stating: [a] right-wing critic. ”
Volunteers who participated in the march tried to dismiss Walker, but Walker refused. Shortly after, a mob of volunteers with black umbrellas swarmed the Daily Caller and tried to disrupt the video shoot.

“I hope you’re on the right side of this issue too,” the woman asked.
“Well, I’m a journalist, so I don’t take sides,” Walker replied.

Walker again tried to escape the group and volunteers with umbrellas, but was stopped by a female event attendee who grabbed the reporter’s scooter and refused to get off. She finally jumped off Walker’s scooter after her walker demanded with her strong words that she back off.
Once off Walker’s scooter, the woman used her cell phone’s flashlight to hide the journalist’s ability to record further video of the demonstrators.
“Do you think they came here to stand and hold umbrellas?” the woman asked Walker, continuing to call out his name. A group of demonstrators continued to pursue Walker as he resumed his attempts to escape the demonstrators. The white woman then threatened to call the police on the black journalist.
“Are you going to call the police on me?” Walker asked.
“Yeah, you’re an idiot.” The woman shot back.
The woman angrily accused Walker of hitting her with a scooter and threatened to “throw her across the park” if the same thing happened. She ridiculed Walker, saying she felt threatened by her remarks.
“Well, I’m threatening you, boo-fucking-foo,” she said.
Another “Marshal of Levee” intervened, accusing Walker of “aggressively tailing people.”
“We are here to fight for our rights and you guys are fucking us,” the activist said.
Walker denied the allegations and sought the views of organizers and attendees on recent laws affecting minors who claim to be transgender.
The same anonymous woman interrupted and said the event was about “transgender rights.” “I don’t want to hang out with black people for an hour and a half because they suck,” she said. The woman also accused Walker of not supporting her own rights as a black American.
The “Dike Sheriff” then told a mob of umbrella-toting volunteers and angry event-goers that the event was nearly over and it was no longer worth trying to stop the walkers. As the party departed, they said goodbye to journalists.
“I wish I could get better pictures of my ass,” one of the volunteers told Walker.
“Go away,” said another volunteer.
As Walker left, an event attendee in a baseball jersey and basketball shorts followed him and repeatedly called him a “fascist.” The reporter answered a question about a man who identifies as a transgender woman.
“Should a transgender woman be considered a lesbian if she finds women attractive?”
“You are talking to a transgender woman right now,” the attendee replied as he walked away.
“Okay, goodbye,” concluded Mr. Walker. (Related article: “Profanity”: US bishops condemn Los Angeles Dodgers for praising LGBT anti-Catholic groups)
