“You can’t tell from Twitter, but rightwing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos is in New York today.

He wanted to go out for a drink, and ended up picking the wrong bar—one where members of the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America had just finished a meeting.

Yiannopoulos denies being a Nazi and Nazi website The Daily Stormer led an organized boycott of Breitbart for employing him because he is gay and of Jewish descent.

Yiannopoulos—who is banned from Twitter but not Facebook—posted a statement about the incident saying he was “shoved and screamed at” and that “it’s now impossible for me to safely go out for lunch in most major cities in America because I supported Trump at the last election and don’t like feminism.”

“They were screaming at the top of their lungs about ‘Nazis’ and ‘KKK’. Initially I was going to stay put obviously but they blocked me from my table and my bag and yelled at me to leave and it was about to escalate into something ugly,” he wrote. “It rattled me a little bit (just slightly!), perhaps because I have something to lose in life now. My first thought was John and not getting myself hurt or killed. I don’t know how I’d explain to my black husband that I got hurt for being a ‘white supremacist’. I didn’t have security with me so I had to just get out of there. I won’t name the place we were at because the staff were really understanding and cool about it.”
