On April 27 , 2019 , hours after the Poway synagogue shooting , around ten members of Identity Evropa disrupted a book discussion event at the Politics and Prose bookstore at Washington D.C . The book discussed at the event was '' Dying of Whiteness : How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America ’s Heartland '' , by Jonathan Metzl , which discusses how working class white Americans who were attracted by the Trump administration 's promises end up having a greater risk of illness and a shorter life expectancy as a result of its policies . Members of the group interrupted Metzl 's speech using a bullhorn , said " You would have the white working class trade their homeland for handouts . But we , as nationalists and identitarians , can offer the workers of this country a homeland , their birthright , in addition to health care , good jobs and so forth . " , and chanted " This land is our land " while waking through the bookstore , before exiting ten minutes later . Washington D.C. mayor , Muriel Bowser , condemned the Poway shooting and the bookstore disruption in a tweet , denouncing the former as " horrific act of hate and antisemitism " and the latter as " ignorance and hate "
