Posobiec live-streamed an investigation of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, in which high-ranking officials were alleged to have been involved in a child-sex ring centered at a Washington, D.C. pizzeria.

On June 16, 2017, Posobiec disrupted a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar that depicted the title character as a President Trump-like figure.
