Comparing state lawmakers to the Nazis, Perkins denounced proposed legislation that would strip state funding from public libraries and other venues hosting drag shows. "By manipulating the words of an ancient text and shoehorning it into legislation aimed at an at-risk minority population, you liken yourself to another group that gained popularity in Germany in the 1930s," the activist declared, referring to Nazi Germany. She continued with the theme comparing the legislator's to Hitler himself. "When a small man with a smaller mustache stood before crowds and proclaimed himself superior to others — I see you here doing the same."
Perkins accused the legislators of using "children as cowards" to hide their bigotry, noting that some of the first to be imprisoned under the Nazi Party rule were homosexuals and transgender people. "The bill is two seconds away from the outdated discriminatory three articles of laws of the 20th century, and I will not stand for it. We will not stand for it," the activist said, before officials muted Perkins' microphone. When going over the time limit Perkins was approached by an officer when an unidentified man started pushing the officer. The situation did not escalate and the altercation ended.

Perkins continued yelling at the assembly with the microphone muted, "If you wish to eradicate transgenderism from the public life as members of your party have said, you can pry that from my cold, dead hands."
