Shia LaBeouf personally took on a white supremacist who invaded his anti-Trump video live stream.

The actor and activist was filmed shouting down a man who infiltrated his peaceful protest on Monday, by shouting “he will not divide us” into his face.

Walking right up to the camera, the unnamed man started saying the number ‘14’ into the camera, which is a rallying cry for white supremacists that references David Lane’s slogan "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

At first, LaBeouf tried to direct him away from the camera but the man then circled back around and continued to try and deliver his message.

Without touching him, the actor proceeded to shout his message over and over again into his face until he left.

The live art project, which is set up outside New York’s Museum of the Moving Image, has been open to everyone since Trump’s inauguration on Friday.

Launched by LaBeouf and friend Jaden Smith, the stream will simply feature people standing in front of a camera and repeating the words ‘he will not divide us’ over and over again.

“Open to all, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the participatory performance will be live-streamed continuously for four years, or the duration of the presidency,” the website reads.

“In this way, the mantra "HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US" acts as a show of resistance or insistence, opposition or optimism, guided by the spirit of each individual participant and the community.”

The video camera is mounted on the wall outside the Museum of the Moving Image and will not be removed until Trump has left office.
