I don't think you should all people Nazis (unless they actually are, i.e white supremacists) and I don't call everyone racist.

But the objection is less calling her a Nazi and more the way they surrounded her and harassed her in the street. A group of angry people surrounding someone whilst hurling abuse carries an undertone of violence to it. If this happened to anyone in a public setting you hope the police would step in and disperse the group. Given the fact she is also an MP and that carries additional security concerns then it's even worse.
