On Saturday, President Donald Trump appeared at a rally in Ohio when a protester interrupted and started yelling at him.
According to a social media video that appeared to have been filmed by the heckler himself, the man shouted, “Liar!” and “Rapist” at the president.
“Liar, you’re a liar. Why don’t you tell people the truth? You rapist, Rapist! You raped E. Jean Carroll. Rapist! Release the files,” the heckler said, per The Daily Beast.

The heckler, The Daily Beast reported, was drowned out by the boos of the crowd, and security called for his removal.
The “rapist” reference was likely meant to describe the E. Jean Carroll case, in which a jury ruled that Trump had both sexually abused and defamed Carroll. The “release the files” was almost certainly a call to release more of the still-redacted Epstein files.
“The Carroll verdicts are a sore spot for Trump, whose appeal of the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict was rejected by the Supreme Court,” The Daily Beast reported. “He was recently force to fork over $5.6 million in damages from the 2023 lawsuit, in which a jury found him civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.”
After that, Trump appeared to reference the protestor.

“Just get out and vote. If you do that we’re gonna win and we’re gonna win big. And we’re gonna shove it up their a–,” Trump said, per the Beast.
The visit to Ohio, the Beast reported, was part of “campaign blitz as he seeks to staunch the bleeding of a wounded Republican Party facing the prospect of losing its majorities in the House and Senate in November.”
