Trump Rally Heckler Targets Epstein Ties

At a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Chillicothe, Ohio, an activist disrupted the event by shouting and singing a chant that linked Trump to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The protester, Robert Potylo—who uses the online moniker “Robby Roadsteamer”—was escorted out by security and handed over to local police after the outburst. Potylo later described the incident as a pre-planned effort to intervene within the first five minutes of Trump’s speech.

Potylo has built an online following by confronting Trump allies, having previously heckled former White House strategist Steve Bannon in 2024. He shaved his beard for the first time in two decades to avoid recognition by supporters. During the rally, he shouted “Butterscotch shitler! Pumpkin spice pedo!” and sang “The Epstein Plane.” In the same HuffPost report, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is cited as noting that Trump’s name appears more than a million times in the unredacted Epstein Files, a claim that has been used by critics to highlight alleged connections between the former president and Epstein.

Security personnel removed Potylo from the venue and transferred him to police, who took steps to prevent further confrontation by Trump supporters outside the building. No official comment from the Trump campaign or the local law-enforcement agency was provided in the source material. Rep. Raskin’s statement about the Epstein Files was presented as an attributed claim without additional verification from the campaign.
