On October 28, 2026, President Donald Trump was delivering a speech at a campaign rally in Chillicothe, Ohio when a protester shouted “Butterscotch Hitler!

Protester Background
The protester identified himself as Robert Potylo, who uses the online handle “Robby Roadsteamer.” Potylo has a history of confronting MAGA figures, having heckled former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon at a 2024 press conference. He said he shaved his beard for the first time in 20 years to avoid recognition by Trump supporters and deliberately timed his outburst within the first five minutes of the speech.
