A protester interrupted President Donald Trump’s midterm rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday by shouting about the jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.
Video from inside the arena, posted on TikTok and shared on X by Vince D. Monroy, captured the outburst from the protester’s point of view.
“Liar! You’re a liar!” the protester shouted. “Why don’t you tell people the truth?”
The protester then called Trump a “rapist” several times and shouted, “He raped E. Jean Carroll!” The video shows people nearby reacting as the protester was escorted out.
A second clip, from the Right Side Broadcasting Network livestream, shows Trump stopping his speech at the podium during the disruption while supporters behind him look toward the commotion.
In May 2023, a Manhattan federal jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s and for defaming her. It awarded her $5 million. A second jury later ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million for further defamation. Under New York’s legal definition, the jury did not find that Trump committed rape. The judge in the case later said the verdict showed Carroll proved Trump “raped” her as the term is commonly understood.
Trump has denied Carroll’s allegations and appealed both verdicts.
The Vandalia rally was one of several stops Trump has made in Republican-leaning states in the final weeks before the midterms. Recent polls show Democrat Sherrod Brown leading Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio’s Senate race.
