US Midterms 2026: Trump Rally Heckled Six Times In Kansas As US President Uses Antisemitic Slur, JD Vance Interrupted Over Epstein Files In North Carolina

A turbulent night on the 2026 midterm campaign trail exposed the depth of public anger directed at the White House, as US President Donald Trump faced sustained heckling from six separate protesters at a Kansas rally while also drawing condemnation for deploying an antisemitic slur

US President Donald Trump was interrupted at least six times by protesters at a midterm campaign rally in Park City, Kansas on Monday, in one of the most disruptive public appearances of his current term, as his vice president faced parallel heckling at a separate rally in North Carolina over the administration’s handling of the Epstein files.

“I f****ing hate you, I hate you,” one woman screamed at Trump as he stumped at the Heartland Credit Union Arena in Park City for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who is locked in an unexpectedly tight race with Democrat Adam Hamilton. The outburst came as Trump was in the act of dismissing an earlier heckler, whom he accused without evidence of being a paid agitator, telling the crowd they were “paid protesters.”

Trump was interrupted at the start of his Kansas rally remarks by the first protester within minutes of taking the stage, with disruptions continuing across his speech. Security escorted multiple individuals from the venue as the crowd responded with chants of “USA, USA.” After each interruption, Trump attempted to reframe the chaos as a sign of enthusiasm, asking the audience: “How great is it to be at a Trump rally?”

What Was Antisemitic Slur Trump Used At Kansas Rally?

The heckling was not the only controversy to emerge from the evening. Trump used an antisemitic slur during the rally in defending Marshall after a news report said he had sued more than 700 patients for unpaid bills during his time as a practising physician, an accusation that generated arrest warrants for many patients who missed court dates and has dogged his re-election campaign.

Trump said the reporting had made Marshall out to be “some kind of a shylock-type guy,” using a term widely recognised as offensive towards Jewish people. 

The word “shylock” refers to a Jewish character in William Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice.” The Anti-Defamation League, in its guidance for educators teaching the play, states: “Shylock, and by extension, all Jews, are presented as money-hungry, conniving, and cruel.”
