Whiny Republican Donald Trump Kicks a Lady and Her Crying Baby Out of a Rally

"I love babies. I hear that baby cry, I like it," Trump said at a campaign event here as a baby could be heard crying in the audience.

But less than two minutes later, as the baby continued to wail, Trump took back his words.
"Actually I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here," he said to laughs. "I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking.

Trump: 'You can get the baby out of here'

Donald Trump is complaining that the media has spun a fable that he kicked a baby out of his rally in Ashburn, Va.

The New York Post, for instance, headlined its article: “Trump loves crying baby, then kicks the tot out of his rally.”

The New York Daily News, in its article on the incident, began: “What a baby. Donald Trump booted a fussy baby from a rally Tuesday because the tot was wailing over the businessman’s speech.”

The Guardian newspaper even used the incident to declare that this is a core problem with Trump — that he has “a total lack of empathy.”

Dale’s account is confirmed by the mother herself — Virginia resident Devan Ebert. (She spoke on the condition that we not report her town.)

“The media did in fact blow this entire situation out of proportion,” she wrote in an email. “I’m not looking to make it into anything bigger. All I’m hoping is that Trump personally is aware that I am in agreement with him and stand by the fact that I was never kicked out of the rally.”

She said that she decided to leave the auditorium on her own because “it’s the considerate thing to do for others around, trying to listen or for those presenting,” adding that “it was blatantly obvious he was joking.” She said she stood with the police officers outside the auditorium, who were very kind to her, and then returned to her seat once her child had calmed down.

“I had a wonderful time and I appreciate Trump’s graciousness during a time that is usually considered stressful,” she said. “His comic relief was a breath of fresh air.”

The Pinocchio Test

Trump has been unfairly maligned here. We can see why some reporters ran with this tale, based only on the videotape, but it’s good example of why everything must be checked out.

We’ve given Trump many Pinocchios over the course of the campaign but he earns a Geppetto Checkmark for getting at least this story right.

Yeah trumps not a politician and he has trouble focusing and staying on message. He just doesn't listen to his campaign staff.

We as a country have accepted a lower standard of living as the new norm. Oh well. Hils will get in, the top will do well, she will pay lip service to minorities and the middle class while they continue to plod along in a slow growth economy without many job prospects. Rinse and repeat.

truth.

plenty of time left and lots of things can and will happen. I suspect the race tightens, as gullible Americans will believe the caricature that the mainstream media has painted of Hillary - still say she wins by 4%.

i don't know Bob, you're about as misogynistic and racist as it gets and you ain't moving. I don't think he calculated the "convenient liberals" like yourself would actually stay in her camp. I'm thinking even Georgia falls. He might not get 120 EC votes.

yep - the republican party depends on uneducated voters.. which is why they demonize and de-fund education. It does nothing to advance their cause.

They don't defund education, they move it to for profit charters which gives money back to those who write checks for their campaign.

Golly Gee - Bob the man that says we shouldn't trust the Media posts more of their lies. It'll be mighty disappointing to your acolytes to see that you too get sucked in.

Fact Checker - Trump is right: He didn’t kick a baby out of a campaign rally

Dale’s account is confirmed by the mother herself — Virginia resident Devan Ebert. (She spoke on the condition that we not report her town.)

The picture was taken in February after an ice storm. Drudge just left that detail out.

Maybe real men in Mio let their women climb up icy steps unassisted. I doubt it.

I don't think the real men in Mio are big fans of women, in general.
