Trump endorses Ryan after week of tension Immigration lawyer raises questions about Melania Trump’s past MORE on Friday blasted the media for blowing out of proportion an incident at a rally this week where he asked a mother with a crying baby to leave. Everyone’s having fun, we’re smiling, I’m waving.
Devan Ebert told Inside Edition that Trump did not throw her and her baby out of a Virginia rally last week.
You know this. It was plastered all over the news. It’s such a lie. “And they know it’s a lie”, he alleged.
The truth of the matter, however, remained unresolved – until now. He added that while it might have been delivered in an unfriendly manner, maybe even a tad rude on Trump’s part, he certainly did not eject the mother and the baby. “We can take that baby to training school and it’ll be the next great Pavarotti!” And the baby was crying and I jokingly said ‘You know what, that’s OK, let the baby cry, we love babies.’ You know, something to that effect. I like it. What a baby, what a lovely baby. “I don’t throw babies out, believe me”. Don’t worry, don’t worry. Then the baby cried again, the mom left, and as she was on her way to the exit, Trump made his second comment. What a attractive baby. Then after about two minutes, I said I’m going to counteract my order.
“You can get the baby out of here”, the GOP presidential nominee barked from the stage in Ashburn, Va. That’s all right. Don’t worry. “I love babies”, Trump said. He cupped his hand over his eyes to watch her leave. “That’s okay, people don’t understand”.
Dale noted that “mom and baby, very much not kicked out, came back to their seat a bit later”. “I’m not looking to make it into anything bigger”.
Trump, however, didn’t actually kick the squalling child out of his rally.

She said that she chose 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”.
