  • Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took to Twitter (again) on 8 August 2016 to criticize the news media for lying about him, and one instance he highlighted was a story about his allegedly having kicked a crying baby out of a campaign rally in Ashburn, Virginia: Trump was referring to several misleading headlines published on 2 August 2016 that accused him of demanding that a crying infant be removed from the premises where his campaign was holding a political rally. For instance, the New York Post ran a story under the headline Trump Loves Crying Baby, Then Kicks the Tot Out of His Rally, and the New York Daily News published a news video under the title Trump Kicks Crying Baby Out of Rally and stated Trump had booted a fussy baby from a rally: Trump, however, didn't actually kick the squalling child out of his rally. Daniel Dale of the Toronto Star wrote that he was sitting near the baby during the rally, and that while Trump really did make the comments captured in the above-displayed video, the incident was mischaracterized and Trump never actually ordered the tot be removed from the room. According to Dale, Trump said Don't worry about that baby when the infant first started crying, and when the child cried again, the mother quickly left the room to avoid interrupting the candidate. Trump noticed the woman leaving and called after her, You can get the baby out of here. But the woman and the child both returned to their seats later in the rally: Whatever Donald Trump may have said or meant, he did not order that a crying child be removed from his rally, nor was the child or its mother required to leave.
