Kaine mocks Trump over crying baby

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine needled Republican White House pick Donald Trump for telling a crying baby to leave his campaign rally earlier Tuesday.

{mosads}”I saw Donald Trump kicked a crying baby out of an event earlier today,” the Virginia senator said during a rally in Daytona Beach, Fla., as he spoke about pre-K programs.

“As I’m thinking about pre-K, sometimes you wonder who the baby is,” Kaine added.

As he spoke during a rally in Virginia hours earlier, Trump told the mother of the crying baby who interrupted his speech, “Don’t worry about that baby, I love babies … what a beautiful baby.”

But a few minutes later, when the baby’s cries did not tamp down, Trump changed his mind.

“Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here,” he said as the crowd laughed.

“I think she really believed me, that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking.”
