Loveland Trump Supporters Accost Disabled Child

A report from Denver7’s Sally Mamdooh is rapidly making its way around the internet today, describing another unfortunate incident at a Donald Trump rally–this time involving a local mother with her disabled child attending Monday’s event in Loveland:

Jennifer Mau and her 7-year-old daughter, who has disabilities, say they attended the rally as an undecided family, wanting to know more about the Republican candidate for president…

Amid the rally, however, Mau decided to leave with her daughter. Mau said that drew the ire of those surrounding her.

When we were leaving, somebody said, ‘Why are you leaving?’ and basically struck a nerve,” Mau said. “I said, ‘Why are you here? He makes fun of people like you.'”

Several people yelled at her – one followed her, telling her if she loved her daughter she should vote for Trump — until she said Secret Service escorted her out of the rally. [Pols emphasis]

Thankfully there was no physical altercation during this incident, perhaps due to the quick intervention of Secret Service agents to escort Jennifer Mau and her daughter out of harm’s way. But it’s an example of the all-consuming belligerence from many Trump supporters today–who can’t understand why everyone doesn’t support their messiah, and take any statement or action other than unquestioning devotion as a personal affront.

When a mother and child can’t even leave Trump’s rally without being confronted, it’s gone too far.
