Donald Trump appears to kick out crying baby at rally in Ashburn, Virginia
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared to kick out a crying baby at a Virginia rally.

ASHBURN, Virginia (KABC) -- We are used to seeing politicians kiss babies on the campaign trail, but Donald Trump did something a little different at a rally in Virginia on Tuesday.

Apparently, there was a crying baby in the crowd. At first, the Republican presidential nominee said, "Don't worry about that baby. I love babies."

Then he has second thoughts.

"Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here ... I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking."

Trump then seemed to suggest that he was joking and that the baby could stay. The child soon stopped crying.
