Per other reports, the baby had broken bones from the bodies that fell on him. This photo would be a career-ender for any other politician. As it is, no one will remember a week from now, and yet it’s unforgivable.

From the First Lady’s twitter account, this appears to be the baby both of whose parents died shielding him from the El Paso shooter. The baby in question was discharged the day before and brought back for Trumps visit. Child is not id’d on
@flotus account. But appears to...

1. That family should be ashamed for allowing that baby to be used for a photo op

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Human filth, all of them and now all who support him

[cwydro]

3. Awful that family willingly participated in this farce.

And a thumbs up? What the ever loving fuck?

4. Put yourself in this kid's position in 15-20 years. Your family member used you as a prop,

not even a week after your parents were murdered, for a photo op to feed the ravenous ego of the sociopath who incited the very mass murder event which killed your parents. They even brought you BACK to the hospital for that purpose.

If I were that kid I'd never forgive my uncle (or whoever it was). The minute I was capable of being even marginally financially independent I'd leave and never speak to him again.

5. There is no bottom to the vile cesspool that is Trump

nope

6. That baby person is looking as if he wished the other lady could take him back.

Looks totally as if he would rather be with her.

Poor, poor child. Not many humans have ever had so much tragedy heaped upon them at so young an age. Hoping whoever will raise the little boy will really do his/her very best.

May his heroic parents rest in peace. They brought him this far to protect him, hope someone will be glad to take over for them.

7. Are we certain that's the baby?

2 months old? Broken bones?

9. I enlarged the picture.

Right hand, pinkie finger, looks to have something wrapped around it.

12. Ahh..ok

thanks. He looks older than 2 mos. to me.

Tragic. 😔

[sheshe2]

13. I am not good with kids ages.

The thing that looks like a 'scrunchie' on the finger could be fake too. Plus the report says more than one finger was broke. No putting it past the trumps. Mellie, who wants her son out of the political game has no problem using someone else's child.

Found this.

The story is kind of strange. Two of the children were the wife's by other relationships. Yet the brother only wants custody of the baby. Where are the other kids,his brother adopted going to go? Strange.

8. Anyone with a heart including the relatives

would not have allowed that baby to leave his home

[sheshe2]

10. Read the uncles statement.

They are trumpers....enough said about people with a heart.

11. Those grifters will use anyone.
