"A Kid With Cerebral Palsy Got Ejected From A Trump Rally. Then He Met The President."

This is why we will win...Because we have better arguments and because this would NEVER happen at a Clinton rally or any Democrats rally.OMG they pushed his wheelchair.

"Twelve-year-old J.J. Holmes begged his mother to drive him to a Donald Trump rally in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday. J.J., who has cerebral palsy, wanted to go and protest the Republican nominee’s treatment of people with disabilities.

His mother, Alison, agreed to make the trip. But once they got there and began chanting Hillary Clinton’s name, Trump ordered them out of the rally.

Trump supporters responded by “chanting ‘U-S-A’ and pushing his wheelchair,” Alison told The Washington Post.

“We were put out by security,” she said. “Mr. Trump kept saying, ‘Get them out.’”

The day after J.J. and his mom were kicked out of the Trump rally, they headed to Kissimmee, Florida, about an hour east of Tampa, to watch President Barack Obama deliver one of his final campaign speeches on behalf of Clinton. The president and the former secretary of state are two of J.J.’s heroes, Kimberly DeFalco, a woman who witnessed the events at the Trump rally and spoke about it with Alison, posted on Facebook.

DeFalco asked for help in arranging a meeting between the 12-year-old boy and the president. “This would be life-changing for JJ and also send powerful encouragement for all who live with disabilities and rise up despite them!” she wrote."
