“For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility. When somebody is sick enough to resort to spitting on someone, it just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we’re winning.” – Eric Trump
NBC Chicago’s Mary Ann Ahern first reported on the employee at Chicago bar Aviary spitting on Eric Trump last night:
The political reporter for NBC 5 Chicago reported the rumors on her Twitter account. She said the offender was in Secret Service custody.

Eric Trump told Breitbart News that it was a “purely disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems.”
Eric Trump was at Chicago cocktail lounge Aviary with a group of people when a female employee walked right up to him and spit in his face. Secret Service immediately took the woman into custody and transported her to a police paddy wagon. Eric Trump decided not to press charges so the woman was released.
CPD was on scene and assisting the United States Secret Service with a law enforcement matter. Any and all inquiries regarding a federal protectee must be directed to the Secret Service.
