While a good deal of the negative reporting on our two presidential candidates has been brought on by their own words or actions, it just seemed over-the-top when I heard about the "crying baby" incident at one of Donald Trump's rallies, as the ugly headline read: "Donald Trump Tells Mom to Leave Rally Over Crying Baby."
 
Well according to one man who attended the same rally, what actually happened was very different.
 
Will Estrada, is the Director of Federal Relations for the Home School Legal Defense Association, among other titles, and had been asked by the Trump Campaign to lead the prayer at the beginning of the rally in Ashburn, Virginia.
 
He shared some of his thoughts on the evening in a public post on his Facebook page—I've included some excerpts below. As you read Mr. Estrada's post, keep his words in mind as the election season continues: "...My conclusion is that the media is selling us a narrative. Be very skeptical of what the media is telling you, because I saw it with my own eyes..."
 
Facebook post by Will Estrada:
Today I went to the Donald Trump rally in Ashburn, VA. Since I know good people can disagree over whether or not to support Trump, I am just going to post some candid thoughts below. I report, you decide!
 
Since I am the chairman of the Loudoun County Republican Committee, I was working with the campaign in advance of the rally. On Monday evening, a senior Trump staffer emailed me and asked me if I would be willing to give the invocation at the rally. I said I'd be happy to, but I also told him that as a born again Christian, I end my prayers with "I pray all of this in the name of Jesus." Since I know that in this day and age mentioning the name of Jesus can offend some people, I said I'd understand if they preferred that someone else give the invocation. His response to me was: "We know that's how you pray, that's why we asked you."
 
After the welcome (by John Whitbeck), invocation (by yours truly), pledge (by Sheriff Michael Chapman), and National Anthem (by Briar Woods High School Teacher Nina Peyton), we waited back stage to get a photo with Donald Trump. And then—he was there, with a crowd of staff, Loudoun County Sheriff's deputies, and Secret Service. I was immediately struck by his presence—he radiates confidence, but also I was struck by his soft spoken demeanor. He spoke softly and thoughtfully the entire time we were backstage.
 
The first person to get a photo with him was an older man. We had been chatting before-hand while all of us were waiting for Trump to arrive, and he introduced himself as Lieutenant Colonel Louis Dorfman and he had served in the 82nd Airborne. He shook hands with Donald Trump, and handed him his Purple Heart saying he wanted Trump to have it as thanks for standing up for wounded vets. Trump was surprised and said something like "I can't take this!" We were all surprised and not expecting this. It was pretty cool to see the respect this veteran had for Trump...

...As we finished up the photos, Trump looked at all the Sheriff's Deputies. "Let's get them in the photo," he said. And then he was taking group photos with all of the cops. They loved it. In fact, my favorite photo I took was all of the deputies with Trump (I'll post it tomorrow). I was struck by how Trump didn't forget the "little people." Even though it was just a few of us and no media, he was relaxed and took the time to get photos with everyone.
 
The rally itself was super cool. Lots of energy, packed room (something like 2000 people had to be turned away because the auditorium was packed—and just on 24 hours(‘) notice!), everyone stood the entire time even though they all had seats. One thing I want to mention is the baby crying, because that has been national news. Contrary to news stories, it was a very funny thing, Trump was very supportive of the mom calling her and her baby "beautiful" and "wonderful", and then when the baby kept crying he turned it into a joke. Everyone was laughing and it was actually very endearing and funny. Not at all anti-mom or anti-baby like the media has portrayed it to be.

Which brings me to the final point: I was there and saw and heard the entire event with the mom and baby. There was nothing to it. But then after I'm reading all the news coverage saying "Trump hates moms and babies!!!" I started to doubt myself. Did I really miss a huge story right in front of me? I started asking others who were there, including a husband and wife with young kids. And everyone in the room said the same thing: there was no story here. Trump was being funny and personable and going out of his way to make sure the mom wasn't embarrassed by making it a funny situation. My conclusion is that the media is selling us a narrative. Be very skeptical of what the media is telling you, because I saw it with my own eyes and it was something very different.
