http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/11/6/1592275/-Child-with-Cerebral-Palsy-Hounded-Out-of-Trump-RallyGiven the breathless wall-to-wall media coverage of the GOP panic attack over a Republican protester with a scary sign at Trumps Reno rally last night, Im surprised this hasnt received more attention. On the same day, at a Trump rally in Tampa, his supporters pushed around J.J. Holmes, a 12-year old boy with severe cerebral palsy pushing and kicking at his wheelchair while Trump bellowed Get them out!...
After his speech, Obama spent a moment with J.J. Holmes, a 12-year-old boy with a severe case of cerebral palsy who had been pushed out of a Trump rally Saturday in Tampa. A White House photographer snapped photographs of Obama shaking hands with J.J. and standing behind the boy's wheelchair, according to a pool report.
J.J. said that he had gone to the Saturday rally to protest Trump's mocking of people who have disabilities. His mother, Alison Holmes, brought her son, who speaks only through a computer vocalization device. The crowd started chanting 'U-S-A' and pushing his wheelchair, Holmes said.
As Holmes spoke, J.J. said through his vocalization device: I hate Donald Trump. I hate Donald Trump.

thrilled as the little boy, just watching the president do that magical thing he does with kids.
I love this photo from Roll Call:
