Trump-loving mom blames ‘Democratic schools’ after young son yells ‘Take the b*tch down’ at rally

During a Trump rally on Tuesday, a young boy in the audience began chanting, “Take the b***h down!” in reference to Hillary Clinton.

If you were expecting the boy’s mother to be embarrassed or to apologize… well, you clearly haven’t spent a lot of time hanging around with hardcore Trump supporters.

According to Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs, the boy’s mother said that her son learned such foul language in “Democratic schools”:

Furthermore, she also said she didn’t have any problems with her son calling the Democratic presidential nominee a “b***h” in public because, hey, who is she to tell him to behave? “I think he has a right to speak what he wants to,” she said, according to Jacobs.

Probably Mom and Dad have said that particular phrase more than once. Kids learn by example and their parents are their most influential teachers.

She doesn't see the harm because it's how she herself was raised, & is now repeating it in the upbringing of her own child. And she blames the democratic school system while participating in a hate filled trump rally with her young son.

It's incredibly sad to think what he might grow up to be with his mothers lack of parenting skills & all he's being exposed to.

I thought the Trumpanzees were complaining about so-called political correctness and were blaming us for them not being able to say words like "bitch". Now they're trying to say that Democrats tell kids to use that word?
