The US Secret Service took a woman into custody after she reportedly spit on Eric Trump at the Aviary cocktail bar in Chicago in what the president’s son called a “disgusting act.”
The woman, believed to be a bar employee, was later released.
The Chicago Police Department confirmed it was on the scene “assisting the United States Secret Service with a law enforcement matter.”

“It was purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems,” Eric Trump told Breitbart News. “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.”
According to sources reported by Breitbart, the woman approached Trump as he entered the bar in a group before muttered something believed to be anti-Trump and spitting at him.
Trump later posted a Socrates quote to Instagram that read, “When debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers.”
