“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 Communications Director tweeted out a short statement about the incident directing all inquiries to the Secret Service:
