Trump lands in new controversy over breast-feeding comments

WASHINGTON

Republican Donald Trump on Wednesday pushed back against a lawyer he had berated when she requested a break to pump breast milk for her then-infant daughter, the latest controversial remark to emerge in his presidential campaign.

Trump did not deny getting angry and calling the woman "disgusting" in 2011 but lashed back after reports of the incident emerged late on Tuesday.

Miami-based lawyer Elizabeth Beck was questioning the wealthy developer and television personality in a Florida real estate case when she asked for the break, according to court testimony first reported by the New York Times.

Trump abruptly ended the deposition and questioned his own lawyer's request for a bathroom break, according to the testimony.

No joke. His base will eat this up. Let's see, Trump berated a lawyer because she wanted a break from business to pump breast milk. She is probably a feminist, too.

The GOP Neanderthals will love it.

reverberate to Election Day. And there's seemingly nothing the Republican's can do to mitigate the damage he'll cause them.
