Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump paused his campaign rally Monday in South Carolina to make sure a woman who had fainted during his speech was OK.
The crowd told Trump an audience member needed a medic.
“Oh go ahead, take that. That’s more important than all of this,” he said, gesturing to someone off stage. “Hopefully they’re OK.”
Trump asked how the audience member was doing.
“Oh, she just fainted,” Trump said. “You know what? That means she was excited.”
Trump said that he loved the audience member and again hoped she was OK.
“Those are my best fans,” Trump added. “The ones that faint I love the most.”
CNN host Anderson Cooper tweeted about the incident:
