Viewers were left confused when President Donald Trump‘s son, Eric Trump, said on Fox News that he was “part of the LGBT community.” Eric, 36, was asked on the September 29 episode of Fox & Friends about a lesbian New Yorker who supports his father’s presidential campaign.
He responded, “I’m telling you, I see it every day, the LGBT community, they are incredible and you should see how they’ve come out in full force for my father every single day.
I’m part of that community and we love the man and thank you for protecting our neighborhoods and thank you for protecting our cities.” That gave viewers pause: did Eric just come out as a member of the LGBTQ community, or did he simply misspeak?
