After suffering an unexpected defeat in Iowa, Donald Trump has picked up the pieces and is steamrolling through New Hampshire in his usual brash manner in an attempt to win its February 9 primary.
At an event in Exeter, New Hampshire, when a woman shouted out that illegal immigrants are the backbone of the United States, he shot back, “I don’t think so, darling.”
Fox 25 Boston Politics editor Sharman Sacchetti tweeted:

Here’s the exact exchange between Trump and the heckler, via “Fox & Friends”:
“Illegal immigrants are the backbone of our country? I don’t think so, darling.” @realDonaldTrumphttps://t.co/gW04VWmHrP

That exchange was preceded by a woman who said she was from California and who also objected to Trump’s position on illegal immigration.
“I know the role that they have in the California and national economy because they do work that no one else wants to do and for a lot less.”
“Who told you to be here? Bernie?” he asked, referring to independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist.
