With as much tact as could be mustered in such an awkward situation, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump asked the mother of a crying baby to “get the baby out of here.”

… and the media went nuts.

After joking that he doesn’t mind a baby crying at a campaign rally Tuesday, telling the crowd how much he loves babies, the GOP nominee went on to gently tell the mother: “I was only kidding. You can get the baby out of here.”

Among those who jumped on the chance to slam Trump for ejecting babies instead of kissing them was none other than Planned Parenthood … but the nation’s largest provider of abortions clearly didn’t think this through:

Add babies to the list of people @realDonaldTrump would kick out of his campaign rallies. https://t.co/UaqVpv35bd

Having sufficiently set themselves up for the kill — pardon the pun — social media users happily obliged, led by conservative talk show host Dana Loesch.

Here’s a sampling of the responses from Twitter:

At least they leave his rallies alive. They never leave your clinics alive, do they? https://t.co/FlFpBBRwWt

Did you let him know that you guys have a much more efficient way of getting rid of babies? https://t.co/hkm8g31dAh

WOW. That is an almost shocking lack of self-awareness. https://t.co/lMhc16lv8b

@PPact @realDonaldTrump @ABCPolitics Are you positively shitting me? Trust me: Stay away from pretending to defend babies.

Wait, doesn’t he have a choice if he doesn’t want the baby? https://t.co/GNvUj7ADOY

How the f**k can you say this when you evict babies from wombs and slaughter them? @PPact https://t.co/JUuQBwXcOp

@PPact @realDonaldTrump @ABCPolitics your joking right? You dismember 1800 babies a day. Shut up. You don’t get to talk about babies

— Mathew S Harrison (@MathewSHarrison) August 2, 2016

Please tell me more about how much you care about babies. https://t.co/m62XxZskPj

@alwaysonoffense @PPact most absurd tweet straight from the exterminators. They know all about kicking babies out…of their mom’s wombs.

@PPact your audacity is breathtaking. Much like how you cut out the lungs of babies and sell them.

@PPact @realDonaldTrump Guess you guys missed one.
