A Republican candidate's bid for the White House has got off to a rocky start after his pregnant wife collapsed during his campaign launch and he failed to rush to her side.
Rollan Roberts II, a local businessman, later published the video of his speech but edited it to remove the bit where he stood and watched as others went to help his collapsed wife.
The presidential hopeful was several minutes into his speech at the West Virginia State Capitol in Charleston, US, when Rebecca Lea Roberts began to stumble before falling and taking out an American flag.
