Lost me right there. He wasn't making fun of a handicapped man. He was making fun of a leftist reporter who denied what he himself had reported. The fact that Sowell repeats this leftist meme shows he's not thinking about the issue.
He was mocking the man’s handicap. If he wanted to criticize what the man said, he could have done that without mocking the man’s disability.
I want to comment on this too, I believe Trump did mock a handicap, but it was to a reporter who had confronted him. Trump does not take confrontation and ignore it. However, I am tired of the poisoning of the atmosphere every time a sensitivity is not observed. Where has political correctness taken our society? Now we have to be non-offensive to partisans in our midst who secretly work to undermine our society and convert our freedom because it offends them to see how we live and what we eat.
Trump is getting our support because this has gone too far. To paraphrase Marilyn Vos Savant, “Political sensitivity is about trying to be aware of and not offend the feelings of those who are around you. Political correctness is when you really believe all that cr*p”.
