Washington Post: Meryl Streep was right. Donald Trump did mock a disabled reporter
Washington Post ^ | 01/09/2017 | By Callum Borchers

President-elect Donald Trump fired back at Meryl Streep Monday morning after the actress denounced his campaign rhetoric during a speech at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night. Streep ripped Trump for his obvious mockery of a journalist's physical disability in late 2015, and Trump responded by once again denying that he meant to make fun of the reporter's condition.

As I've written before, Trump's defense simply isn't believable. Kovaleski, who covered Trump long before the real estate mogul entered politics, has said that "Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years." Trump was undoubtedly aware of Kovaleski's disability.

Trump apologists such as Ann Coulter have claimed that he has mocked other, non-disabled people in exactly the same fashion — supposedly proving that he was not imitating Kovaleski — but their assertions are not supported by video evidence (more on that here). Trump's impression of Kovaleski was unique and clearly specific to him.

Let’s see, here. Ted Cruz, a banker, a General, and reporter. Only one cat disabled. Nice try, WaPo. Try again.

No, we should not let this go. This is actually the perfect example of a media smear. Let’s use this to bury them with it. George W. let a big lie go regarding Iraq, and he paid dearly for it. Let’s not let this lie stand.

This false accusation from a Hollywood wench who doesn’t have the courage to name Mr. Trump in her remarks, but hides her evil intent behind some sort of hoped-for anonymity

Sadly this has become deliberate Leftist strategy.

Pick out the most severely disabled a-hole they can, and make him the attack dog.

RE: Quit pushing fake news here.

The fact that I posted the newspaper’s name on the title should already serve as a warning to you. Are you so sensitive that you need a “safe space”?

As I've written before, Trump's defense simply isn't believable.

Not only is Trump's defense believable, it's factually based and thoroughly documented.

The comPost is simply perpetuating another convenient but utterly refuted Trump-hating myth, as most anyone who has really looked into this false accusation knows already...

If anything in my space becomes unsafe, believe me when I tell you that I will make it safe.

So, seeing as you know that WaPoo is a known fake news source, why are you posting it here, and then arguing in defense of what it posted?

Can’t get rid of your TDS can you? You were one of the worst sufferers during the primaries and the run up to the election. Very well documented in your posting history. If the Washington Post is your moral compass, then you have no compass.

Meryl Streep accused Donald Trump of inciting violence and disrespect.
Meryl Streep stood up and cheered a convicted — and admitted — child rapist Roman Polanski. Here is a screenshot of Meryl Streep applauding the child rapist Roman Polanski, who admitted to this violent act. You can watch Hollywood standing for the rapist in the video below. Streep is at 1:10

RE: Can’t get rid of your TDS can you?

I just posted what a columnist in Washington Post SAID. How is that TDS?

RE: You were one of the worst sufferers during the primaries and the run up to the election.

With one exception — I VOTED FOR TRUMP. So what’s your problem?

RE: You were one of the worst sufferers during the primaries and the run up to the election.

Posting what the WApO said (and indicating it clearly on the title ) is now equivalent to making it my moral compass? Is that what you learned in logic school? What about posting what LIBERALS SAID so that people like you can refute them? Has that possibility not even crossed your mind?

In your personal moral compass, this forum should only be filled with posts that are complimentary to Trump. If so, then you are no better than any college kid who demands a “safe space”.
