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.

[SNIP]

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.

RE: Who is Kovaleski? I never heard of him.

That’s what Donald Trump said as well.

More Fake News from the king of Fake News, Washington Post. Here is the definition of arthrogryposis: "abnormal fibrosis of the muscle tissue causing muscle shortening, and therefore active extension and flexion in the affected joint or joints cannot be performed".

The WaPo described Trump's motion as spastic. Spastic means: "a series of involuntary, rhythmic, muscular contractions and relaxations." This is the exact OPPOSITE of the condition Kovaleski has.

WaPo then showed an animated gif which exaggerates the limited motion actually in Kovaleski's hand. That's simply more fake news from WaPo, and is a bald faced lie.

More distortions from the yellow rag of record. The compost is truly a crime against nature. That even one diseased sapling is cut to make paper for this uncivil worthless rag is an abomination.

If you know this is fake news, then you should continue to trust the new President. But I wish you would not follow the example of liberals and ascribe sinister motives to your fellow FReeper.

The "Trump mocked disabled reporter" story is a WaPo fake news™ story that was designed to deflect from documented refutation of an earlier WaPo fake news™ story that Trump was lying when he talked about people in Jersey City celebrating the Twin Towers crashing.

It's fake news™ from top to bottom at WaPo.

BTW, I'm writing this as a long-time Trump critic who voted against both Clinton and Trump. As a political skeptic, neither conservative nor progressive, I reckon that the disinformation and outright BS coming from Trump opponents is at least an order of magnitude greater than Trump's BS. I still don't trust Trump, but I am growing to dislike and distrust the Trump-haters far more than Trump.

Leftists are bullies; therefore, leftists are cowards.

(Notice elsewhere how the four blacks ganged up on the lone disabled white boy.)

The Knockout Game is nothing but cowardly intimidation and injury.
