The True Story: Donald Trump Did Not Mock a Reporter’s Disability
Catholics 4 Trump ^ | On July 27, 2016 | Catholics 4 Trump

At the Democratic National Convention speakers are repeating the claim, amplified ad nauseam by the left and establishment GOP opponents over the past year, that Donald Trump mocked the disability of New York Times reporter, Serge Kovaleski. This accusation has served as a very convenient tool to both smear Trump’s character and to avoid having to confront him on substantive political issues. But is it true? Here is the story the media is not telling you.

This is an article from last summer, but it is a nice compilation of videos showing the various times when Donald Trump used the "flailing arms" gesture to mock a variety of individuals - not just the one disabled reporter.

It should be noted that he is shown in one interview flailing his arms - while describing HIMSELF.

I thought everyone already knew this. I guess the 80 year old lady didn’t get the memo or see the clips.

I knew this but hadn’t seen the video that really makes it clear that the spastic movements of flailing arms is Trumps stylized way of showing a person who is lying about not remembering something.

Sixty some million Americans didn’t care if he did or not.

If he was mocking his disability I don’t really care.

“I thought everyone already knew this”

This “story” is further proof that so many of the left are stuck in an echo chamber - where the truth is seldom realized.

Yep. One of the videos at the link is simple and shows three different times he's making the same hand gestures.

Chris Matthews and his guest USA Today’s Heidi Pryzbila? were whining about this. Both ignorant.

If anyone has his e/mail address this link should be sent to him.

Pretty much a re-do of the “Mission Accomplished” imagery that the Democrats hung around George W. Bush’s neck. Still operating from the same playbook.

One of the posters here had a personal story of a convenience store where he delivered that was run by terrorist sympathizers, and he observed them celebrating while watching 9-11.

He said he told his boss and the boss had him immediately remove all of their product from the store and stopped doing business with them.

Can anyone direct me to that post? I can do searches but that one looks to be a little tricky.
