Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has been criticised for mocking a disabled New York Times reporter.
Mr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally.
He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.
The New York Times called Mr Trump's actions "outrageous".

People that think Donald Trump is a liar or someone who embellishes have their heads up their ass:

“Give examples of his embellishment.”
1) Recent Crime evaluation that 81% of Whites are murdered by blacks. As well as that came from a non-existent company (Crime Statistic Bureau - San Fransisco)
2) Trump and Putin got to know each other very well. An exaggeration. He sat down with Putin for slightly over five minutes total. In a green room. Not a heck of a lot of bonding time.
3) His claim that we are taking in 250,000 refugees. Not even close. 10,000 (which in my mind is 9,999 1/2 too many) is the total over the year.
There are three for you. Again, I wouldn’t say he lies. He exaggerates a truth that is out there. He weaves a great tale. It’s entertaining to watch. I think it is starting to hurt him because he has ramped up his rhetoric and is being called out by almost all news outlets. Let’s face it, when almost all sources gang up on someone, people tend to follow suit. It becomes the “Walks like a Duck. Talks like a duck. Must be a duck.”. Quack.
‘One retired FBI agent says Donald Trump’s claims of seeing Muslim celebrations following the attacks on 9-11 are absolutely plausible.
Jim Burkett was an assistant special agent in charge with the FBI’s office in Boston during 9-11 and afterward. He says during that time the office received tons of phone calls from people who feared more attacks and others reporting suspicious activity.
Many of those calls, said Burkett, came from concerned and angry Americans reporting Muslims celebrating over the destruction of the twin towers and damage to the Pentagon. The calls were logged, reports were made and there were “stacks and stacks†of them, he said.
Burkett says somebody in the office began labeling them ‘Happy Muslim Calls’. Most of the calls he said were deemed unimportant and the agency didn’t see fit to initiate investigations.
But the retired agent says even though video of celebrations following 9-11 is hard to find, he says it means Trump’s claims are highly plausible.’

This is where credible validation will be - LEO and local TV stations.
Most of those are embellishments from the Media not Trump.
Do some research.
I listed three that are very easily googled or binged. Do your own research and you will be able to see the speech and the quotes where he said the three I listed.
Since most of the media have disabilities of conscience their outrage is selective.
I’ll take you at your word.
My apologies.
Patrick Kiernan: “They were celebrating all around the area of the mosque on Getty Ave in Paterson. You can't tell me they weren't because I lived there when It happened and I observed the clashes in the city at the time. There may be no visual proof but I remember the police went on the news and asked the citizens not to retaliate against any of the Muslim citizens in the city and that just emboldened them even more to be spiteful and full of their hate. Don't say it didn't happen because it did.”
This supports the one report I sow on TV at the time. After that MSM reported worries about a Muslim Backlash that never happened.
New Yorkism. He wasn’t actually calling them stupid. Like haven’t you asked someone, “Are you crazy?” Obviously his Iowa numbers are back up.
1) Recent Crime evaluation that 81% of Whites are murdered by blacks. As well as that came from a non-existent company (Crime Statistic Bureau - San Fransisco)
Reading lefty propaganda are we? Did you note that it was a retweet of what others are saying? And did you know the originating tweeter garbled the fake source CSB for the CDC which reported the numbers that Trump retweeted?
Perhaps you can get a paying job with #blacklivesmatter? They are looking for people like you. Because what you parrot comes straight out of their book.
So you read lefty sites and think what they say and twist is truth. Shame on you.
2) Trump and Putin got to know each other very well. An exaggeration. He sat down with Putin for slightly over five minutes total. In a green room. Not a heck of a lot of bonding time.
Again you are parroting lefty talking points. You are revealing who and what you are. Thank you.
3) His claim that we are taking in 250,000 refugees. Not even close. 10,000 (which in my mind is 9,999 1/2 too many) is the total over the year.
And yet again. The reports of internal discussions were of an order of magnitude of 250,000 and that was quickly covered up when it was leaked. But you are quick to discount Trump’s sources. He heard it from reliable people in his inner circle so he didn’t embellish anything. The Obama people were talking to the UN and to others about 250,000. When they saw it leaked and a backlash was forming, they changed it to a much smaller number but you ate it up didn’t you? It’s still 250,000 but the leak is contained.
Did you know that Obama was planning to grant amnesty to as many as 34 Million illegals? Is that a rumor? No, it’s not. It was posted here on FR last year with a reference to a government website and there was no misunderstanding because the order for 34,000,000 security featured hologram cards was described as expected for Obama’s illegal pending immigration reform that was done without Congressional approval. This example shows you that the Obama people don’t do small, they do big as in VERY BIG.
As you see or can sense, I am not impressed with your research skills nor your inference ability.
If you had shown a reputable non-left wing reference like the CDC citing statistics that were completely out of kilter with Donald’s retweet of someone else’s tweet, then I would have joined you in the sentiment that Donald needed to be more careful of who and what he retweeted. But the CDC reported the same statistics. And he retweeted some bad info on Ben Carson but he added that it was disturbing IF TRUE meaning it wasn’t verified. But it gave Carson a chance to rebut the tweet but not before the lefty’s had a celebratory circle jerk of Donald’s ‘lie’ when in fact it was no lie at all but rather a retweet that Donald said was disturbing IF TRUE.
So if you want to be sincere, I suggest you wait to get clear on the facts first. You may need to wait a day or two or three before the lefty lies are exposed.
But for now, you need to do better.
IOW, a typical lib.
Why do I think Dhimmy when I read “DrJimmy”????
LOL!
I thought it read "Dummy"!
This is the typical FR answer to everything! As soon as you ask someone to prove something and they do, that person is a freaken liberal. Absolutely P1sses me off. You are the freaken Liberal, God Hating Donkey. Not me! You know how I know that? Cause you can’t google a damned thing. You asked me to do something, I did it. Each and every example is VERY easily proven that Trump said literally that and it was exaggerated. Not a lie, mind you. Exaggerated. You immediatley go for the baby-girl answer.
YOU MUST BE A LIBERAL!
You know literally nothing about me. You do not know my past. You do not have any idea who I am or what I do. You sir or madam, are absolutely lame and not worth five minutes more of my time.
Everything you listed was straight off of lefty websites. Websites that are known for consistent lies and twists on the truth had the stories you listed.
You had your chance and you showed what and who you are.
Now go away and don’t post to me anymore.
Haaaaa!!!
You do make me laugh. After numerous emails warning me of your standards on this forum, I’ve calmed down.
As for everything coming from “Liberal MSM”, you are wrong. It came from numerous sites. All quotes.
You just throw out asinine jabs with no basis whatsoever. No facts. No quotes. Nothing. Just slander.
You are a meaningless troll. Nothing to do but name call. Zero substance.
Happy Thanksgiving troll.
“Shoot my mouth off”? What are you talking about? Because I said I like Trump but don’t think making fun of handicapped people is a good idea? I didn’t attack Trump or say he was totally disqualified for President or anything of the sort.That’s shooting my mouth off? Sheesh. Lighten up Francis. When others pointed out that it is likely Trump was not ridiculing the man’s handicap, I immediately said, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong and I stand corrected. How about trying some reasoned dialogue. Don’t address other FReepers with such appalling hostility if they happen to make a mistake.
You obviously don’t heed your own advice.
Did you see Trump’s letter that came out yesterday?
Trump never knew this reporter. He never knew his condition and his body language was of a reporter who after 14 years and no retraction all of a sudden wants to take back a paragraph he wrote about Muslim tailgate parties.
So what you’ve done is show shallow foolishness by joining with the media morons who once again attempt to find fault in Donald Trump only to have it thrown back in their faces.
You took to the keyboard without engaging any brain activity. That makes you someone to be ashamed of, a part of a fool’s lynch mob that are so stupid they end up lynching themselves.
You joined in with the morons saying Trump attacked a handicapped person.
If you’re wrong, then say you’re wrong and stop whining.
A word of advice, get your facts straight before jumping in with the wrong crowd.
I’m impressed with your insult skills. /sarc
What about reports that the reporter covered Trump for several years and therefore, Trump does know him and knows he has this handicap?
Who reported the reports about the reporter reporting on Trump?
Another reporter?
