GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he does not know the disabled New York Times reporter he is accused of mocking.
"I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovaleski is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence," Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday. "I don't know if he's J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime--or somebody of less athletic or physical ability."
Trump cited an article written by Kovaleski in 2001, when he wrote for The Washington Post, that appeared to corroborate the businessman's story of seeing Arab-Americans in New Jersey celebrating as the World Trade Center towers came down.
After Kovaleski, who suffers from a chronic condition that impairs the movement of his arms, went on CNN to renounce the report, Trump appeared to mimic the journalist on stage at a South Carolina rally.
"Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy: 'Uhh, I don't know what I said. I don't remember.' He's going, 'I don't remember. Maybe that's what I said,' " Trump said at the rally, flailing his arms as he imitated Kovaleski. "That was 14 years ago--they didn't issue a retraction."
The New York Times said it is "outrageous" that Trump would "ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters."
But Trump now claims that he has no idea what Kovaleski looks like.

Then get ready for Hillary, your Carson can’t win.
Is Irene Japanese for Eileen ?
This is war. You know it is.
Trump is not a child. He is a warrior.
But that said, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
And best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Makes me want to vote for him more. I’m so sick of walking on eggshells all the time and I’m especially tired of the victim class and the perpetually offended.
There’s a big difference between being “PC” and just being mean. For example, leftists can be very mean, but that doesn’t make them PC.
If Trump truly was mocking the reporter, then he was just being mean, not to mention hurting his own campaign.
The question is, was he really mocking a disability? Or did it just come across that way? It sure looks as if he’s mocking a disability, but maybe not...
Hillary has a track record.
Hillarys a dangerous POS.
Hillary has gotten people KILLED
Freegards
He doesn’t seem to be having any trouble grasping that glass of beer or whatever it is.
Anyway, the `goo goos’ lecture us when we call him “disabled”. Disabled people are “people with disabilities”. OK?
Disability: a physical condition that limits a person’s movements.
If he can swig a beer and swing a hatchet on conservatives like Sarah Palin, then he can KMA.
But he doesn’t have to when you are carrying water for them.
I will applaud if he takes on Hillary...as long as he stays on message. Good grief...both she and Sanders have a treasure trove of issues. Even I could make mincemeat of them.
But if Trump goes personal (which I think he already has), no, I won’t be applauding.
Look at the long stream of smear tactics the so called journalist keeps tweeting. He is scum on the bottom of the pond.
FYI, this is the second time you said you were “done with the thread”-—yet here you are.
Berdie, she is also liar and that joker journalist is also liar. So you like mocking woman. No respect for her, she was cheated by her husband, cranky voice (disability), dishonest (disability) .
So its okay to make fun of woman, not a man.
So it seems that Trump bought into it.
That particular scumbag was Joe McGinniss, who has gone to meet the Devil. He is roasting in the depths of the Sloar as we write.
==================
Serge Kovaleski was sent by the NY Times to Alaska to stalk Sarah Palin in Wasilla for months to trash her and her family.
Kovaleski and the NYT have use his handicapped status as an intimidation tactic and it's fair payback by Trump.

==================
Serge and his lying NY Times buddies did a separate stalking - they SAID they chased down her hairdresser [apparently a lie] and made up a "quote" by the hairdresser:
Looking but can’t find the video of Obama at a campaign rally mimicking McCain’s walk.
What “evidence”????A “screen shot” showing Trump in motion which can be edited anyway you like. BULLS___!
Time to end this PC talk and speak the truth.
The truth isn't mean, but it does hurt our sensitive widdle feelings.
The time for feelings has passed.
The country, indeed, the world, is at war. F*ck feelings.
We are surrounded by our enemies...who cares about your feelings.
He was not. You are as bad as the nyt.
MeshugeMikey, well this joker journalist had track record of chasing Palin, and mocking others. He is dishonest, liar. making excuse and trying to get away because he is physically disable and trying to get sympathy from gullible.
Poor Hillary, who also liar, cheated by her husband etc.
Why no sympathy for Hillary? Why hatred is only for her?
What difference does it make, your punching guy is Trump.
No, it seems you bought into it. :)
