Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled reporter
BBC ^ | 4 hours ago, 2015-11-26 | BBC

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".

The original Washington Post article by Mr Kovaleski said that authorities in Jersey City "detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river".

Since Trump's claims about Muslim Americans celebrating 9/11, the reporter has said he does "not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating".

---------

The press has lied, because Trump never said there were thousands or hundreds of Muslims celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center. He only used an analogy to indicate the term "tailgate" used by the The Washing post reporters signified there were far more than two such Muslim celebrants.

Why doesn’t trump just stop with the mocking and move on in a more appropriate manner. Like a gentleman, for example.

I watched the video and Trump was not mocking his disability in any way, what he was mocking was the reporters perceived apoplectic denials wen put on the record.

Geez, what a pantload we hear from the Brits! You know, the people who have no-go zones for the police in Muslim neighborhoods!

Frank “dead rat head” Luntz and others have said they have found that NOTHING will dissuade Trump supporters. This time we will not be fooled into nominating the candidate they pick for us and they are beginning to understand that.

I don’t think he was mocking the guy. I mean he wrote the article 14 years ago and I doubt Trump knows him. Trump was just waving his arms around to act like a hysterical liberal. Common motion most people do when describing something crazy. NYT grasping for straws.

I looked at the clip and it is apparent that Trump is mocking him for disowning something he wrote and published in 2001 and is now claiming didn't happen. A physical disability doesn't give someone a license to lie.

Does the New York Slimes seriously think Trump is familiar with every disability of ever one of their two bit reporters?

Poor liberal crybaby media can dish it out but they can’t take it?

Their thin skins can’t take criticism. Sucks to be them.

Trump is not going to lose votes by attacking the New York Times.

“This time we will not be fooled into nominating the candidate they pick for us and they are beginning to understand that.”

I'm sure the GOPe will still do its utmost to fix the nomination. If so, they are going to have to do it through voter fraud. No way would anyone with a brain cell vote for Yeb or whoever the GOP hierarchy tries to force down our throats.
