Fox News’ veteran anchor Brit Hume has been no fan of the Donald, and tonight he tweeted out a little jab at his followers too:
Trumpkins' reaction to claim he didn't know reporter he mocked proves Lincoln right: You really can fool some of the people all of the time
11:15 PM - 26

Exactly. We now live in the age of the perpetually offended minority (a product of political correctness run rampant). Today, you must always carefully structure what you want to say before saying is so you don't offend some person of minority.
Barack Hussein Mohammed (peas be upon him) solves the problem by having his trusted friend TOTUS at his side for every public appearance.
Trump doesn't. But if he did, people would be slamming him for that.
I am NOT a whatever the name of the day Trump supporter. However, with each attack, I’m thinking if he’s hated that much, maybe he’s just what we need as a President.
However, I don’t think there’s even the slightest chance of him being the GOPe nominee. Rules will be broken, a Convention walkout is possible and physical attacks are not outside the realm of possibility.
We have forgotten Reagan’s 11th Commandment: Thou shall not attack Republicans. Save the attacks for the RATs.
Brit Hume, I used to respect you quite a great amount.
I don’t anymore. In fact I not longer even watch your news channel, because you are all AGAINST TRUMP.
Maroon.
(I mean that with the utmost respect)
Why don't you post a link to a video of this reporter. All I've seen is a still photograph, which really isn't helpful.
Trump is mocking the intellectually dishonest weaseling of the reporter.
Anyone who refuses to see that is ... weird.
Whether his portrayal is of an idiot in general or this specific idiot is open to dispute I suppose.
Wasn’t it Barnum that said “you can fool some of the people...” Etc?
Since when did imitating a retard become verboten? It was and is fair game as an insult to those who are normal but stupid.
....proves Lincoln right: You really can fool some of the people all of the time.

MISQUOTE: If Hume said that, then he’s an idiot. That is NOT what Lincoln said. He said: “You can fool some of the people SOME of the time....”
‘It’d be interesting to see reactions here in FReeperland if Rubio or Carson had done that impersonation of the reporter.’
We’d never know it happened. The MSM is trying to destroy Trump, not the others.
I read a story that years ago Trump sent his plane to transport a sick child across the country to a specialty hospital. He never mentions this in his speeches nor will the LSM hacks now mention it.
As Lenny Bruce said: All goys in NY are Jews and all Jews in Shebogan are goys. The Donald is hilariously funny in the NY way and all the folks who bash him have a humor-deficit.
Making fun of Serge Brokedick?
“Tell me that any of you would stand in front of a crowd is people and willingly and knowingly make fun of someone with a physical handicap.”
I just now saw that on the news (Today show). Trump says he didn’t know about the disability, I have seen people gesticulate like that when modeling hysterical behavior. I just noticed on another thread here that Brit Hume basically called Trump supporters idiots or some such based on that event. In other words, Hume is doing what he condemns Trump for doing.
I am not a Carson fan, but the claim he compared Syrian refugees to dogs is also a lie.
“Today” also just reported that the claim Muslims celebrated 9/11 “has been debunked”. No, that is another lie. They also celebrated here in my home town, at a particular place of business that I have refused to ever enter again.
It is strange how people on this site can chime in with the New York Times and the MSM with their spin, people that would ridicule any poster here as mentally handicapped.
Then why did he distort himself almost exactly like the guys physical and voice appearance?
Have you ever seen him do that before?
I am trying to understand why you just don’t “see†what is obvious. If your response is, “Yeah, he went over the line...but I can overlook that, I guess I could respect it. But the endorsement of making fun of crippled people—no matter their political status, is just....crass, low class, and not Presidential.

None of the 10,000 people at that rally thought to themselves...Trump just made fun of a disabled person.
Standard play from the MSM playbook. Trump made a legitimate criticism of the journalists weasley comments. The media has no legitimate counter to Trump’s criticism, so they try to make “how he said it”, the issue. That way they can change the subject and avoid addressing “what he said”. We’ve seen this play countless times.
The “media” would be feasting on whomever the leader is... not just Trump.
Lol....que the ‘lighten up, Francis’ guy!
_Clearly you’ve never watched Morning Joe, (not that I would blame you), but they are an hour infomercial for the trump candidacy every morning. Seriously. I wonder why that is. I suspect they’d love to see how this boorish, sophomoric gaffe king would play in a general election. He’s the only republican candidate that could actually do the impossible: make Hillary look presidential.

Untrue, Mika is bashing Trump now, Halperin & mosts of the guests have major disdain for Trump. In no way is it an infomercial.
I describe it as passionate and descriptive. The use of “poetic license” in order to drive home a point.
Was he ridiculing the reporter? Yes he was but as far as I am concerned it was because of his refusing to acknowledge his own writing. He was trying to hide and Trump brought the focus dead on the guy.The NYT piece was simply an attempt to shift focus away from the reporter’s failure and direct it to Trump.
Problem is Trump refuses to play by the liberal media rules.
As for Hume, unless he has some evidence Trump was aware of the reporters disability he should immediately apologize.
