Trump demands NY Times apologize for accusation
WND ^ | 45 mins ago | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 11/27/2015 4:33:26 AM PST by GonzoII

Donald Trump, leading Republican candidate for president, took his spat with the New York Times to the next level, doubling down on his denial of mocking a handicapped reporter and then demanding the newspaper apologize for accusing him of doing so.

In tweets sent out Thanksgiving Day, Trump said once again he didn't poke fun of Serge Kovaleski, a New York Times journalist who suffers from arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that restricts the movements of his arms.

His campaign first opened with this clarification: "Donald J. Trump today demanded an apology fro the failing New York Times which accused him (during a major speech before 10,000 people in Myrtle Beach, SC) of mocking a reporter's physical disability when in fact, Mr. Trump does not know anything about the reporter or anything about what the reporter looks like. He was merely mocking the fact that the reporter was trying to pull away from a story that he wrote 14 years ago."

“Gov. Susana Martinez of NM for VP”
Would she support The Wall?

Not sure. When she comes over for Sunday dinner, I’ll ask her.

He is not a public figure either. He has no connection to the public other than his celebrity and that is wholly a position of a private businessman. He is not beholden to the public.

So you are now defending Rosie O’Donnell? You’re a joke. And Fiorini is an irritating woman who is going no where in the polls.

Funny how you read defense of either into that, but accuse me of reading too much into what he said/did. All I did was state the fact he's got a history of commenting on appearance. That's undeniable.

Ignorant sycophants with tunnel vision like you are the real joke. You're just as bad as the Obama-bots of 2008 - buying into hype and platitudes.

Ok, Rosie-Lover! I suppose you think she’s right that Bush blew up the Twin Towers as well?

Me, ignorant? You’re out of your league, boy.

“I just smh how some freepers are defending an anti-conservative nyt reporter.”

You have mistaken a sense of what is decent and appropriate for defending the reporter. I dont mind Trump attacking people but he should do it in a mature manner, not like a classless jerk.

If all you can infer is I’m somehow a Rosie supporter based on what I said, you’re correct.....we’re not in the same league.

You’re in some trash-strewn alley playing stickball. I’m in Chavez Ravine.

Folks, here’s a video of this reporter, where you can clearly see his hand:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN_xYRgOm94

As you can see, his fingers move around but the hand stays immobile pressed against his torso. By no means, does he lift his hands up to flail them around his head like Trump did in his speech. It doesn’t even look to me like he could physically do what Trump did. His other arm seems fine, although you can’t see that hand.

The press keeps using a still screenshot of Trump while his wrist was bent and moving to give the false impression that he was holding his hand like this reporter’s. I would encourage everyone to actually watch this reporter and compare what you see to what Trump did and then decide for yourselves. Trump too, imo, should release a short, fair-use clip of the reporter so people can draw their own conclusions.

Considering the 'journalist' is a documented liar, I've got one thing to say...

Hi Five, Serge!

Well, this will keep him in the news...again.

It's positively symphonic. One by one he's defusing the Cultural Marxist IEDs.

You’re not a Rosie supporter? You could have fooled me!

I see the Cruz supporters are starting to play really nasty now. As always, the supporters are so much worse than the candidate.

I see a media alliance forged in hell.

All you’ve got is your hackneyed Rosie fixation. You’re the one note tune in your candidate’s one song band.

If you don’t want to be laughed at, don’t bring up her name on FR. It was a ridiculous name to bring up in the context of the thread.

Yes, of course, you’re right. They’re isolating a second of the video and freezing it - how Alinsky! But that’s how primaries go around here and in the larger world. Lies and more lies.

If you don’t want to be laughed at, don’t fall back on indefensible, ridiculous conclusions when someone points out weaknesses in your argument.

“Love how conservatives go wobbly after what? 3 months of fighting off the media. This is a long war. If you want peace, vote for Hillary. But that peace comes with a very big price tag.”

You speak the truth. 90% of this war is waking up the sheeple and making them aware of how much they are being lied to on a daily basis. Great post!
