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."

I gotta admit I don’t think I could take 8 years of this crap with Trump and the media and the back and forth - it is exhausting to listen too.

Oh hell yeah; especially after we’ve had 8 years of total peace and harmony in our nation, and our souls, with Barack Obama.

Suggestion: Perhaps watching Dear Leader on U-tubes will soothe the edges Trump creates...just a thought...

I’m hoping he’ll find 50 ways to sue them into the abyss for their slander

I certainly hope not the NYT's falls into an abyss...

Millions of libtards will no longer know what to bitch about daily...they will walk around NYC mumbling incoherent rambling...

O' wait, probably not much difference

BTW, under what laws can Trump sue the NYT's for slander...?

Well, you are all right. I wish the parties would take a step back and just focus on the policy but I can see this will never happen with either Cruz, Rubio or Trump.

I like it at the media knows with Trump they mean almost zilch. They are doing their best to dig up anything that will stop him. We know this clown was never on TV with his disabilities, and; his BS about covering Trump does not mean he ever met Trump. I have never seen the guy on TV period. Has anyone ever seen the disabled one before the last few days?

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.

It’ll be worth listening to Rush on Monday. Deja vu all over again for him.

Just watched the Trump video again and in no way is that an imitation of a crippled person. What is happening is that people are isolating a second of time in which his right arm comes up to chest level and then freezing it. But the video shows both hands flying around in comic fluster and embarrassment.

Brit Hume who is pushing this should be ashamed of himself.

I’d be willing to give Trump 2 yr. at the helm.

Sue them for libel!

They also are trying to deny the fact that Muslims in New Jersey were celebrating when the twin towers went down - when in fact, they were. The Times just didn't want to report it.

Had they searched on the Internet, they would have found the story; but they are a propaganda outfit with an agenda, not a news agency.

“Gov. Susana Martinez of NM for VP”


Ok, I’ve seen this before and have asked before, but I’ll ask again...why? I’m not from NM and admittedly, don’t know much about her other than her name being floated previously. Why would she be a good VP (they’re a heartbeat away from the Presidency)? What has she accomplished? What battles has she won? Or are we just checking boxes (female, Latino, etc.)? I’m not saying she isn’t a good governor, she may be the best one out there, but we don’t need boxes checked, we need dooers that will get things done and turn this ship around. It’s not going to happen in four years, it will take a generation, but it’s got to start soon...real soon.

Well at lest Trump fights back. You have to fight back.

Media sniping and propaganda is endless, but when one candidate fights back its the candidates fault. Amazing!

Americans are way to sanitized.

******************

Law suit won’t happen, imo. But Trump knows how to use these events/happens
to produce media exposure which is hard to get otherwise.

What's Pink Floyd have to do with being the VP?

Serge has probably made fun of Donald’s hair at some point in his reporting.

But the interesting thing is will he do it anyway? Just the threat will have their panties in a wad and they will be scrambling to not have any of it to go forward. The other thing is he is not an elected official, yet, and is still a private citizen.
