Did Trump really mock reporter's disability? Videos could back him up (He Has One Default Pose)
FoxNews ^ | 9-14-2016 | Fox Staff

Donald Trump, it turns out, is not very good at impressions -- but that could be his alibi against persistent accusations that he mocked a reporter's disability last fall.

Trump’s spastic arm waving at a rally last November while mimicking New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski drew swift condemnation from opponents who claimed Trump was making light of a disability. It's followed him ever since. The Washington Post gave Trump four Pinocchio’s for his denials, and Hillary Clinton used a clip of the impression in a video released Tuesday slamming Trump.

But a pro-Trump, Catholic website has compiled footage appearing to show Trump has a very limited repertoire of impressions -- which the site points to as "evidence" he wasn't mocking the reporter's disability.

View the video above to see a compilation of Trump's impressions.

I think when Mr. Trump imitates liberals, he uses his default, limp-wristed impression. I do something similar, I think we all do. When asked how he performed a very good impression of Al Gore for "The Simpson's," comedian Harry Shearer replied- "It's easy. Gay Robot."

I personally think Trump stole Rush Limbaugh’s “New Castrate” voice and pose for imitating liberals....

The whole thing is BS. It only means they are desperate for something to attack Trump about. They are desperate, and trying to cover Trump with their shame. From the minds of liberals.

Singular mockery of Trump vs. Demonic, murderous, lying B**ch, Hitlery.

Gee, I guess the Media has made their choice as to what they consider more "Presidential"...except that The Hag is demonic, murderous, and a liar 24/7/365 over her entire lifetime.

Fox is out of ideas, so they’re going back to last year to try to take Trump down a peg?

who claimed Trump was making light of a disability. It's followed him ever since.

So why is Fox News still following this?

From now on, mention of it is a political statement.

We would expect from HRC.

Didn’t Treehouse or some similar group give an excellent account of the entire incident in context? And posted here on FR?

"Why bring up some `rat manufactured non-issue from almost a year ago?"

Because it took people a year to correct it. Nothing they have pinned on him so far has stuck. But Hillary can seize up on a public street and they ignore that.

If Trump mocked a New York Times reporter it's hard to feel sad...

These guys buy their ink by the trainload and they're as vile toward traditional Americans as they can be.

The New York Times mocks us every day... they DO see us as 'the deplorables' - the 'crazies'. I don't give a damn about the possibility that Trump ‘hurt the feelings’ of these goons. Eff 'em. If they can dish it out they can just damn well learn to take it.

I still think he imitated his disability.

But the “journalist” is the enemy, regardless of his handicap and he should be treated like dirt by us all. He’s a commie traitor.

I have a physical deformity too, so this is my version of our “n word”. The dude is a worthless cripple.

It’s our enemy and our enemy should be attacked on every chink in their armor.

OK.

APPARENTLY, none of you bothered to read the EXCERPT at the top of this thread, or skimmed it and missed the relevant quote.

Here is the KEY INFORMATION:

" and Hillary Clinton used a clip of the impression in a video released Tuesday slamming Trump. "

The problem with that is that Serge Kovaleski doesn't act anything like that due to his handicap.
