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.
Trumps 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 Pinocchios 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.

If you are vindicated, and it takes a year to do so, shout the vindication. Conservatives actually care about their honor, whereas liberals have the memory hole to dump their flaws. Hillary just wants her foibles and crimes to go away. The internet has made it possible to make sure nothing ever goes away.
If Trump is ignoring it, not allowing it to `stick’ so to speak—as so many here have been urging him to do with these things the rats constantly throw against the wall—then why shouldn’t we?
This has been chewed and re-chewed.
Why give them more re-play, why re-publish these calumnies here on Free Republic? Fox can GTH.
That doesn't preclude him from having mocked two different people at the same rally.
If true, it would be even more proof that he wasn't picking on Kovaleski's handicap.
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 one of their goons.
Eff 'em.
If they can dish it out they can just damn well learn to take it. He wasn't insulting all people with disabilities - he was insulting this one jerk. Cry me a river.
“The internet has made it possible to make sure nothing ever goes away.”
Let it go Bruce.
The New York Times accepts ANY lie that drops from the mouth of a Clinton... because that’s one more way they show contempt for us. If we were to do the same, would that show our contempt FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES? You betcha...
Not that we should be as vile as they are... but every now and then it might be fun...
“Eff ‘em.”
Agreed. I have no sympathy for traitors.
Because FR is a debate forum, and we debate the latest news articles.
This is a news article and is referring to a year old incident, BUT, it is news because Hillary Clinton(deceased)'s Campaign staff brought it up again THIS TUESDAY, and the Catholic Church came up with a rebuttal.
This might interest those who are Catholic. It might interest those who are handicapped. It might even interest those who are interested in the TRUTH.
If you don't wish to participate in the debate over the article on this thread, then simply don't. It's a very easy thing to do. Requires no energy expenditure at all.
What if you started up a new thread on a subject that mattered to you, and posters to the thread said the same thing to you ?
Isn't that just a form of censorship ? The dems are going to keep harping this incident (proof already in place as of TUESDAY) and it nice to have the Catholics providing a REBUTTAL (even if in the form of a video) so that we can use it when confronted with that issue (which, again, is very likely to happen).
ANYWAY , your 'argument' is that this thread is unneeded and rehashing an old and forgotten incident, and I say you are wrong and have already specified why. (now that is debate)
Her, and the entire government including the FBI, and DOJ, and most of the MSM.
This is an issue today.... because?
Thank you for posting this article.
I didn’t know that Hillary brought this incident up AGAIN (on Tuesday) and am glad the Catholic organization made the effort to rebut it.
FOX NEWS is reporting on the REBUTTAL made by the CATHOLIC organization in response to HILLARY using the year old incident in VIDEOS she released THIS TUESDAY.
All of this info was in the brief excerpt provided, did you not read anything but the first sentence ?
I'm glad FOX NEWS provided the info that the CATHOLIC organization provided a rebuttal to Hillary's RECENT CLAIM.
I can't believe YOU of all posters say this.
DId you not see this?
"and Hillary Clinton used a clip of the impression in a video released Tuesday slamming Trump. "
Yes, a year ago. But how many remember ? You even seem hazy on it.
The POINT is that HILLARY released a VIDEO this TUESDAY showing the incident again. The Catholic Website provided NEW REBUTTAL in the form of VIDEO, and that is WHY FOX News reported on it.
