2016 GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump is under fire for allegedly mocking a disabled reporter.
According to the New York Daily News:
“Donald Trump denied mocking a reporter’s physical disability — insisting Thursday he has no idea what the journalist looks like, while lashing out at the “financially failing and totally biased” New York Times for calling him out.
“I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence,” Trump said in a statement Thursday, misspelling the maligned reporter’s last name. “I don’t know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime — or somebody of less athletic or physical ability.”
Trump had gone after Kovaleski, who has a congenital condition called arthrogryposis that limits the movement of joints, at a campaign rally on Tuesday, flailing his arms in apparent mockery of the journalist’s movements.
“Now the poor guy, you ought to see the guy,” he said as he gestured.
Trump’s insensitive comments sparked an onslaught of criticism that intensified Thursday — with many journalists and disability advocates ripping the boorish billionaire for stooping to a new low.”
They leave out the fact though that his arm gesture is part of multiple movements. They also exclude the fact he called the reporter a nice guy. Plus, Trump regularly mocks reporters in a dramatic way…
