To supposedly prove his point, Trump pointed to a Septemarticle in the Post written by Kovaleski in which the reporter mentioned police who “detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties.” At his South Carolina rally on November 24 of last year, Trump flew into a derisive impression of Kovaleski as he claimed that the reporter was backing away from an article he’d written for The Washington Post in 2001.Īt that point in his campaign, Trump was under fire for his claim that American muslims “celebrated” the destruction of the World Trade Center twin towers by terrorists on September 11, 2001. Kovaleski suffers from arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that restricts the movement of the muscles in his arms.
Trump mocks reporter with disability Donald Trump is under fire again, this time for mocking a New York Times reporter that suffers from a chronic condition.
