At a rally in South Carolina on Tuesday night, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump showed that he’s not above mocking someone with a physical handicap, as he performed a derisive impression of New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a chronic physical condition that has limited the movement of his arms.
Donald Trump has added a new item to his growing list of presidential campaign firsts: mocking a person’s physical handicap.
During a defense of his widely debunked claim that thousands of people in parts of New Jersey with large Arab populations celebrated the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, Trump performed a derisive impression of New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski — who suffers from a chronic condition that has limited the movement of his arms — at a rally in South Carolina on Tuesday night.
Citing a 2001 article written by Kovaleski that referred to people allegedly seen celebrating the attacks, Trump said it was “Written by a nice reporter.”
Trump went on, “Now the poor guy — you ought to see the guy: ‘Uhh I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.’ He’s going, ‘I don’t remember. Maybe that’s what I said.’” As he spoke, Trump launched into an impression which involved gyrating his arms wildly and imitating the unusual angle at which Kovaleski’s hand sometimes rests.
Watch for yourselves as Trump mocks Serge Kovaleski and his physical handicap.
Now remember….this is the Republican presidential frontrunner and a man who thinks he’s qualified and capable of serving as our nation’s president.
