    Why not? The Clinton campaign is still falsely using this against Trump.

      Because "Catholics 4 Trump" certainly would not have bias in their articles!

      You guys are seriously the worst with this stuff. When all the factual, data-driven stuff for Hilldawg comes up it's biased but then you source this garbage. Get a grip people.

      I could have used any number of sources besides Catholics 4 Trump (except the corrupted MSM who wikileaks have confirmed what we already know about their collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign).

        Well, this is an article from July, when it happened - everyone has seen the video and drawn their conclusions, and pretty much everyone has come to the same conclusion, that that's exactly what he was doing, except 'catholics4trump' apparently. Can't imagine why...

          And the Clinton campaign is still running their false ads in late October about how horrible Trump is for mocking a disabled reporter when Trump says himself he wasn't mocking the reporters disability and all the evidence that supports Trump's denial that doesn't get reported.

                You conveniently left out the rest of what I posted about all the evidence that points to Trump's denial besides him saying he never was mocking the reporters disability...Here here let's get it right...

                  If that source is not acceptable then Google "Trump did not mock reporter's disability" and there are too many links for me to post...I went with Catholics 4 Trump just to hear you all squeal about it.

                    I did that before you said - they basically all link back to catholics4trump. "Did Donald Trump actually mock a disabled reporter? One trump support group thinks not..." etc

                      Look, let's be frank for a moment here. Suppose Trump didn't intend to mock the reporter's condition, for the sake of argument. He:

                      1) ...should have known damn well how that would look when he did it

                      2) ...shouldn't be mocking a reporter anyway (not exactly presidential)

                      3) ...has such a reputation as a colossal douche bag that it's not hard to see why people take it as he did

                      4) ...could have cleared it all up the next day, saying "I absolutely did not intend it in that way, but I can see now how it might have come across like that, I'm sorry for any offense caused" and it would have been dealt with. Instead, he doubles down on attacking the reporter, says he's "using his disability to grandstand" or something.

                      But he did not. Why? Because his whole thing is that he 'says what he thinks and doesn't care about anyone else' - and we're supposed to laud that as a quality in a person? Let alone in a president! Sorry, no.

                        Trump was mocking the reporter for backpeddling on a story he wrote. He was backpeddling because it helped vindicate what Trump had said about people in this country who were cheering and celebrating after 9/11. Trump has mocked others in the same fashion such as Ted Cruz but in this case a reporter had a disability that the media could claim he was making fun of his disability. What disability did Cruz have and others whom Trump made similar gestures about? As for mocking a reporter have you seen the media's negative ratings? They are viewed as the lowest on the totem pole and for good reason.

                          Trump is an equal opportunity mocker.

                          He mocked a white privileged man (Jeb Bush) harder than anybody.

                                The journalist that has the disability does not even have those type of arm movements...he is immobilized and his arm is in a fixed position..so the reported mocking of his disability doesn't even line up with his disability...Trump was mocking the reporter and not his disability..I believe his mocking was meant to be more of this reporter as being an exaggerated being flustered than to mock his disability.

                                  ...and the Donald, who had never heard of the guy before this interaction, knew all about the specific disability the guy had, for sure.

                                    Let's put this a different way because it boils down to two scenarios.

                                    1) He knew the guy had the disability and mocked him-making him a total piece of shit.

                                    OR

                                    2) He didn't intend for it to come off that way, but a 4 year old could tell you it would-making him a total fucking idiot.

                                    ...so you are supporting a complete idiot or a total piece of shit. Woo hoo? There's no winning this argument is the point.

                                      I wish the "Catholics4Trump" had this much zeal for bringing Bernard Law back to the US to stand trial. Where is the "honorable" Cardinal, anyway? Oh, that's right: hiding out in Vatican City, with an endowment from the Church. An endowment paid for by the Catholic faithful.

                                      Catholics should probably focus on cleaning their own house first before they go back to casting the proverbial stones at others again.

                                        Let's put this a different way because it boils down to two scenarios.

                                        1) He knew the guy had the disability and mocked him-making him a total piece of shit.

                                        OR

                                        2) He didn't intend for it to come off that way, but a 4 year old could tell you it would-making him a total fucking idiot.

                                        ...so you are supporting a complete idiot or a total piece of shit. Woo hoo? There's no winning this argument is the point.

                                        Did Trump know this journalist had a disability? And mocking a journalist today is appropriate and they have brought all the derision heaped upon themselves they deserve. What was meant to be the watchdog of our democracy has turned into the lapdogs of the democratic party. The collusion between the liberal media and the democratic party has been brought out even further with the wikilieaks.

                                        "Opponents say that Trump met Kovelski in the late 80’s when he did stories on him. Trump admits he may very well have met him back then in the video of Trump wearing the red hat that I posted above. Watch it again. But Trump meets thousands of reporters a week. The number of reporters he had to have met in his life and since the 80’s are astronomical. Not being able to recognize the name “Kovaleski” as someone he supposedly met over a decade ago is totally understandable. And again, even if he did somehow remember the man, the man was not spastic. Neither were Ted Cruz or the General he imitated in similar fashion."

                                          Trump was mocking the reporter...not the reporter's disability. He has mocked others in similar fashion who have no disabilities.
