Politifact: "Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton is 'wrong' to say he mocked a disabled reporter": False
"Trump may deny that he intentionally mocked Kovaleski for his disability, but many Americans believe his remarks amounted to mocking, and we concur that that’s a reasonable -- indeed, perhaps the only -- interpretation of his actions. The notion that Trump’s comments about Cruz and a general undercut Clinton’s claim don’t hold water, because all three examples constitute mocking, whether a disability was involved or not. We rate the statement False."

- rjeli 10y agoOK, do you have an actual response to what it shows? Seems cut-and-dry to me. edit: parent comment originally just said "that video is pathetic" https://i.sli.mg/g7PW3y.png https://i.sli.mg/g7PW3y.png
- zzzeek 10y agoyes, the style in which he mocked the disabled reporter was completely different and is consistent with what I would observe while growing up in 1970s suburban Long Island (close to where Trump grew up in Queens). Maybe you're just not from New York. The Ted Cruz motions were not at all the same thing. Not to mention, being a decent human being would mean that even if you do have the same "mockery" routine for everyone, you'd hold off doing it towards someone where your routine clearly is going to be interpreted that way. As we're talking about a site that bans people who don't treat each other decently.
