Trump Is Now Denying That He Mocked Serge Kovlaski's Disability.

It is becoming harder these days to turn on you TV and not see the ugly hate filled face of Donald Trump. I've become accustomed to it and don't pay much attention when he appears on my screen. But today was different. After spending a good amount of my weekend surfing the web (specifically DU) and seeing the video of Trump mocking the reporter appear over and over again it definitely caught my eye when I heard the reporter on the news this morning say "Trump is denying he ever mocked the reporter's disability." REALLY?...

Not only did the scumbag deny mocking Kovlaski's disability but his campaign is now demanding an apology from the press! Let me repeat that TRUMP IS DEMANDING AN APOLOGY! An apology from the press for actually doing their job! I was amused when the reporter at "Good Morning America" called him "teflon Don" which does sum this whole thing up pretty well. Nothing this motherfucker says ever gets him in trouble.

Journalists and disability advocates were none too amused by Trump’s performance. In the face of mounting criticism, Trump released a lengthy statement on Thanksgiving, claiming that he had had no idea that Kovaleski was handicapped.

“I don’t know who this reporter Serge Kovaleski is, what he looks like, or his level of intelligence,” Trump wrote. “I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”

“I don’t know who this reporter Serge Kovaleski is, what he looks like, or his level of intelligence,” Trump wrote. “I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”

But according to Kovaleski, Trump knows exactly what he looks like.

“Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” Kovaleski told the New York Times. “I’ve interviewed him in his office.”

In fact, Kovaleski knows Trump well enough not to be shocked by the billionaire’s insults.

“The sad part about it is, it didn’t in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record,” Kovaleski told the Washington Post.

Unbelievable. One line in there really stood out to me:

"Donald and I were on a FIRST NAME BASIS FOR YEARS"

Trump is a dangerous pathological liar. What upsets me more than the man himself is how gullible his supporters are. Ditto heads all of 'em. Lets see it one more time for good measure.

This guy is devastating to the image of our country.

1. Trump will say whatever it takes to keep his face in front of a live camera.

Nothing more, nothing less.

2. I really hope he doesn't get the nomination.

He just isn't fun to make fun of he is a hate filled gas bag. He makes me miss Mittens who was an entitled twit, but didn't really seem all that hateful.

3. Republicans are hateful creatures by nature

Mittens was just better at hiding it

[Kalidurga]

4. Yes he was

I prefer it somewhat hidden. The thing he said about the 47% well it was pretty obvious he felt that way long before he was busted for saying it. But, the T-Rump is OTT by a long shot and that kind of virulent hatred on the airwaves is not a good thing. The only thing it does is expose his supporters as being racist if they can support someone that spews like that.

5. It just doesn't get much uglier than this - on SO MANY levels ...

6. It's sport & entertainment; truth is a secondary impediment. nt

7. Morals and tRump...

...have nothing in common. What a mega POS!

8. Don't ever forget, Trump is *exactly* what 25% of our country admires and wants as President.

And another 50% of our country are low-information voters, who are never more than well-crafted campaign away from throwing elections to the Republican candidate.
