1. Donald Trump Mocks New York Times Reporter
By Noah Fischel
While on the campaign trail, GOP Presidential Front-Runner Donald Trump openly
mocked a reporter for the New York Times at a rally in South Carolina. Over the
course of the last week and a half, Donald Trump has been adamantly defending his
now-debunked claims of "cheering Muslim Americans" watching from Jersey City as
the World Trade Center came down.
New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski wrote a story for the Washington Post in
2001 investigating the claims that there were Muslims in Jersey City, NJ celebrating
at the fall of the Twin Towers. Kovaleski, much like many other journalists, proved
those claims wrong, however that has not kept the GOP Presidential hopeful from
digging up these old claims and disputing anyone that tries to prove him otherwise.
The story that Kovaleski wrote resurfaced in the wake of these claims, which forced
Trump to default to his normal attacks, only his attacks hit a bit closer to home for
the NYT reporter.
Donald Trump, while referring to the story during his rally, began to flap his arms in
a mocking gesture, making fun of Kovaleski who suffers from arthrogryposis.
Trump used an exaggerated voice and arm action as he pretended to be Kovaleski.
"Now the poor guy, you've got to see this 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,' " Trump said.
The New York Times was offended. "We find it's outrageous that he would ridicule
the appearance of one of our reporters," a spokesperson said.
Trump frequently attacks reporters who do not align with his views. Despite this, he
still holds a considerable lead in the polls. According to a new CBS/YouGov poll
among likely Iowa Republican caucus goers released last week, Trump still polls
higher than nearly half of the GOP field (at 30%), however in a surprise slip, is now
being trailed by Sen. Ted Cruz (21%), with Dr. Ben Carson falling to third (19%).
