Ann Coulter: Media Invented Lie About Trump Mocking Disabled Reporter
Big Journalism (Breitbart) ^ | August 31, 2016 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 09/01/2016 11:48:31 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Just when you think the media could not possibly become more loathsome, the Fourth Estate bullies prove you wrong again. The Washington Post’s latest ugliness was to exploit the disability of a newspaper reporter in order to smear the Republican nominee for president. Then — and this is the least surprising part of the story — the Post lied about it.

Other than the subject of that paragraph — which I slyly switched from Trump to the media — that is an exact paraphrase of the Post’s opening lines from an editorial hawking the media’s most successful lie about Donald Trump: that he mocked a man for being disabled.

I have a chapter on that lie in my new book, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, It was perfectly obvious that Trump was not mimicking any disability that Serge has, but I didn’t have the smoking gun to prove that the media were lying and knew they were lying. Now we have it.

A group called Catholics 4 Trump has posted a video clip of another part of that same speech, in which Trump imitates a flustered general. Guess what? He does the exact same arm flailing.

In another speech, Trump pretended to be a timorous Ted Cruz. Again, he does the exact same arm flailing. You can see the videos here.

Neither the general nor Cruz is disabled.

If a jury ever saw these videos, it would acquit Trump immediately. Trump’s impression of a groveling reporter is just like his imitation of a groveling general and just like his imitation of a groveling U.S. senator. He’s like Rich Little that way: All his impressions look the same.

Perhaps Trump is not a subtle actor, but he’s utterly innocent of making fun of a disabled person.

The only ‘person’ DJT has EVER mocked/ridiculed with disabilities is HRC!

I’m just glad she’s still on the band wagon. She’s one of the ground floor Trump supporters.

Coulter should have done this months ago. It is the most common ad I see here in PA- Trump acting spastic on a TV, with children watching. The lie has been out there so long it is now unlikely to be thought a lie.

When this incident first hit, I couldn’t tell from the video that the reporter was disabled either. Not until the media focused in on his disabled arm. So I figured Trump was mocking him and his question because the fellow came across as a namby-pamby wuss. I chuckled. How un-PC of me.

Ready Yahoo News because it come with Yahoo Finance.

For days, every article about Trump is negative. They find a nobody entrepreneur, for example; to say that Trump is bad for business. An equal nobody says that Hillary wants to be the small business president, when the dominant story is about the foundation. Barf.

Yahoo thinks nobody notices.

They are self marginalizing.

Today, CNN and HLN ran skits of late night comedians mocking Trump. They never stop.

That is why we call it the Washington ComPost. Just as ripe as the President.

Yahoo has a news site?

Who knew?

Is it anything like the AOL news site?

Both seem to be tied to MSNBC as their primary feed. And THEY are reliable.

The idea that Trump would even remember this obscure reporter is what gave the lie away shortly after it surfaced in the media. And anyone who watched Trump’s hilarious early rallies remembers his various imitations of panty-waisted libs - all of which were exactly alike, lol!
