Donald Trump Slammed After Making Fun of Journalist With Disability; Here's Everything You Need to Know!

Presidential candidate Donald Trump was slammed once again after mocking a journalist with disability.

Republican candidate Donald Trump found himself in another controversy after ridiculing a journalist who suffers from a disability. Trump was blasted after making fun of the journalist in a campaign that was held in South Carolina.

Fox News Latino reported that the billionaire businessman refused to apologize to the journalist named Serge Kovaleski. Instead, the business mogul is demanding a public apology from Washington Post, which claimed that he bullied the reporter.

Kovaleski wrote an article in 2001 for The Washington Post about the World Trade Center attack. During his campaign in South Carolina, Trump called Kovaleski a "nice guy" before mocking him.

"Now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy," Trump said before he allegedly jerked his arms around. "Ah, I don't know what I said! I don't remember!"

Kovaleski is a reporter who extensively covered Trump for The Daily News. He is suffering from arthrogryposis, which limits his ability to move his arms. In Trump's statement, he remained firm that he has never met the reporter, The New York Times reported.

"I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski [sic], is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence," Trump said. "Despite having one of the all-time great memories, I certainly do not remember him. What I do know is that after 14 years and no retraction, this reporter tried to pull away from the tailgate party paragraph he wrote many years ago for The Washington Post."

In an interview, Kovaleski said that he has interviewed Trump in his office and at press conferences, and have interacted with him as a reporter when he was working for The Daily News. He also said that they were on a first-name basis for years.

Carly Fiorina, Republican presidential candidate, criticised Trump saying that the mogul only feels big when he makes other people feel small. She also said that Trump's behaviour has become a pattern in a way that Trump feels free to say something insulting and then claim that the media has misunderstood him.

"This is the pattern, perhaps, of an entertainer. It's certainly not the pattern of a leader," Fiorina said.

Trump denounced his actions by saying that the controversy has only made Kovaleski popular. He later insisted that he doesn't mock people, especially those who have problems.

Kovaleski now works for The New York Times that lambasted Trump for embarrassing one of their reporters. Meanwhile, Trump finds nothing wrong about his actions and even said that the newspaper should just focus on their survival and not on "dishonest" reporting about him.
