Has Donald Trump gone too far this time?
The Republican presidential hopeful is under fire for
mocking a New York Times reporter with an 'outrageous' impression of the
journalist's physical handicap during a campaign speech on Wednesday.
Not only has the New York Times come to the defense of
their reporter, Serge Kovaleski, but the journalist's colleagues and the public
at large have taken to social media to register their disgust with the brash
candidate.
'Donald Trump making fun of a handicapped reporter. How
sorry can one get. This guy wants to be president? What a joke!' one Twitter
user named Richard Kirby wrote on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Trump has refused to back down from his mockery
and has even demanded an apology from the Times.
He released a statement on Thanksgiving afternoon, saying:
'Serge Kovaleski must think a lot of himself if he thinks I remember him from
decades ago – if I ever met him at all, which I doubt I did.
'He should stop using his disability to grandstand and get
back to reporting for a paper that is rapidly going down the tubes.'
