The New York Times is accusing Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump of ridiculing the physical handicap of a journalist, calling it “outrageous.”...

Kovaleski — who suffers from arthrogryposis, a chronic condition that impairs the movement of his arms — has since denounced the report.

“Now the poor guy, you gotta 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 Friday, flailing his arms as he imitated Kovaleski. “This was 14 years ago – they didn’t do a retraction.”

A spokeswoman for the Times told Politico it is "outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters."

P.S. Three of my favorite human beings have arthrogryposis. One is an artist accomplished enough to have a website.
