The liberal media has a tendency to lie about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump both to demonize him and to avoid actually addressing the serious issues he has raised throughout his campaign.
One of the most onerous lies about Trump from the media has been their claim, repeated ad nauseum even to this day, that he hates disabled people, an assertion they have based on a clip of him at a November 2015 rally in South Carolina where he was poking fun at a flustered reporter who also happened to suffer from a disability.
According to a lengthy report from a site called Catholics 4 Trump, the clip of Trump flailing his arms wildly was routinely interposed with a still shot of The New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski.
Kovaleski suffers from a congenital condition known as arthrogryposis, a disability that actually restricts his movement and keeps his right arm mostly immobilized and tight against his body — certainly not flailing around irregularly as the media would have you believe.
Furthermore, video clips from the same rally and others shortly thereafter showed Trump making the same flailing movements with his arms to describe the flustered reactions of both a military general and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz when asked tough questions for which they had no answers.
